Sports reviews of Nike Triax C8 Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Anthracite / Mesa Orange)

Customer Review: I loved it, but not water resistant as advertised
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars

I bought this watch looking for a heart rate monitor that was water resistant, simply for swimming pool usage.

If you read the manual on page 17 under Specifications, its says:
"
...
WATCH
Water Resistant up to 50 Meters:
Designed for underwater performance to
a depth of 165 feet (50m).
Attention:
Water damage will occur if watch buttons
are pressed while underwater!
...
HEART RATE MONITOR
Water Resistant up to 30 Meters:
....
"

If that is not supposed to be water resistant, then what is?

I have tried two Triax C8 watches already, the first, I returned it after water got into it while taking a shower.
The second watch that I received after the exchange passed the 'shower test'. However, didn't pass the 'swimming pool test'.

If you don't want a water resistant watch (even though it is adverstised as such) but simply want the heart rate monitor, then this is a great watch. It has a few nice features like interval training, up to 50 lap memory and the heart rate monitor seems to be accurate and it is comfortable to wear.

Description of Nike Triax C8 Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Anthracite / Mesa Orange)

Coach Roy Benson helped us design this heart rate monitor for runners based on a simple idea. When you're running, you should think about running, not your watch. So the Triax C8 requires less button pushing and has a more readable display.Continuous heart rate display. A runners chronograph (stopwatch). Shows lap and split (total) time. Introducing the Benson button. While running, you can stay in RUN mode, and press this button to see other views. Lap and split times, or heart rate. One heart rate zone. You select a high and a low heart rate. The watch beeps outside the zone, and at the end of a run, tells you how long you were able to stay in the zone. After a workout, you can review your lap times for up to 50 laps, average heart rate, and see how long you spent in your heart rate zone. Features a 2 segment interval timer. Great for a walk/run marathon, or for doing speed work with recovery sessions. Tells the time, date, and has one alarm. Safe in a swimming pool. The watch and the chest strap both have a battery hatch, so you can change the battery yourself.
