I'm a watch enthusiast (or obsessive as my wife calls me, but let's not stray too far...) and before this model, I have never owned any watch by Nike.I have several Suunto and one Casio models that feature Altimeters and for some odd reason, I felt the need to add to my collection (DON'T tell my wife, PLEASE).It's lightweight and feels comfortable on my wrist--ALWAYS a plus if you ask me.I especially like the clasp on the rubber strap that has the Nike logo on it that helps to keep the band in place and not move.GREAT idea and I submit ALL manufactures of rubber-type bands adopt a similar style and F-A-S-T.
The so-called Zero-Drift technology that Nike claims allows for dramatically more accurate altitude readings when compared to similar products by Suunto, Casio and the like...well personally I haven't been able to see any additional accuracy one way or another.Go figure.
One thing I REALLY liked was the ease at which I was able to get it up and running.I just went through the nightmare of programming my Suunto T1 heart rate monitor model and after hours of attempting to decipher the sandscrit-like instructional booklet, it was nice to see a watch that the manufacturers actually put some time into designing, or more to the point, put some time into making it user-friendly.
So, in a nutshell, am I happy I bought it?Yup.I'd do it again, too.Hope this helps.
