Pros: Overall the watch is very sturdy and can take a hit. I've used it for running, dirtbike riding, weight training. The watch has taken some serious licks, been through mud, snow, and water yet still continues to keep tickin'. The compass needs to recalibrated every once in a while but is reasonably accurate.

Cons: The altimeter has never properly functioned even after repeated calibrations at sea level. The same goes for the temperature reading (and the barometer for that matter), not even close. This is a total disappointment and basically makes this watch just that, a plain ol' watch.

Verdict: I'm going to attempt to contact Nike for a replacement watch since this may just be a lemon. Can't see spending so much on a watch to have a majority of its features useless right out of the box.
