Other features include Nike Electrolite one-touch backlighting, water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet) and a scratch-resistant mineral glass crystal. About Nike
Nike watches are built to endure extreme outdoor conditions without missing a beat and they adhere to the company's founding mission statement: to bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world. And as Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman would add--if you have a body, you're an athlete. Ever since the fateful day in 1971 when University of Oregon track coach Bowerman poured rubber into his wife's waffle iron, technological innovation has been the spark that lights Nike's fire. The Waffle outsole transformed the running world and soon after Nike Air evolved Nike's revolutionary impact on sports. Beyond shoes--from watches and eyewear to carry gear and even socks--Nike is committed to giving athletes of every make, model and body style, who compete and recreate in ways never before imagined, the very best performance product. Here are just a few important dates in Nike's journey: - American record-holder Steve Prefontaine becomes the first major track athlete to wear Nike brand shoes in 1973.
- At the 1976 Olympic Trials, Nike shoes are seen in abundance for the first time--worn by young, rising stars in both middle- and long-distance events.
- The first athlete to win an Olympic medal wearing Nike shoes is British runner, Steve Ovett in the 1980 Moscow Games
- The Just Do It advertising campaign began in 1988, and is now ensconced in the Americana exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum.

 Best In Class July 23, 2007
I have used this watch in the outdoors several times now it works great. Just like any other Alti-Compass watch once you know how to calibrate the different features it's simple to use.I compared it to the Highgear Axis and Summit and the Nike had more features and a better look and feel to it. I have taken it hiking and it keeps very accurate readings. Once you get past the difficult user manual you are good to go.
Good Entry-Level Altimeter/Compass Watch January 25, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
PERSPECTIVE: An endurance runner & cyclist that was looking for an inexpensive (< $200) compass & altimeter watch that is durable, accurate, fashionable, and has the appropriate features for altimeter training in my sports. When shopping for this watch, I also considered the Suunto Vector.
PROS:
+Durable Case: Hardened aluminum and mineral glass crystal take abuse well. (Vector has a plastic case and plastic crystal.)
+Excellent band: Very durable and good ergonomics. The band keeper is a particularly nice feature.
+Chronograph stores up to 50 laps in any number of individual runs. (Vector only stores one lap.)
+Compass feature is convenient and accurate.
+Chronograph stores the altitude of the end of each lap. (Useful for recording bottoms and tops of hills.)
+Weather feature shows the temperature, barometric pressure, and 12-hour trend graph. Nicely done.
+Timer feature has graphical representation of each segment (using the compass arrow LCD layer).
+Seven alarms are useful and more than most people need.
+Watch mode shows day and date.
+Relatively inexpensive for an instrument with these features. (If I bash it against a rock by accident, the loss is not that great.)
+Altimeter feature shows a graph of the relative altitudes over the last two hours.
CONS:
-Altimeter accuracy is questionable, even when using it for relative measurement. For example, altitude on a calm day will vary by up to 20 feet over an hour at the same location (for example, at the beginning and end of a run).
-Chronograph feature does not record the accumulated and maximum altitude on a per-run basis. The watch stores these values globally, so you need to remember to zero it out before the workout and check it (and remember it) right after your workout.
-Chronograph feature has a fixed sampling interval for the altitude (2.5 minutes). This might be acceptable for running, but is not acceptable for skiing or cycling. An adjustable sampling interval when using the chronograph would be preferred. The global altimeter function can adjust the sampling interval, but to utilize an interval other than 2.5 min, you must start the chronograph, then change modes to the altimeter and keep it there. When you want to check your time, or record a lap, you need to switch between the altimeter and chronograph functions. This is annoying.
-No hourly chime available.
-Chronograph mode shows either lap time OR total time. Not a big deal, but Nike could have shown a combination of both as one of the selectable display options.
-The documentation accompanying this watch lacks detail. It should include more details on altimeter function (such as the algorithm used), at a minimum. I find myself reverse-engineering the operation of the altimeter to help myself understand it. This should not be necessary.

I purchased the watch for durability reasons, and it has provided great service. It is large, but I would recomend it to anyone who is an outdoor enthusiest and finds that they break many watches.
 Cool Watch, doesn't live up to claims January 4, 2007

Altimeter is not accurate. This algorithem to tell the difference between barometric and altitude pressure differences is just not possible. This watch can be off by as much as 600-700 feet after a front comes though. Otherwise is a pretty good watch.
 doesn't measure up to Suunto November 8, 2006
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I've put this watch, and the Suunto vector, through their paces in expedition kayaking. The Suunto's electronics are much better. Here's some more comments:
1. The Nike watch is much heavier. I don't have the specs, but if you're buying it for running/jogging, don't.
2. The Nike altimeter is not nearly as accurate, it jumps around much more than the Suunto's.
3. The Nike's face, being glass, is more scratch resistant.
4. The Nike's strap is bombproof, whereas the Suunto's failed me after 2 years.
regards,
Greg
