highly recommended

Cant beat it for the price.

Great monitor & watch, for a extremly reasonable price.I baught a Schwinn Airdyne exercise bike recently. To my surprise and pleasure when I wore the chest strap from the Timex watch my heart rate was regestering on the Schwinn monitor. Can't go wrong with this watch. Looks good,has large #s,heart rate, time and date.

Curious about the calorie count

This works great as a heart rate monitor, however I'm not sure how accurate the calorie counter is. It says I burned about 1000 calories in 45 mins when the machines I was using said I burned about 600 and when I logged my workout into a website I'm using to track my calorie intake, it said I had burned about 700. Not sure what to think since the HRM is the only thing that was actually strapped to my body, maybe its the most accurate. I'm not going to count on it though.

heart rate monitor

I have to admit now it is difficult to exercise without my Timex heart rate monitor- yet it does have some minor flaws. For me, it takes a while to pick up my heart rate- even with a little water behind the monitor (it takes a lot for me to sweat to aid with transmission). Usually within 5 minutes of strenuous activity the monitor will work and transmit. Now for my husband, this monitor has been flawless and is GREAT!! For the price you can't go wrong- and I tried the more expensive heart rate monitors and had similar problems. I definitely recommend this heart rate monitor!!

Great Device; Great Value

This is a great beginner's heart rate monitor. I've never had one before and in only 2 weeks I've experienced a clear increase in health and fitness. What swayed me in getting this one is that at the time I ordered it there were 21 4/5-star ratings and only 1 1-star rating. I've found it to be as great as the other reviews stated, a wonderful device, and a great value.

The only problem I've experienced is when I hadn't wet the sensors as the directions specified. Once I did that it worked perfectly. This could be the problem of the negative review.

I do wonder how well the chest strap will endure. There are 2 small rubberized plastic clips which are each potential points of failure.

The sensor and watch both use standard lithium batteries, so that will make replacement easy when the time comes.

Unlike heart rate monitors that are at least 5 times the cost, only the readings from the last session are saved, so they do need to be recorded manually if you want the save them.

I looked at strapless models, but most people recommended the strap. One advantage of the strap is that you can check your heart rate throughout the day which would be hard to do with the strapless models.

I marvel at the technologies used to create this device for such a reasonable price: heart rate sensors, wireless data transmission, data storage, and calculations. It's an incredible device and great value.
