Keep your training time on track as well as your fitness levels with the Nike Triax C6 digital watch and heart rate monitor (with included chest strap). Designed for the cardio exerciser, the Triax C6 features a calorie counter and an automated personal zone finder (automated 15-minute self test) that helps you to determine your target heart rate zones. The pulse mode displays heart rate, accumulated calories, current zone and accumulated exercise time, while the graph mode graphically displays heart rate over one-hour interval.
It features basic chronograph timing features (with two alarms and two time zones) and a data mode that recalls lap/split info, best lap and average lap. The watch case and co-molded polyurethane strap form a unique S-shaped design that curves comfortably around your wrist for an improved fit and quicker reading of the time. Other features include Nike Electrolite one-touch backlighting, water resistance to 50 meters (165 feet), and a battery hatch on watch and chest strap for easy battery replacement.
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.

no problem with the watch. the directions are easy to follow on the manual/instructional CD. the C6 is the only version of the Triax which counts calories- a great plus
the only complaint i have is that i couldn't get a heart rate reading when i wore the band over my under armour shirt
other then that- i'm very satisfied with the watch & price

It looks like this watch is discontinued now, which is too bad. I've owned mine for at least two years now. I've used it in spin classes, yoga, bike rides, and on hikes. I've used the watch itself as my only wristwatch for about a year and a half.
Pros:
* Calorie counter. Tells you how many calories you burned in your workout. It seems to be reasonably accurate.
* Reliable. It's never failed to get a signal. I've still never replaced the batteries.
* Simple. There isn't a whole lot to it, after you complete the initial set-up.
* Legible. Having looked at some other HRM watches, I can say that in comparison the C6 has a fantastic display.
* Great chest strap. It's low profile, and lays nice and smooth against my chest -- no uncomfortable plastic buckles or anything. It's also waterproof, I regularly rinse it out and hang it to dry after a workout. You don't have to unclip the monitor portion when washing, unlike a Polar that I recently looked at.
* Great value for the money. Again, compared to others I've looked at.
Cons:
* The light/reset button (press for backlight, hold to reset the interval timer) has always been *extremely* difficult to hold down long enough to reset. I don't know if all are like this. I'm a rock climber (i.e. strong hands) and it's still tricky for me to apply enough consistent pressure to reset the timer!
* The bottom edge of the black rubber separated from the sides of the watch after about a year. It hasn't gotten any worse, and isn't noticeable when the watch is on.
* You can't transfer full workout logs to your computer. I have no need of this, but maybe you do.

I originally got this watch back in 2005 after failing my Air Force PT Test. I worked out with it for quite some time but eventually needed to record workouts over a period of time, not just one at a time.
This very simple watch does a good job in several aspects. It will tailor your hear rate zones to how you feel or you can punch them in manually (the method I use now).
The only issue I've had is that the strap's battery runs out well before the watches. The strap takes a simple and inexpensive computer motherboard battery so finding a replacement is easy.
I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars, but I ended up with 4 simply because I've had this thing for ever, and it is still keeping track of my workouts; if only one at a time.
