Keep your training time on track as well as your fitness levels with the Nike Triax C8 digital watch and heart rate monitor (with included chest strap). Its target training zones feature let you program your ideal heart zones, with alerts for when you are outside of the pre-set zone.

The 50-lap memory provides lap time, split time, average pace, distance and average heart rate for each lap. It includes two interval timers for run/walk programs and hard/easy running.

The watch case and co-molded polyurethane strap form a unique S-shaped design that curves comfortably around your wrist for an improved fit and quicker reading of the time.

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.

Here are a number of the features I like about this watch/heartrate monitor. I've used this solely for running.

-Simple operation after the initial setup(put on heartrate monitor and go)

-The cloth part of the chest band is washable

-There is no metal that touches your skin so it doesn't make you cold on cold mornings

-Lot of display options

-Very easy to read screen

-Lot of useful features (including interval timing, time in target Heart Rate zone, etc.)

-You can have the option of setting a power save so the watch 'sleeps' if it isn't used for a certain number of hours.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nike HRM Triax C8 - poor quality, poor service, July 12, 2006

I purchased the Nike Triax C8 back in January. After 2 months of daily use it stopped working. I returned the unit to Nike's repair facility. It took 7 weeks for them to return the watch! Well I have been using it for about two months again and guess what? The watch dies in the middle of my run. I changed the battery, still the watch is dead. I will be going back to Polar, the most reliable brand of HRM.

This review is from: Nike UnisexTriax C8 Watch (Watch)

I got this monitor because my Polar F11 died. I've had two middle-to-upper-end Polars and got really tired of not being able to change batteries myself, the "Coded" transmitters being nothing more than a marketing gimmick, and my general displeasure with the reliability of the F11. So I switched from Polar to the C8. I couldn't be happier. I've had the monitor for about 6 months with no issues. The features are great and I use the interval timer extensively. The only thing it's really missing is a timer that shows you how long you've been in your target HRZ while you're working out.
