This is my first heart rate monitor and it does exactly what I expected it to do. The actual monitor is a band that fits right under your bra and is made out of rubber like material and attaches with an adjustable webbed fabric with key lock type fitting. I read in another review that someone broke this fitting when taking it off–that would take some determination as it isn’t a flimsy fitting. The watch is masculine but it has a large enough face that it is easy to read even without your glasses. The watch controls are simple and easy to master once it is all set up. To set it up-YES you have to read the directions but they were well written. I chose the Nike heart rate monitor because it is about half the price of some other well know monitors and it works well. I gave it four stars simply because I’m not thrilled about how it looks. I use mine mostly for bicycling and spinning to make my workout more efficient.

Gave this a try based on buyer feedback. After finding out that Polar products need to be returned to the company, I ruled that brand out completely. (Polar monitors are good but that’s way too much hassle for me). Tried Nike and after a month of use I am very pleased.

The watch and chest belt are great, both are comfortable and work as advertised. This set up has everything you need.
One nice to have feature would be to have your heart rate display in ‘Watch’ mode, so you can see the time as well as your heart rate. It shows your heart rate when in stop watch mode, but not when the clock is showing. No big deal, but something that would be helpful.

Everything works great. Only slight problem I found is that heart rate monitor isn’t accurate if the chest band is not moist enough in beginning of workout. I just wipe the band with water in beginning to fix that problem.

I have used my Nike Triax C5 heart rate monitor a couple of times. Easy to set up. The numbers on the watch are easier to read than my old one. The strap is comfortable and stays in place. The only negative for me is the instructions for setting the heart rate doesn’t work for me (but the instructions said it may not work for everyone). I just plan to reset with other instructions. Glad I bought it!
