This one measures HR and distance precisely. Shows your pace ongoing and is awesome for metering your workouts and ensuring your on the right pace - not to fast or slow. Has customized display so you can monitor any two of the following at once: HR, Laptime, overall time, pace, distance. Also has a nice autolap function that can be adjusted for any distance - it automatically records a lap time at each mile for instance. This allows you to not worry about keeping track of that or missing a lap check. Highly recommended, allows you to measure your distance anywhere you run to the .01 mile.

I bought this watch/HRM/distance pod combo back in early 2004 as I began to train for my first marathon. Thousands of miles in training, four marathons, multiple road races and triathlons later, this piece of gear has not let me down.

The data it provides is useful and accurate and the device is simple to set up and use. The ability to store 100 laps of data is especially useful in retaining runs for later review before having to delete them for a new run (makes updating your training log much easier).

The foot pod is great as it doesn't require a good GPS signal and works regardless of surface. The AAA battery it runs on lasts about four to six months. It seems to be accurate within 2-3%, typically. Dialing it in can take a few runs but it is a fairly straight forward process. I find that the calibration does need slight adjustment each time I get a new pair of shoes, however. Also, if it is dialed in for running out on the road, expect a small variance when you get on a treadmill. The calibration doesn't seem to carry over 100%. It's not that big of a deal, I feel.

The HRM strap is very comfortable as others have mentioned and it has stood up to the test of time and looks to be in good shape despite the wear and tear it has endured. I find I have to change its battery about every eight months or so and this is with heavy usage so it is pretty efficient at its battery use. I do find that the HRM signal tends to be a bit spotty when swimming. I've not pin-pointed the reason but some times I get great reception when swimming, other times, not so much.

The watch has also withstood some heavy usage as I often wear it as a regular watch in addition to during training/racing. The band is not faded or cracked but the band is maybe a bit less supple than when new. The crystal surprisingly has no scratches. I attribute this to the raised ring around the crystal that functions to protect the face of the watch. While I see a fair numbers of nicks and scratches in the ring, they don't detract from the appearance of the watch. There are grey rubberized covers over the four side buttons that have begun to yellow a bit from their original light grey but I suppose that's to be expected as the oils from my skin and sweat can be easily concentrated on these buttons.

I wish that the light stayed on a little longer when activated. Pushing the light button illuminates the face for three seconds but when running along during those early morning training runs, three seconds really isn't enough to grab your HR, time, etc. Five seconds would be better. While it does stay on as you cycle through modes/functions, it will turn off quickly if you stop scrolling.

In three years, I've changed the actual watch battery once. Lastly, the case that this watch comes in is really nice as it can be kept in your gym bag (or luggage) and provide a nice storage place for the watch, strap and pod that will help avoid damage to the devices or loss.

I spoke so highly of the watch that my wife decided to get one as well and she too has been as happy as I have with it. Granted the $229 that we paid for each one of them is pretty steep, I will easily replace my CV10 with another should something happen to this one. This product is HIGHLY recommended to any runner looking for an HRM watch with a distance measuring device integrated with it. As a point of reference, I've used both the Garmin Forerunner and Timex GPS based devices with results not equal to this Nike device. In the end, neither of the devices won me over and convinced me to switch away from my Nike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Triax CV10 a must for training, March 9, 2007

I purchased the Triax CV10 a month ago. It has worked wonderfully and helped me to train at 60% to Max BPM. You can set your personal min BPM and max BPM to insure you heart rate is where you want it during your workout. I love being able to see exactly what speed I'm currently running, current BPM and the distance I've gone. At the end of my run, the CV10 reports best mile and reports time for each additional mile. It also displays avg mile and avg BPM. After reading the other reports, I pray mine doesn't malfunction. But...so far it's been perfect.
