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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Looks awesome!!! But unusable., September 29, 2006

This review is from: Nike Unisex R0048-405 Triax Speed Watch (Watch)

I just got this watch and I love the look. You can tell the time from almost any crazy angle and the print on the watch is very large. The band has a very weird, unique design in that it buckles off-center, which seems to work very well for this watch. Though the metal clip to hold the band down is annoying while typing. It has a 100-track record which is more than enough for me and the data even allows you to modify results with distances for record tracking.

This watch is near perfection. There was only one thing wrong...

Every time I bend my wrist, it hits the "mode" button. This means every time I look at my watch I am in Chronology or Counter mode. It just won't stay in time mode no matter what I'm doing.

So, I'm taking it back. I've had other Triax's before and none of them have done this. I love the look but the mode button could not have been placed in a worst spot.

I'm crying, because otherwise I just love this thing... :'(

The problem with these type of Nike watches is that the bands aren't very durable and are expensive to replace. The curved display is cool, though.
