 Extremely Disappointed October 14, 2008

The calorie counter function is extremely inaccurate. In addition, the heart rate function does not work, even after I tried all the suggestions in the manual. In addition, I contacted the manufacturer to see if I could either return the watch or upgrade to a more accurate watch. Since it had been over 30 days since I purchased the watch they would not help me. Do not buy this watch, it is a piece of junk!!

I love all the features of this heart rate monitor and watch, except for one and that would be the way it takes your heart rate. It does not take a reading if your skin is wet. I bought it for my spinning class and I can't get a reading. I have to dry my wrist and put the watch back on to get a reading.

Loved it until it stopped working September 24, 2008
I loved this product. I had previously had a "strap" monitor and absolutely hated it (would be better if you had no chest). This watch never gave me any problems when it was working. Suddenly the watch would not provide a heart rate so I figured it needed a new battery. I took the watch to Sear's "watch/clock" repair department. When the service person took the watch apart, she placed the new battery in, and then put the watch back together. It would not even light up and she said they were not able to fix "digital" watches. She took out the new battery and gave me back the watch. I am not sure what happened, but the watch was lit when I gave it to her. I am thinking of buying the watch again because I really liked it and am familar with all of its features, but do not want it to only last a year. At least my "strap" monitor (Polar)has operated for many years and several battery replacements. I wish there were other reviews regarding battery replacements for this watch.

I was attracted to this watch because of the lack of chest strap...but there's a reason REAL heart rate monitors have a chest strap- because they WORK. This monitor works fine when you're standing still. But if you actually want to use it to work out, think again. It's really annoying to have to press and hold down the sensors with two fingers to get a read and it barely reads when you're moving. By the time it reads, you've already stopped your work out. Also, there's no way for it to do a calorie count because it's not monitoring your heart rate during your work out. It must "guess" based on the 1 or 2 readings you're able to get at some point during your work out...far from accurate.
Trust me, go for the strap. I'm sure you get used to it after a day or two. Wish me luck on returning this one.
