I've owned Timex watches for the past 20 years, using them mostly for running and training for races from 5K to the marathon. When my battery died on my last one I decided to try something new, especially since the battery didn't last particularly long on it (about 2 years, when it should go 4-5). I really like this watch. I've been using it for about a month now, and am impressed with its functionality.

Pros: (1) Excellent functionality -- I like how the modes are designed. (2) Power-save feature is very nice -- you can set the watch display to go off after 1, 2, 4, 6 or 12 hours. I set mine for an hour. To turn it back on, simply press any button. (3) Nice, large, visible numbers for splits while running. (4) Very stylish design. I was unsure about the colors and look when I ordered it, but I am sold now. (5) Warranty -- two full years! That's way better than Timex.

Cons: (1) The reset button is also the light function button. So, in order to reset the memory you must also trigger the light. Not a big deal, but it does eat battery power. In my mind, this is more than made up for by the power-save function. (2) I'm not sure and time will tell, but the band has a clip attachment to catch the extra amount of band not being used that seems like it could break. Perhaps it won't, but I wonder how it will hold up. (3) The light itself is not overly brilliant -- I do like the "indiglo" of Timex better. But, this is not a big deal.

Overall I recommend this product. For me, four-stars is about as much as a product can earn as I treat five-stars as meaning nearly zero cons -- very rare. Grab this one and be happy!

I just got my watch this morning and it is standard (i.e. fantastic) Nike quality. This watch is perfect for me because I'm quite active in sports. It keeps the time, date, has alarms, lights up green, has a big dial face for quick and easy glances to see exactly what you need to see, even has some sort of data saving function, and is super stylish!

My only gripe about this (and it's not even really about the watch itself) is that this model, WR0139, is a women's watch. What this means is that the band is slimmer and shorter than a men's watch. This watch happens to fit me but on the LAST NOTCH; so I'm going to keep it because then the only real gripe I have, then, is the band width, which I don't think anyone is really going to notice.

This watch is great for keeping track of my running. It has many many features, and the screen is nice and big. The buttons are pretty easy to use and it doesn't get too sweaty. Overall great purchase.

I'm a distance runner, artist, and new mom so I like having a good sports watch that is easy to read, aesthetic, and can take a pounding. After having a Timex Marathon die on me for the fourth time (fantastic watches, but they are very poorly made now), I decided it as time to try something different.

I wanted a watch that was durable, had a readable display and lap features. I was also looking for something that was somewhat aesthetic (I love casio's durability, but their watches are a pain to read and clunky-looking).

Based on reviews on several different sites (including here), I decided to try the Nike Triax Fury 100. For $35 (it retails $95), I figured it was worth a try. It's fantastic! It has many functions, fits very comfortably on my left wrist (but not on my right), and is everything I hoped for.

I only have two complaints - First, it looks a little large, but that's no surprise as I'm a petite woman (5'1") and most of the reviewers for this model are guys (even though one of them mentions it is a woman's model). It's more important that it fits very well and comfortably--which is great as most watch bands irritate my skinny little wrists (I'm tightened to the first hole, but I usually am on the first or second on women's watches). My other complaint is I wish mine came with a manual (I'm currently looking for one online). It has a lot of features, and I'd like to know how to use them all. :)

All that aside, though, I'm pretty pleased. Time will tell as to how well this watch will last compared to my 4 timexes, but I have a good feeling about it.

Edit: I have found some information and manuals for this watch:

Nike Triax Fury 100 Style Watch (Black/Red)

I have this watch in the Black Grey also! this color is my "sporty work out color" the other is more for around town.


Pros: Great color and look.
Pros: Band stays on for outdoor activities, it is a rubber material so it wont smell
Pros: Easy to view, the display is tilted
Pros: Quality

Cons: instructions are a little crazy, but I know how to set it now! also available online when you lose them.

Overall: Best price I have seen on this watch. I think Nike is dropping out of watches so this may be a closeout to snatch up.

really good quality and good for running. the red part of the watch becomes darker and dirty looking after time and I haven't found a good way of making it look clean yet.

This watch is perfect for running. It is light weight and very durable. The only issue I have is that the wristband is a little small. I am an average male and have to put the wristband at the second to last notch. I run/jump collegiately and we all wear this nike watch. It is a great quality. The features on the watch are great. There is time, laps, reps, and it even allows you to save your previous workouts.

This is a great watch for the price (I payed around $35). The large display is easy to read even while running and the buttons are arranged so that only one will be pressed at a time. There are more modes and features built into this watch than I will ever use, but they are quite handy. I love how it sits diagonally on my arm when worn.

My only complaint is the ease with which the sound can be turned on and off. You simply press a button once to turn it on, and again to turn it off. I don't like it when my watch beeps every hour, but I find myself needing to turn off the sound multiple times since I always seem to turn it on without noticing. I wish this was a press and hold feature, but alas, a minor complaint that I can easily live with.

The sleep feature of this watch is also really nice and extends the battery life many times over. However, I wish there was an increment shorter than an hour.

Great watch, but a few problems:

(1) I am left handed, and I didn't think about the curve of the watch before I bought it. I now have to bend my right arm at an awkward angle if I really want to get a good view of the time.

(2) I am petite (5'3") and the size of the face looks like a man's watch on my arm. Rather big and bulky.

(3) The numbers aren't smooth, but look almost "perforated" --- the small spacing between the numbers makes it somewhat difficult to read and a small irritant.

It does fit well and the colors are great -- a very bright red with black.

The setup process is a little bit complicated. But after that, it works very well.
