Interface changes from previous versions
I have used Nike watches for all of my run timing for many years. I have been very happy with the previous versions that I’ve had except for one thing - they are designed so that you can’t really replace the battery on your own. That means every time I need a new battery I have to go to the Fast Fix place in the mall and pay a third of the price of the watch just to get a new battery put in.

So when I saw the New Nike Triax Speed 300 on the web site with the feature that it had a battery compartment for easy replacement, I was sold. However, now that I’ve had the watch for a while, I am disappointed in a number of the other changes that they made in how it operates -to the point that I am thinking about pulling my old watch out of the drawer and heading for the mall.

Changes I don’t like:

- The light for the dial. In my previous version, you could press and hold the light button and then any subsequent buttons of any kind that you pushed would cause the light to come on. That’s great for when I am running in the dark. Every time I took an interval, the dial would light up and I could see the time. The new Triax dropped that feature. Now every time you want to light it up you have to hit the light button. So that means multiple button presses each time I want to take an interval in the dark.

- The old watch had a way to set it so every button push would cause an audible beep. That’s a nice feature so that you are sure you hit the lap button, etc. The new one has that as well, but for some strange reason they tied that to the feature that has the watch beep every hour. I don’t want to have the watch beep at the top of the hour as that is way to Geeky for me, but there is no choice.

- For the data saving part of the new watch they eliminated recording the date and time with the run. I tend to save up a week or two’s worth of runs and then copy the data into my spreadsheet. It was easy when the dates were there to remember which day that was, what loop I took, etc. Now it is much more of a guessing game.

That’s it, pretty minor stuff I guess, but I really liked the way the old watches worked and really got used to the way they operate.

split/total time feature defective
“The big numbers show you your total time, lap time or both with the push of a button.”

This description isn’t completely true. The total time is not visible after hitting the split button (only the last split is visible).

Wheel of Ripoff 2
Since we recently upgraded to Vista with a snazzy new pc and my husband really loves to play Wheel of Fortune (Version 1), I was ecstatic to discover a 2nd version. Of course, I immediately bought it. What a huge disappointment!

Most of the graphics are identical and some are much worse. You can no longer click past “Vanna talk” or the boring descriptions of virtual prizes. You cannot escape the game until it’s your turn. The sound effects are no longer like the tv game. Instead, they replaced them with obnoxious tones.

Still yet, my husband was very happy to have more puzzles to solve. Unfortunately, even that was ruined. The very first time he played, it locked up and then booted him out of the game.

All I can say is “Way to go Wheel of Fortune Developers.” You managed to make a good game worse and then make more money selling it again. Boooooo!

Wheel of Fortune
It was a game I was looking for and Amazon had it for the right price. I enjoy the graphics.

When I want to purchase something else I will look on Amazon first.

Not that great
I think the game is OK, since it’s fun that you can choose interesting places to be, but sometimes the game shuts down and at other times it is VERY slow.
