Nike Women's R0075-199 Imara Run Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I actually don't use this for running (I use a GPS watch), but I can't imagine life without a digital watch and I wanted something relatively feminine.This fit the bill nicely in that way.(Sorry, but putting pink highlights on a what looks like a smaller version of my boyfriend's watch doesn't make a watch feminine in my book.)

It is pretty, and has a nice shape I imagine most women would appreciate.It goes well with my regular professional attire, though I'd certainly find a different watch for a black-tie affair.

Unfortunately, it's a little too pretty - the mirrored dial color makes the face too reflective so I have to look at it more directly than my last watch.Also, the alarm is a bit quieter than I'm used to, but it's acceptable.The night light (indiglo) is excellent, of course.

Also, I don't want to see the title of what I'm switching to when I hit mode.For example, when I hit the mode button to switch from chrono back to the time, I don't want/need the screen to say "intr", "data", "alarm", "time" and then have to wait for the display to switch from "time" to the actual time.I can tell when I'm back on time because it's, well, telling me the time (and day/date).Sure, it's just a couple of seconds, but it's annoying and wastes my time.

Other than that, here's just a head's up: it freaked me out a little when I didn't see a regular count-down timer, but I soon realized that the interval function can work as a count-down timer.I just have to turn it off so it doesn't keep automatically repeating.(Of course, for intervals, this would be perfect.)

One very nice point: the watch battery is *very* accessible; one can change the battery with a coin to open the battery cover instead of needing those tiny screwdrivers.

A neutral point, and I guess I'll see the value of this after I need to replace the battery: the watch has a "sleep" mode which can turn off the display after no button is pressed for a certain number of hours.I suppose this will save battery life, but I've never had a complaint with battery life on a digital watch... yet.

All in all, I'm happy with this watch and am seriously considering purchasing another one in a different color.

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.
