Great looking, bad design

On: 2009-08-16

I bought this watch about 8 months ago; it looks great and you can move the watch around the opposite way on your wrist so it looks like a wristband, looks cool I think. Very comfortable too. The time/date setting of the watch isnt hard but not very easy either; the stopwatch is not as user friendly as an iron-man. Actually none of the functions are user friendly like an iron man. The worst thing to me, is that the leather watchband starts to stink after a month or so. A really weird almost skunk-like smell. I never showered with it on so the smell was just from normal wear. If you wipe the leather down with windex or some kind of cleaner it helps the smell but it wont go away totally. Somebody actually stole mine from a gym recently, dont know who would take a used stinky watch but it does look cool.

Looks good but very difficult to use

This watch looks pretty cool (although id recommend changing the strap) but it has had no thought whatsover put into the functions and their practical everday use.

WHY ITS BAD

**To actually set the time you have to hold the light button down until the digits reset?! Just think whats gonna happen if youre fumbling around in the dark or you accidentally trap it on something for more than 10 seconds.
**There is NO DAY!!!! The date, time are displayed but not if its monday or tuesday etc so if youre like me and have no concept of time or work a job that just rolls on day after day u are screwed.
**Basic user interface is terrible! Using the stopwatch is awkward as it takes 3 buttons to start, stop & reset (which is also time consuming as you have to hold the light down just like set the time). Theres an alarm as well but after 6 months i got no clue how that works!
**The watch band rotted away after two months. That wasnt so bad for me as i replaced it with something much better as i originally intended but thats the sort of build quality were looking at`here.
**The face is highly polished and scratches easy. Personally i dont mind it scratching as i prefer that used look but some may object.

This watch really doesnt have any worthwhile features and just looks good but works like a cheap-o. Expect it to tell the time (but not the day) and maybe act as a stopwatch if you can be bothered.
im disappointed as i expected better from Nike.

GREAT WATCH!

Unbelievable Watch! I have them in both brown and black straps. I get at least one comment per day on how cool and nice my watch is!

This watch will be on my wrist for a long time to come.

Good quality, nice runners features... but it is bigger than I thought it was. I am getting acquainted to it. Sure I will.
