5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Choice, January 21, 2009

By	Amy (Lenexa, KS States) - See all my reviews

After many hours of reading reviews I knew that Nike was probably my best bet. I wasn't interested in the battery issue the Polar monitors have and so many of the others just didn't rate well.
Getting an accurate monitor is especially important to me because I am working out nearly everyday and am pregnant, so I have to monitor myself and back off when needed. I chose this watch because it is fairly basic, stopwatch, heartrate, and time- all I need.
I've been using it for a couple months now and am happy with it. This is a good quality monitor for a fair price. The strap is comfortable, I forget I'm wearing it. I love that the gym's equipment picks up its signal as soon as I get on to display my HR on the screen. So far I've not ever had a problem with another HR monitor interfereing when I do my spin or other classes. I've found it to be very accurate while working out. However, at rest it seems a bit off sometimes- but that's not when I'm concerned about my HR. During one workout last week I was getting some odd readings, but I had not wet it before strapping it on so I don't think it was getting a good signal. It seems as long as I do what I'm supposed to do (rub a little water on it before strappping it on) then it does what it's supposed to do. Unless you want to spend a lot more money on a Polar, and hassle with returning it for battery replacements, this is probably the next best thing- or just as good!
One final note of importance, I broke off the attachment piece to the strap my third time ever using it! I wasn't paying close attention and pulled at it the wrong way in my rush. I called the customer service number that came in the box and was helped very quickly. No problem, a new strap was sent immediately with no cost to me! Nike was great to work with.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent hrm, May 19, 2009

By	K. Sullivan (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a long term (8 yr plus) heart rate monitor user for high intensity cardo workouts. First impressions: Build quality excellent, much higher than Sigma hrm's (which I could not get to last more than six months). Quality is on par with Polar, at a much lower price. User interface is the best I have seen on an hrm, (much better than the low end Polars, which drive me nuts). Setup is fast and operation in workout is easy with large common sense keys. I especially like the one button selection to flip between a large heart rate only display, and a workout time/smaller heart rate display. Nice simple average heart rate calculation, and a single hi/lo range, which I require, but no other options that often increase cost and complexity. Quickly picked up my (dry) resting heart rate, a rarity at this price point. If build quality is related to longevity, this one should last a long time. But I am hard on hrm's, so we'll see.

5.0 out of 5 stars perfect for me so far , August 31, 2008

By	Sharps (Illinois) - See all my reviews

I had a polar monitor that continually would not register in mid-workout. In contrast, I have not had a single problem with the Nike Triax (so far, one month). Additionally, the Nike watch allows the buyer to change the batteries themself, but the Polar monitors do not-one has to send it in to Polar when the battery inevitably wears out.
