'NOT AS GOOD AS THE GEL KAYANO'
Strengths:
Great stability and motion control
Weaknesses:
Too narrow for this fella's wide feet
Overall:
Good but for the money being spent, I'd always plump for the Asics GK.

Nike Triax CV10

'I WOULD GIVE THIS WATCH A WIDE BERTH'
Strengths:
Good basic running watch functionality such as good display and controls for lap timing etc.
Weaknesses:
The battery life is so low as to render the watch almost useless. The links between the components are unreliable and frequently cut out. The speed measuring is sometimes wildly inaccurate even on the rare occasions when all components appear to be working together correctly.
Overall:
I have returned the watch to Nike for repair. They offer no receipt or reference number you can use to trace the item - I've sent it back purely on trust. If and when I get it back and the above defects are corrected, I shall post another review. Otherwise, give this watch a wide berth.

'BRILLIANT SHOE'
Strengths:
Extremely light, great support and cushioning.
Weaknesses:
It costs too much, but I suppose you get what you pay for.
Overall:
Brilliant shoe - far an away the most comfortable ever. I thought the 2100s were good!
