Totally agree, Andrew. Why buy any similar product that Adidas considers bringing out in any future policy after a let-down like this? Considering the huge outlay that purchasers have made on these products in the few years they’ve been out it’s nothing less than a betrayal of the company’s customer-base.
Plus, when you consider that they now basically own the entire Runtastic platform, where’s the problem with the uploading of personal data from, say SmartRun, to a Runtastic account: ESPECIALLY considering that we’ll be paying for the latter!
Poor show, Adidas. Poor show.

The other thing to note is that the software on existing Adidas miCoach Smart Run watches is no longer being updated, so is increasingly starting to fail (e.g. it will no longer sync, so despite the promises it actually DOESN’T work with Runtastic …) so its just a matter of time before everyone that spent hundreds of dollars on these watches has to throw them in the bin. Major turn off for ever buying another adidas product.

For any other sports besides running (football for example) there is almost a complete loss of any useful data.
Runtastic is virtually useless for anything but jogging.
