Battery change is complicated.

This is a two piece package. You get a chest strap that is read by any standard monitor. This means that any of those treadmills, bikes, and ellipticals in your gym that have a Polar system will read it.

The other part is the watch/monitor. That worked pretty well until the battery died. I tried to replace it myself, and it has not worked since. I recommend you take it to one of those mall kiosks to have the battery changed.

I feel like the chest strap was the more useful part anyways, and I use it every time I go to the gym.

ok, but...

The product works fine, but the first time I used it, the raised crystal on the watch got scratched, directly blocking the time viewing area. Also the numbers (time, heart rate, etc) are of a font that is not particularly easy to read. Other than that, the product is good for the price.

Best Heart Rate Monitor for the Money!

This is a great heart rate monitor for the money. I had a polar heart rate monitor for years and it worked fine; however, it was misplaced during a move to another state. Key Points to consider:

A couple hundred dollars less than the major brand monitors.

Easy to use and see even in low light conditions with the back light button.

My old monitor had so many functions but most went unused.

No interference when using with my treadmill.

Comes with bike mount and carrying case.

Reliable. Make sure its snug, properly placed, and wet the pads prior to putting on the cheststrap.

One button transfers from stopwatch to heartrate... no big deal even during track workouts.

I would have been skeptical but I own the Omron HEM-637 wrist blood pressure monitor with Intelli Sense and it works great and is very accurate so I went for it and I'm very pleased!!!

Comfortable and accurate

The chest belt is very comfortable for me to wear and the readings are accurate. I checked them against our blood pressure machine and the readings from hand sensors on the gym equipment.

I use an aloe vera gel on the sensors to get readings as soon as I put the belt on .... you can also use water or just wait until you begin to perspire. It is very useful for setting the speed / difficulty on the treadmill to maintain the proper heart rate. The settings vary from day to day and sometimes during the workouts.
