 Nike Men's Hammer Watch #C0021-001 By: Nike Average Rating: 4.5 Total Reviews: 15 More Information Great watch rugged yet comfortable  On: 2008-04-07I have owned 2 other Nike watches and they have done me well. The industrial/rugged look of the Hammer watch was why I chose it. The watch is large but does not over power your wrist. Pros: Stylish, rugged, easy to use buttons, and the night light is decent Cons: Watch sometimes gets stuck under long selves, like some watches if you type while resting wrists on a surface might be uncomfortable. Overall I would recommend this watch to any one who wants a watch that will look good day to day or out on the trails. Now THIS is a man's watch!  On: 2008-02-19I dont know how to write that grunting sound Tim Allen makes on "Home Improvement"...but Im sure hed make it about this watch. This is a big honkin macho mans watch on steroids. Looks as if could last through a nuke blast. Big and brawny as it is, its still very comfortable...the wide band is made of some hi-tech rubbery stuff that feels great. Nice large display of time, day, and date. Watch face is protected by the angled bevel of the metal frame around it. This isnt for guys who need a Rolex to announce their net worth or those who want some high-style fashion statement out of Europe. This one is for telling time easily with a watch that looks like testosterone would if it were a watch. Nike.....who knew? Nike Men's Hammer Watch customer review On: 2008-01-18The Nike Hammer is well designed and finish is excellent. The controls are intuitive. I did not receive a manual with the watch, so there are still some aspects of the watch I have not discovered. The only negative for me is that the band is VERY wide, so it is great for working out and bike riding, and not so great for use with long sleeve shirts. Also the watch case is very thick, so keep in mind that it is awkward to wear with a sportcoat or suitcoat. I like the digital dial, very easy to read. The back light is bright and easy to use as well. For working out and casual wear this is a great watch. Great Watch On: 2007-12-27This watch is large in size as noted in some of the other reviews. However, this is one of the things that I really like about this watch. This will not be mistaken for a unisex watch as the size and stature is very masculine. All the features work as advertised and the display is actually easier to read than I expected. Also, after being able to compare several Nike watches in a local store, this one is by far the most stylish for men. The watch also is sized very nicely in terms of fit. Im very satisfied with my purchase both from a functional standpoint and visual standpoint. Great Watch On: 2007-12-26This watch is large in size as noted in some of the other reviews.

Cool Watch - w/ only a few shortcomings On: 2007-12-03Ive probably owned 5-6 Timex Ironman watches in the last 20 or so years. I always loved them becuase they were tough, and very practical. When my latest expedition broke its band, I thought I would try something else. I need a watch to keep my time in the pool and other gym activities, so I thought I would give the Nike Hammer a try. First of all, I know other people have said it, this watch is *huge*. I knew it was big, but was still somehow shocked. Saying this watch is big is like saying Angelina Jolie is "attractive". Just doesnt really hammer the point home. If you have small or frail wrists, it will probably look out of place. But thats fine - I am a very big, stocky guy - so I need a big watch... Well, as big as this watch is, it will barely fit on my wrist. And because of the design of the band, I doubt you can get a longer one (unlike a Timex watch, where there are usually a gazillion aftermarket bands that would work just fine). So I was kind of dissapointed in the band length.I am big, but Im not andre the giant big. My wrists are about 9.5 inches in diameter. Anyone with wrists much bigger than that, will definetly be out of luck. Other than that the watch is very awesome. Speaking about the band, it is nice that it is some type of polymer plastic, since I use this watch for my timing in the pool... fabric bands are no good, these polymer bands dry off in a quick second. I think it looks great, and the display is very large and easy to read. A nice touch, when you are in countdown mode, you can switch back to displaying the current time and a progress bar is displayed underneath the time. The bar shrinks in size as the time is counted down. Gives you a quick rough idea how much time is left in your routine. Overall, Im happy with it so far. Definetly has a cool unique look! Ive had several "cool watch!" comments in the first day. Awesome Nike Watch! On: 2007-08-24We were extremely impressed with the Nike watch we ordered. We like the big screen and the features such as the backlight, stop watch, etc. We plan to going scuba diving with this watch. We have received a lot of compliments on the watch from other people. Also, the seller provided fast shipping and the watch was just as described. Thanks! A great gift for the man in your life. On: 2007-07-23My husband LOVED this in the store- and I found it here MUCH cheaper- hooray for Amazon! He loves it, it looks great and its waterproof- so he can wear it swimming, etc. nice addition to my collection by: Anonymous On: 2007-06-03 My wife purchased this watch for me as a b/day present, i was at first a little baffled by the design, but it is a great item to have as a rugged everyday time piece.The numbers are big and large for those who cant see well and is water resistant just in case you forget it on while you go swimming.I give it 4 stars for its features,quality,design and price. Wow, that is a big watch or just "Wow!" by: Anonymous On: 2007-04-18 I usually get "Wow! That is a big watch" or just "Wow, nice watch." I say, yeah I bought it on the web and I had no idea how big it was going to be. This watch is big. Its surprisingly not very heavy at all. Very well put together. The band is some space age type super vulcanize rubber. Im only half joking. I dont know what the stuff is, but its very comfortable and super durable. The glass is amazingly scratch resistant. Ive looked at the face a couple of times after whacking it on a door or a computer or whatever and thought, "this is it, scratch city" and nothing. Not even the slightest scratch. Again, I think Nike is using alien technology - probably from the Vulcans. I dont use any of the features. There are a few Im sure. I just havent been interested in any of the features from day one. It was really strange, I just took the instruction booklet and hucked in a drawer. Thats all I have to say on this watch. Oh yeah, did i mention its huge. Ridiculously Big and Heavy  by: s.perkins@lanl.gov On: 2007-03-18 If you have wrists that are smaller than a typical tree trunk, then this might not be the watch for you - its a monster! Given that the electronics in this thing must weigh nothing, its obvious that Nike has packed the case with redundant chunks of metal to make it so heavy. Just wearing it for a day gives your arm a workout! However, if youre in the market for an eye-catching big digital watch that has a clear display with large numerals that shows all the basic information (time, seconds, date), thats fairly affordable then this might be the one for you. If you want a similar watch thats not so big, check out the Nike Blade watch - the styling is less dramatic, but it wont break your wrist to the same degree. Not what I expected  by: Anonymous On: 2007-02-12 This watch looks interesting and unique on a computer screen. When I actually got the item it was just too big for my liking. It is advertised as a sports watch but the size and weight of it make it an impractical sports watch. I returned it immediately. If youre not an above average sized person I dont recommend you purchase it. Very nice. On: 2006-11-02As far as appearence it is not your average watch, width of watch face and band is one and a half inches wide and has a bit of a bulky apperance. This makes it a bit uncomfortable to wear, but not enough to worry about. Functionality is great, large display is easy to read, stopwatch, timer, and alarm are all easy to use and work great,it even has a power save mode which Ive never seen in a watch before . It is a good, solid watch and worth buying if you like its unique style. First of all its big On: 2006-10-31This is my second Nike watch and I like it very much. Big bright display, buttons are easy to access, and the basic functionality is good. the curvature of the metal around the face will (hopefully) protect it from scratching. The band is OK once its on but a quick release strap would have been easier and probably longer lasting - my last nike watch with a rubber band eventually cracked. For the price Amazon charges its worthwhile but I wouldnt pay retail. Great Watch, Great Price by: Anonymous On: 2006-08-03 This watch is awesome. It has a very large, crisp display with a greenish-blue backlight, very easy to read in the day or at night. The watch displays the time in large numbers with the date below the time. The chrono is easy to operate and displays the time in 100ths of a second. The watch also has 2 countdown timers and an alarm. The band is wery wide with numerous notches so you can customize the fit close to your wrist size. The metal face contrasts nicely with the back band, giving the watch rugged good-looks. Even though the watch is large, it is well balanced and doesn feel clunky. great watch and great price On: 2006-07-08This was a gift, which the person loved, and I loved the price, $30.00 cheaper than everywhere else |
