Customer Reviews

Here's what customers are saying about the Nike C8 heart monitor watch:

...Great training watch. Easy to read, easy to operate during a run and dead easy to recall data. Measures average heart rate per split and you can set the view to emphasise either time or HR....

...This is a great watch & HRM to help motivate my running. It's easy to set up and even easier to see while I'm running. If only it would give me my max heart rate (rather than the average) it would be almost perfect...

...Does everything I could ask for as a HRM, I couldn't see the need for any higher spec so bought this and it still exceeds my needs! The 'S' shape/layout strap design makes it much easier (in my opinion) to glance at your readings without interrupting your stride. I bought mine online from America but got stung on import tax, still saved a few quid though!...
