Does anyone have a Nike SDM that still works? If so, how long have you had it for? I've had two since January last year, both of which lasted less than two months. I have just got around to phoning Sweatshop re my latest one, and they said it was only the first batch that was faulty. If so, that would be great news because I much, much prefer the Nike to the Timex, but I am still very sceptical. Anyone actually using these?

btw, Ratcatcher, you are a technology freak!!! One Nike SDM, one brand new Polar S410, an old HRM that still works... How about a Casio, or Suunto, altimeter, barometer, and electronic compass watch next? I quite fancy one of these myself...
Slowmo, great news, though if both yours are even older than mine I wonder why mine both broke. I look forward to some good use out of my next replacement when it arrives.
There's a company in the States that make an SDM which is also an HRM (I forget the name, at the moment. So, when it comes to analysing the data, you can actually see precisely how your heart reat responds to an increase in pace... You could order one from the States; I think they're advertised on the American Runner's World website.
Inaccurate, unreliable and overpriced seems to be the verdict.
Still, I do have a birthday in a few month's time. No harm in looking is there?

Rc recommended the Timex (thru JoeTimex on eBay) and I've never looked back since... maybe that's why I'm getting a sore neck these days ;-)
only complaint is the shortish battery life...
