4.0 out of 5 stars
Pros (great watch) and Cons (huge), December 22, 2008
This review is from: Nike Men's Watch WR0140-001 (Watch)
PRO:
I really like these 'swoosh' shaped watches with huge numbers for running. This hits that perfectly - you could read the numbers from across the room.
The interval workout feature is very nice and something not found on many digital sport watches.
CON:
In day to day operation I miss having more than 2 alarms (old IronMan had a bunch 5, 10 something like that) and more importantly a countdown timer.
The bigger problem is the size/band setup. This watch is large (5cm diagonally across the face). If you have say marathon runner wrists I'd measure first and see how well it is going to fit. The face size isn't the only problem. Because of the non-replaceable ridged band (that doesn't curve as tightly as fabric would) the watch fits even bigger than it actually is.
As a running watch having it slide around a little bit isn't the end of the world. Sadly I could never wear it all day. On the plus side this makes the lack of alarms less of a problem.
CONCLUSION:
Bottom line if you've got the wrist for it (~ >18cm D) buy it. But if you are female or a life long distance runner you likely don't have the wrist for it.

4.0 out of 5 stars
An upgrade from timex OVA, June 19, 2009
This review is from: Nike Men's Watch WR0140-001 (Watch)
I had my Timex for about 2.5 years when the band broke. It really annoys me that you have to send it to some repair center to have it replaced for something as insignifigant as a band. Unfortunately this watch will be the same issue one day, the band however feels much more substantial than timex did.
The wrist size needs to be correct, it fits my wrist right up to the next to the next to last opening and I consider my wrist to be slightly less than average sized for a man.
The watch itself is fantastic the numbers truly can be seen from across the room. The capabilities of the watch are as good as timex, with the exception of the 5-10 alarms, only 2 for this watch, but frankly it is one more than I need. I like a large watch and this is quite large on my wrist, it has a substantial feel to it weight wise, not light and "plasticky" like timex. The colors work better for me too, timex has some wacked out color schemes for their watches.
I recommend this watch as an upgrade from timex, but be sure you get the correct size, the super is for medium to large wristed men, or women with a large to very large wrist.

5.0 out of 5 stars
I like so much this watch, March 30, 2009
This review is from: Nike Men's Watch WR0140-001 (Watch)
I was looking for a watch that was easy to operate. You can set two different times zones and get two alarms in each time zone. For running, you have the PACE function which is great for setting target times. Looks great on your wrist and comfortable, but you need to know about the sizes (Super vs, Regular), is hard to find a good information about it, i've got a Super size watch, so, if you are a man with average size buy Super if you are a woman buys Regular size.
