Great for the Price, September 8, 2007
This review is from: Nike Men's WA0017-001 Lance 3 Titanium Multi-Function Watch (Watch)
I've had the watch for several years, I only paid about $100 on Ebay and I feel it was a good value. If you read other reviews on this watch and it's variants in the Nike line it does some things well and is much cheaper than it's competitors.
PRO's
Price - Orig $299, my price $108 with shipping.
Looks - I've had unsolicited comments that people liked the way it looked.
Size - much smaller than competitors, looks better on my wrist.
Clasp - I really like the push button clasp, but it did loosen up eventually.
Functions - not perfect, but no watch takes good temps on your wrist, Alt/Barometer worked well for a consumer product as did the Compass, really used the 4 different alarms.
CON's
Wrist band - a real pain to originally remove links to size it to my wrist, easy to damage the plastic frame on the watch where the pins go in.
Battery replacement - had to remove the band (see above) to get to the screws to remove the back cover, where 2 springs shot out and had to figure where they came from. I did two battery replacements over 2 years before water finally got in and killed the watch while swimming. (Actually it still works for time, everything else is not functional.)
UPDATE - the dreaded battery change leak killed the watch. I have since upgraded to a Casio Pathfinder.

Not the US version, September 14, 2007
This review is from: Nike Men's WA0017-001 Lance 3 Titanium Multi-Function Watch (Watch)
Just bought this from Amazon. This item is from Taiwan as the box has a price tag in Chinese on the outside with NT$12900. The instructions were also all in Chinese. The display was flashing with low battery warning.
So I had to replace the battery on day 1 and also had a few links removed to fit my wrist. Guy at the watch shop said it had a defective spring bar. The deployant clasp is a nice feature but the links pinch a bit and the outside edges of the titanium links are sharp. So I will be taking this off before using my laptop or anything else that could get scratched.
Color is actually darker than in the picture on the detail page. Decent watch for the money.
