Nike Oregon Alti Compass Watch Manual
Using Zero Drift Technology, this watch determines whether a barometric pressure change is caused by an altitude change or a weather system. In turn, this lets you accurately track your ascent/descent rate, current altitude, maximum altitude, and accumulated altitude.

Never again will a band move because it pops out of the band holder. 3. Being able to reset back to the time mode by holding the mode button down no matter where you are in the sequence of functions - another nice innovation by Nike. 4. The band - this is a very comfortable, soft rubber band that wears easily on the wrist all day long. Cons: 1. Stopwatch takes a relatively long button press to reset 2. This watch is poorly made and simply isn't durable 3. Case is easily scratched Overall I really love the styling and functions of this watch. HOWEVER, the buttons on my first Nike Lance 4 became screwed up after about four months of wear. The second Nike Lance 4 started to reset itself after about three months of wear. Two chances are all you get - I switched back to Casio for reliability! Please try again later. From the United StatesWhen you first strap the watch onto your wrist, it's cold and feels like you're wearing a doorknob. However, after a couple minutes, the metal and rubber warm up and it becomes very comfortable. In fact, it feels so comfortable that when you take it off at the end of the day, you miss it. The oversize buckle, and strap-end lock-down, are smart ideas and even work with gloves. Another thing that works well is the compass, which you can set for true north or calibrate to the magnetic declination for your location. (During the warm months here in New Hampshire, the heavy leaf canopy blocks GPS signals, and I don't always carry a compass backup.) The altimeter appears to be accurate after calibrating it with a known elevation, but it needs recalibration whenever you can do it. A nice feature is the battery saver, settable to three different periods of inactivity before the screen goes blank. Everything else continues to work during that time. Probably what I like most about the watch are the control buttons. VERY tactile and functional, even with gloves.Please try again later. Please try again later. Paul E. Harvey 2.
Unfortunately, it dropped off my bathroom sink the other day and fell to our tile floor.well now it's sporting a nice gouge where it should be beveled. As for the watch itself, I love it. It does have rather short battery life, but with all that's running inside this thing, that can be expected.Please try again later. Please try again later. Working Stiff 2.0 out of 5 stars And I have to say, my disappointment began within 2 minutes of opening the shipping box. Here are the three major ways this watch (and Nike itself) have failed me: 1) This is a complicated, multi-function instrument. But if you're expecting a detailed instruction manual, forget it. What you get is an elaborate pictograph that illustrates which buttons to push. It skims over the setup procedure and many of the most important functions, and omits many features entirely. 2) Relative to the above complaint, I contacted Nike customer service about the setup. The instructions say you can select a 60-, 10- or 2-second sampling rate of the barometric pressure in order to determine altitude. What it fails to mention is what the ramifications are for choosing one over the other. Is one more accurate. Does one use more battery power. We'll apparently never know, because Nike's customer service failed to answer the question. While they admitted that they had received several complaints about the manual -- and were considering writing a new one -- they simply sidestepped my question about the altimeter function in their email reply. 3) And then there's the performance of the watch itself. In most cases it's impressive -- that is, in every case except the one for which I purchased it: the altimeter. On my group rides, there are always at least three other people with altimeters. A post-ride comparison of altimeter results always puts their readings within 3 percent of each other. The results from the Nike are at least 20 percent off. That means the altimeter results are not to be trusted.
While the watch is attractive (that's why it earned 2 stars instead of just one) and has an excellent band, it simply doesn't give me the accurate altimeter results I need. And since the altimeter results are so far off, I can only assume that its built-in weather sensor (also based on barometric pressure) is hugely flawed, too. With the manual being as light on information as it is, with Nike's customer service either unwilling or unable to shed any light on the watch's usage and with the flawed performance of the altimeter function, I can only say that this watch represents a major disappointment. It may meet Nike's standards for fashion, but it fails my standards for performance.Please try again later. Please try again later.

Ted 3.0 out of 5 stars I've had this watch for about 4 weeks and the titatium face looks like I've had it about 15 years.and no, this is not from any kind of extraordinary circumstances. I just wear it to work at a normal job every day and it sees the regular wear and tear that any watch would see. Yet the titatium face shows scratches, gouges, abrasions, etc. Unfortunately, it dropped off my bathroom sink the other day and fell to our tile floor.well now it's sporting a nice gouge where it should be beveled. As for the watch itself, I love it. It does have rather short battery life, but with all that's running inside this thing, that can be expected.Please try again later. Please try again later. M. Myers 3.0 out of 5 stars I will admit that I don't use all the function(seriously, who needs all those alarms?).
The altimeter is pretty useless, as it's inaccurate AND you need to enter the exact elevation of your starting location for the watch to be useful. Who really knows the elevation of their home. The case, even though it's titanium, is terribly fragile. I had mine for six weeks, worn as a normal watch(at my inside job), and the case was scratched and dinged as if it was 10 years old. Nike replaced the case for me after 6 months, at which time I needed a new battery. Battery life is horrible on this thing. Expect to spend 20 bucks a year sending it back for replacement. I forgot to mention som4ething. When I sent the watch back after having it for six months, the band had broken. The rubber tore where it attached to the case---and that was simply from taking the watch off. No bike crashes, no playing sports. Just removing it. At that time, the yellow in the engraved Lance Armstrong signature on the case back had also come off. As a matter of fact, it actually stuck to my wrist. Not a huge deal, but pretty poor build quality. I have a Lance Race watch which is my daily wear watch. I put the Lance 4 on ONLY when I'm riding my bike. It's delicate.Please try again later. Please try again later. Chris in St. Pete 4.0 out of 5 stars Works as described but you will need some time to understand how to use all of its functions. Once you do that it is a very useful tool. The product documentation is a bit light on content but thankfully the watch is fairly intuitive to set up. The barometer does seem to drift a bit more than the Suunto Advizor that I own. However, I havent done a side by side comparison so take that with a grain of salt. This watch is a direct competitor to the Advizor and fits the bill very well. The only feature this watch lacks in comparison to the Advizor is the Heart Rate Monitor. I got the impression that the Nike Lance 4 is a bit less functional overall than the Suunto product but that really hasnt been the case in my experience. 350c69d7ab
