chelle Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 I just replaced the battery, reset the time and date and can't get the display to stop blinking. It is really annoying. Anyone know how to make it stop? I didn't keep the instructions and the Nike website sucks bigtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelle Posted November 11, 2003 Author Share Posted November 11, 2003 Thanks. Went to try that and noticed it stopped on it's own. Weird. It was blinking for at least 25 minutes... But it's all good now I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 We are talking Nike here. (Gosh, they make watches now?). I bet the blinking is a marketing scam to get people to buy a new Nike watch. You know, like how their shoes wear out and they expect you to buy a new pair of the same brand name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman_Clyde Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 My Nike watch still works, but is no longer functionally usable because the watchband has broken on me twice now. Actually, the housing has fractured at the location of one of the watchband pin holes, rendering the entire unit un-wearable. I sent it to the company and they fixed it at a cost close to a whole new watch, taking two months, then it broke again about 3 months later. I'm thinking I'll get a Suunto.

Figger_Eight Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 The Nike altimeter watches, I think, are the best ones out there. I used to have a Casio, but the Nike is much better. The Suuntos are ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dig my Avocet - reliable, relatively small. My Suunto was the size of a dinner plate, and broke (go to an REI-Outlet sale and count the number of broken Vectors - I was at one that had 20!)

lemon Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 nike makes good runnign watches... i have used them for 8 years. they are light and ergonomic, but hey cost too much... you can get them discounted tho. Agree I have used the same Nike watch for about three years now of 20-30 miles per week and had the battery replaced once. Also agree on the price, though I do most of my high-end shopping via the Exchange (PX for you Army wimps). Prices much better, for instance, I bought my Suunto Vector there for $120 brand new, and I've seen the timex gps thingy for $145 - more than 100 bucks cheaper than anywhere else.

Alpine_Tom Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 I looked at them when they came out with the Lance Armstrong version, but the altimeter only went to 10,000 feet. I don't know if that's changed, I just looked at the nike website to try and figure it out, but had no luck. (You can search for "watch" but not "altimeter", and none of the 25 watches that showed up in the "watch" search had an altimeter function.) They were much smaller than my Casio altimeter watch (which is about the size of a baseball.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
