I’m looking for a new HRM and leaning towards Nike. I’m tired of Polar and my 120 gave out. The directions suck for Polar and the Nike manual looked much easier. Need HR and lap chrono features and that’s it. Any opinions would be great.
I had the c10 and the strap battery died very often, and eventually just stopped working. I dont know if that’s common or not. FWIW, i got a polar rs100 and it works like a charm.
I have a Nike triax C8 HRM I got about a year and a half ago. It is a good HRM with 50 lap chrono and a min/max HR feature. It has easy operation and nice big display at an angle which I really like. The one big exception is that after a few months mine developed a leak (during a pool workout). I sent it back and Nike sent a new one (no problem there). After about 12 months the new one has started falling apart with the band which surrounds the face coming apart. It is on it’s last legs. Granted, I often used it as my day to day watch and may have worn it in the pool too often, but I would think it should be able to withstand that. In summary, a good HRM, as long as you only use it for that purpose. Luckily I did not pay anything for it as we received an extra gift voucher for another faulty Nike product (another story). I was thinking of buying a Polar as replacement so is there any reason you do not like them besides the manual?
