Where to place phone while running with Apple Watch

[jshear]

Thanks Jeff, may go with FlipBelt as it seems to be highly recommended on here!

I highly recommend it as I am an avid runner and I have tried mostly everything. Its the most comfortable. You will feel like your running not carrying a phone anymore. Also the Plantronics Back Beat fit it so far the best sweat proof wireless headset I have found. Its a perfect combination with my flip belt.

Cheers

My wife uses a Flip Belt for races, and I'm ordering one now so I won't have to use the armband any more

Thanks! This is recommended a lot now, so will consider.

Thanks again, you've really helped me! I was hopeless!

+1 on the flipbelt. Works well with 6+

I have been looking at these plantronics. Does the band bounce around an hit your head/neck while running?

Its really is not noticeable. I have found it very comfortable for my long runs and even to the gym. Highly recommended. You can find it on Amazon and at Best Buy.

Cheers

I had an armband first, but switched to belts about 3-4 years ago. I've tried many belts, and the Amphipod Airflow Lite has worked best for me with my iPhone 6+. I keep the phone, ID and house/car key in it. I run marathons with it and it's comfortable and doesn't bounce.

Great! Will have a look later!

I use joggers with zipped pockets when at the gym.

Flipbelt is great. Pair this with some bluetooth headphones for the best setup.

Thanks, got some headphones so this is perfect.

I have a few pairs of Lululemon shorts that have an integrated pocket for your phone. Their shorts are expensive but they are the best I've ever owned and your phone will stay put in the phone pocket.

Looks good! And available easily in the UK!

Yeah I also noticed quite a few of the options are listed in the UK which i'll be looking into.

I just use the pockets of my shorts and it jostles around but 10 minutes into my run and I tend to not notice it anymore. I use a 6+

Flip belt is the way to go. Been using one for a year now and works great.

I think the options are in-hand, belt, armband, pocket. Sounds like the OP doesn't like 3 of the 4, so belt is what's left. I just carry mine in-hand, but that's without a watch, so I like to be able to see it.

Used to use pocket but fell out so many times, would need zip

I used an armband, they take awhile to get used to and positioned right, but that was always the best option. Then the iPhone 6 came out... That pushes the limit, and it a little to bulky. Then I picked up a pair of compression shorts somewhere that had a little pocket in it. I wish I could remember where I got them, but it works perfectly, feels a little weird, but it keeps the phone from moving around.

Whenever I run a 5k or 10k, in cold weather of course, I wear a put my 6+ in my pocket and use a few safety pins to make sure it never fell out.

I may need another solution for warmer weather though.

Hey! I go running a few times a week, and since it is summer, I don't want to wear longer clothes, as it is too hot. I can't wear a cardigan/jumper/sweater either, so where could I keep my phone? I don't want it in my hand, as I am a kid and it could get taken, or in a loose pocket. I want to take it with me for the more accurate readings and of course the GPS. Where are you going to put yours? Thanks!

Flip Belt.

I repeat.

Flip. Belt.

You're Welcome.

I plan on keeping my phone at home when I go for a run.

If you're a girl - I've seen them put inside their bra.

Thats going to be a quite sweaty place, properly not the best thing to a non water resistant phone.

Women put their money there all the time.

I've been a cashier before - it's like this hot/disgusting thing all at the same time when a hot woman pulls out a 20, and hands it to me from her cleavage.

Another vote for the flip belt from me. Very comfortable and doesn't move about.

I used an armband. Or the bra, well , once. Sweaty case oh lovely. #

This actually points out to me how long it's been since I ran, I've never ran with my 6+ #
