Just wanted to write a review about the super vs. regular versions of this watch. I really like the watch now that I have one that correctly fits me. I orginally ordered the regular because I am an average sized guy (6', 170lbs) and wanted it to fit correctly. I couldn't find any information explaining the difference anywhere on the web. Even the Nike Timing website itself had no good explanation of the difference. When I ordered the regular sized watch it barely fit around my wrist. So I sent it back and ordered the super size version of the watch. The super fits great. It looks like the regular size was meant for women. My wife tried it on and it fit her great. The super version overall is bigger. The strap is bigger, the face is bigger, etc. My advice is that if you are a guy looking to buy this watch, buy the super version of it.

I LOVE this watch. It is very easy to operate - much easier than any other sports timing watch I tried. Nice big numbers. Up to 5 intervals for training. Very happy with my purchase.

Almost all watches have a stop watch feature with the lap mode, however, I've found a large difference between watches in how the interval mode works. I basically wanted a watch that I could program two different times (2 minutes and one minute for example) and have the intervals cycle back and fourth so that I could go hit the trails and easily run intervals. This watch makes that simple and unlike other watches I checked out, it wasn't complicated to operate the interval feature. Aside from it being functional, I like the looks a lot. The face is easy to read and for as large as the face is, the watch is very low profile and comfortable.

PROS:

-Good looking watch.

-Fairly easy to use.

-Love the fact that the watch face is twisted to make viewing it while I run easier.

-The watch's wrist band held up well, unlike the Swiss Army watches I've had crack on me.

CONS:

-After only a month's use, the plasic wrap that encases the watch itself started to detach and warp. It appears as though it was simply glued to the metal part of the watch. It's now so warped that it looks terrible and makes it difficult to press the buttons along the side.

-At 18 months, the watch has bugun to collect moisture inside. From diving deeper than its 100M rating, you ask? No, from sweat and shower water. The digital display is now failing and I'll soon have to throw the watch away like a piece of trash. That's just unnaceptable, Nike.

I like the watch and I use it on all my runs, but I never use all the features because the directions were so complicated that it's hard to remember what button should be pushed when running on top of the fact that the reset button is poorly places, so once you get everything going as you want you stand a good chance of erasing your progress. Perhaps, I don't really need this much watch, but it would be nice to easily use the features I've paid for. The watch itself however looks nice on and is comfortable.

My son requested this watch specifically for Christmas. He is a marathon runner and had lost his heart monitor watch (oddly enough, I'm not sure this watch has a heart monitor although it seems to have everything else a runner could want). The watch was not easy to find based on model number, even on the Nike website. I actually had to call Nike to help find the right search words/model numbers to look for. By then, I had to pay extra for delivery in order to be guaranteed to get it by Dec. 24. It ended up arriving at least 2 days early, brand new in the box. My son loves it.

I bought this watch as a gift for my husband. He loves running with it. The numbers are big enough to see while he is running, the buttons are large and easy to push, and the functions are great and easy to learn. If you like to track your time and progress while running, this is a great watch.

I bought the watch to time myself in running and swimming for training. This nike watch is very easy to use.What I like about it is you could save lap times. I could have gone with a less inexpensive watch but I bought it more for the quality and the name.

Other than being a little big, this watch works great and is easy to use.

Good but confusing buttons if you have used Ironman watches as long as I have.
