For those of you that have both what are the pros and cons of each? Price, features, battery, accuracy, etc.
My garmin forerunner 305 died out and I'm in the market to purchase a new one.
Thanks everyone!!

I called Nike customer service about theirs and was told that they can't guarantee its accuracy at all. ~75% accurate I was told...
I have had both. Garmin is more complexed with being able to choose more data fields and how many are on a screen. Nike only shows two pieces of data but you can scroll through them easily. And the Nike watch has less buttons and no annoying bezel that when it gets wet, causes the watch to stop watching. The Nike plus site is cool I think and the watch is slightly cheaper. Finally, if all the watches work off all the same GPS satellites, wouldn't they all have the same accuracy?
The answer to that final question is an emphatic no. The satellites don't determine their relative accuracy. The strength of their antennas and the quality of their internal software determine how accurate they are. In my experience and in the experience of many, Nike GPS is the least accurate.

Garmins are more pricey but are superior to the Nike watches due to their accuracy and the fact that I can go back several months to see how far I ran and how fast.
hardware and software of Garmin watches are superior to Nike.
My whole team is issued garmins by our coach. They all have the same garmin 305, and none of them hit the mile markers at the same spot. They can be off by up to 50 meters at the out part of a 10 mile run.
One kid on the team has a Nike GPS watch. His watch basically beeps when everyone elses does.
