Customer Review: Good monitor but less features
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
Great HR monitor, easy to use and program. However, it DOES NOT count accumulated calories as stated, which is strange for a higher end model to have less features than it's less expensive (c6) counterparts. Overall good purchase but if you are training to lose weight, a calorie counter estimate would be a good feature to use.Customer Review: Nike Triax C8

The functions are ok, but the Heart Rate went crazy within less then a month of use. I am very disappointed with this product. I expected a more quality product from Nike.Customer Review: Watch was not water resistant!
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
My Triax C8 lasted less than 3 months. I do triathlons and relied on the manual which states, "Designed for underwater performance to a depth of 165 ft. Attention: Water damage will occur if watch buttons are pressed underwater." Unfortunately I had water damage just from wearing the watch in the pool even though I never pressed buttons underwater. The watch was not water tight and started to sometimes freeze up after swimming with it on, eventually failing altogether. In addition the HRM functionality didn't work great. I've since switched to a Polar HRM and it provides more consistent HRM performance. The Triax C8 chest strap transmitter sometimes sends numbers that were clearly much too high, even after getting good and sweaty, and doesn't start sending good data at quickly as the Polar. I like a lot of Nike products, and liked the form factor of the Triax C8. However, I was extremely dissapointed with its performance and would not buy one again or recommend it.Customer Review: Poor performing option
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
I received the Nike Triax C8 as a gift one year ago to replace a lost Polar S150 so I have a basis for comparison. I found the Nike watch to be bulky and heavy. It also had poor pickup from the chest monitor. I could not walk or run without the watch losing contact with the monitor and missing results. When using it on a road bike or stationary bike I would mount the watch on the handlebar and also found it would lose contact with the transmitter. I cannot recommend this product and grade it as poor.Customer Review: Didn't Last Two Weeks

The heart rate monitor quit functioning after two weeks of almost daily use. I changed the batteries in the transmitter to see if that was the cause...no luck.
