Part of Nike's Bowerman Series (named after one of Nike's cofounders, and former University of Oregon track coach), Nike Triax Speed 50 Super digital sport watch for men and women offers a balanced combination of functionality, simplicity and ergonomics. Designed for serious runners, the Speed 50 Super helps you keep your training on track with an extra-large, quickly readable display and powerful sport timing features, including:

• 50-lap chronograph keeps splits while training or racing
• Five interval timers for run/walk programs and hard/easy running programs, time/date display
• Target Time compares goal times with actual times while training or racing
• Data Mode recalls total time, lap times, best, and average lap

The large-sized, convertible display allows quick view changes between lap time, total time, or both. The durable black polyurethane strap (with gold highlights) and hardened graphite polyurethane watch case form a unique S-shaped design that curves comfortably around your wrist for an improved fit and quicker reading of the time. Other features include Nike Electrolite one-touch backlighting, water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet) and a scratch-resistant mineral glass crystal.

About Nike
Nike watches are built to endure extreme outdoor conditions without missing a beat and they adhere to the company's founding mission statement: to bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world. And as Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman would add--if you have a body, you're an athlete. Ever since the fateful day in 1971 when University of Oregon track coach Bowerman poured rubber into his wife's waffle iron, technological innovation has been the spark that lights Nike's fire. The Waffle outsole transformed the running world and soon after Nike Air evolved Nike's revolutionary impact on sports. Beyond shoes--from watches and eyewear to carry gear and even socks--Nike is committed to giving athletes of every make, model and body style, who compete and recreate in ways never before imagined, the very best performance product. Here are just a few important dates in Nike's journey:

• American record-holder Steve Prefontaine becomes the first major track athlete to wear Nike brand shoes in 1973.
• At the 1976 Olympic Trials, Nike shoes are seen in abundance for the first time--worn by young, rising stars in both middle- and long-distance events.
• The first athlete to win an Olympic medal wearing Nike shoes is British runner, Steve Ovett in the 1980 Moscow Games
• The Just Do It advertising campaign began in 1988, and is now ensconced in the Americana exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum.

Bought as a gift for my son - a runner. He loves it. Note: if crystal cracks from being dropped, it can't be replaced. You have to buy a whole new watch.

3.0 out of 5 stars One problem..., June 4, 2007

This review is from: Nike Midsize WR0129-002 Triax Speed 50 Super Watch (Watch)

I like the way the watch looks and it is fully featured. My main complaint, is that the buttons are really sensitive. Half the time I look at my watch it says 4:00 AM (which is the time I have my alarm set to). The Orange button on the front is what toggles this, so anything that touches it switches to the alarm mode. This has become really annoying

3.0 out of 5 stars Deceptive Title Descriptor, August 31, 2007

So the watch is exactly what I wanted, except it was sized for a male wrist. The item is listed as midsize, but if you actually read the watch information, it states the band size is "unisex" and the product description states that the watch is "for men and women."

Any watch sized for both genders is way too big for my wrist. My understanding is MIDSIZE is meant for women/smaller wrists. I really wanted an s-shape Nike watch (with a high lap count) to conform to my wrist vs. one of the Nike Imara watches.

Unfortunately, because I did not read the watch details thoroughly enough, I am having to return this watch at my own expense.

Overall, 5 stars for the watch if you have a larger wrist, 1 star for a deceptive title.
