I have used this watch for a few years now working in the outdoors. It has stood up to a fair amount of abuse and misuse and still looks great. The alarms are loud and the minimalist display is a rarity in the watch world it seems like. This is a great watch.

I bought the watch two years ago and have an older version that tends to add on a few extra feet since it never turns off and small barometric changes add elevation. The altimeter function is still pretty good for training purposes. I love the band on the watch and the bulkiness is not an issue. The watch is definitely water proof. I never took it off. Recently I changed the battery and in the process didnt notice the o-ring fell out. I took a bath and noticed the watch didnt work and moisture had gotten inside. I opened the back up and let it dry out. I went and found the o-ring and put the battery back in and it worked as well as ever. Not that many electronic products come back from the dead.

The Nike Oregon watch by Lance Armstrong is great. If you are into Jogging, Running or Cycling like I am you will love this watch. You will find underneath the watch Lance Armstrongs Signature. This watch has an Altimater that works really well. You can set this watch to shut off after so many hours to save batttery life. The Battery is easy to replace yourself and not expensive. The watch is Water Resistant to 100M so wearing it in the shower or swimming with it is no problem. I like the look of the watch and the gold colored face on it matches the live strong bracelet. It is a large watch to wear with long sleeves, but is very sharp looking. I recieved it on the day that Amamzon.com had promised. I really enjoy shopping with Amamzon.com and look forward to shopping with them again in the future. I hope this review has helped you in making your decision.

This watch is OK. Easy to read display. The altimeter is not that accurate. It is very big and clunky. The major drawback, after less than a year of use, water has already gotten in! All in all, you get what you pay for.

I got this one last year and so far I've been very satisfied with this watch.
This is a real men's watch.. pretty big and somewhat heavier than other sports watches.
Unlike other nike watches, it has a very subtle logo and simple display. (the reason why I bought it) has rugged feel yet very simple. Some people even asked me where they could buy it/
For a price about $100, it is definitely a good buy!

note: It seems like it will no longer available. it will be discontinued..I guess. hmmm

This watch offers a great variety of features including: seven alarms, storage space for 100 work out sessions, and an altimeter. Be aware that it does not have some of the features found on the other high end Oregon series watches (barometer, digital compass, etc.). Many customers have complained about battery life, I have had the watch for more than six months and have yet to have any issues. As another reviewer mentioned, it is rather bulky. My cuffs will not close around it if I am wearing a long sleeve shirt.

fantastic item with accurate data from its features, hardy casing and strap. slightly bulkier than you may think it is, great as a gift idea for a lance fan and at a great price.well presented by nike in a box too.

I've had this watch for a few weeks now and I have to say that it is very impressive. I was skeptical of Nike watches but I've been proven wrong. The band is very comfortable, the buttons are easy to use and the watch is very easy to navigate and use settings. It's also been very durable and great looking. The only bad thing is that it sits a bit high on the wrist. All in all, I love it!

I own several Nike oregons (3 at last count), so it's no surprise that I like this watch. For anyone interested, you'll be hard pressed to find a more solid time piece. However, be warned that it is big. Big enough to keep a button-down shirt sleeve from closing. IMHO this makes the watch a bit too big for exercise duty. As an outdoors watch (for hiking, camping and the like) it is the perfect size. The problem there is that it is missing a couple of features found in most watches of this type (altimeter, thermometer and barometer), including Nike's own Oregon WA9002, which is virtually identical to this model. Still the watch is an awesome piece, which could have been better.

My only big gripe was with Amazon. The first watch they shipped was perfect, except that it had a dead battery. I called had them detail the problem and replace the watch. The second watch they send Also had a dead battery (I guess they don't check these notes at the warehouse). when I asked about having that one replaced the person at the other end said that there must be something systemically wrong with this model and they they were not going to continue sending out new watches. instead they would refund my money and that I should return the watch. I told them that I liked the watch and that if they were too busy to check for a simple battery that I would walk a block over to best buy buy the battery and replace it myself. I did exactly that, Amazon refunded me the cost of the battery and the watch has been perfect ever since.

One of the best watchs ive bought this year ... get it its great plus the power save option is great i have alot of watchs so when i dont wear it , the display cuts off ... but over all great buy .. Get one asap
