nike amp sucks

when it works it's great! but that's maybe 50% of the time. not enough to out weight how much it SUCKS

here are a few examples of what makes me lose my mind and look like a crazy schizo on the street:
1. next doesn't work, can't skip awful slow song, repeatedly hitting amp and holding arms in weird position while looking down and getting more and more frustrated
2. pause/play doesn't work, can't pause when I'm waiting at a light, repeatedly hitting amp and getting more and more frustrated that my min/mile pace is getting creamed
3. pause/play doesn't sync with nike+, after I hit the center button to start I immediately hit pause and do my stretches, then when I start running I hit play, music starts, nike+ hasn't, 5 miles later my run didn't get recorded
4. play/pause doesn't work, at a light, hit pause, maybe it actually paused, light turns green, hit play, hear "ending workout" GRRRRRR then I have to fumble with the ipod and quickly try to get up a basic mode to finish with
5. above scenario happens and nike amp actually puts pebble to sleep so now I have to reboot the ipod, not convenient in the middle of a run

I'm gonna switch to garmin which is way more accurate and way more informative and not deal with nike at all, clearly profits and not quality is all they care about. I've known that for years, I'm just a sucker for new gadgets.
