Just a little different, January 27, 2009
This review is from: Nike Womens Triax Mia Watch (Sports)
This watch was a replacement for my wife's dead Timex. I was drawn to the unusual appearance -- she was initially suspicious of the "twisted" face. Now that she's had it for a while, she's come to love the very large, very clear display. The rubber bracelet is comfortable for her as well. She's only splash-tested its water resistance with no adverse results. She likes that the display is customizable and that it can be set to shut off the display after some length of time. That said, its timer and countdown features are not intuitive and took a little study to become comfortable (she is, incidentally a Phd scientist...).

Looks and works good, but not a durable watch, February 20, 2009
This review is from: Nike Womens Triax Mia Watch (Sports)
I purchased this watch from another website, and she was really happy with it. However, after only a year the battery is dead. Seems to be a chronic issue with these watches. In replacing the battery, I turned the battery cover too far resulting in damage to the soft aluminum case of the watch. I was able to replace the cover, but I am positive that the watch is no longer waterproof. We will have to keep an eye on it.
Speaking of the aluminum case, The watch looks like it has survived a war from all the dings and scratches in it.
If this watch survives another year, there will be no battery replacement; it will go to the trash bin.
P.S. to replace the battery, simply turn the battery cover on the back of the watch ONE QUARTER TURN ONLY. The cover did not pop open for me, so I kept turning, thinking it needed to go further, or that it might unscrew off the case. Well, it kept turning, and kept turning, and kept turning. After prying the cover off, I realized that I had forced the blades of the stainless steel cover through the grooves in the aluminum case. Trust me, it did not take that much effort to force it. Lovely. Somehow the cover seems to close somewhat snugly, but it is not a tight fit. It is a horrible design if you ask me. They could have printed an "open" and "close" on the cover/case if they wanted to.

This watch fits comfortable on your wrist especially for small wrists; also like the fact it has no buttons that can get caught in clothing etc.Easy to operate and read on the run. Have brought another one for a friend as a xmas present.
