Product Description
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.

5 out of 5 stars Nike Triax C8 Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Blue / Black)   September 12, 2009

Excellent product. This watch has the best heart rate signal that there is - connects instantly with any of the machines at the gym. I swim with it and shower and have had no problems whatsoever. Highly recommended


5 out of 5 stars Good way to Keep the Beat   September 6, 2009

I've owned a polar heartrate monitor before and definitely didn't get the satisfaction that I have with this little beauty. Watch is very comfortable and easy to read. Transmitter is pretty comfortable too! Great HR monitor for a reasonable price!


1 out of 5 stars Watch was not water resistant!   July 31, 2009

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.


1 out of 5 stars Didn't Last Two Weeks   June 2, 2009

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.


4 out of 5 stars C8 is an "8"   April 1, 2009

Great runners watch. I've had none of the problems with the chest band that everyone complans about. Just be careful when you take it off I suppose is all you need to be aware of. This until doesnt count calories burned which I wished it did. i know the C6 does, but it would be nice if this one did too. programming is a little tedious but once you figure it out, its not a big deal.
