 “So far, so great!” 2010-04-20
By M. McCaman (Carlsbad, CA)
I love this heart rate monitor. It’s easy to use, comfortable to wear and the price can’t be beat. I love that it communicates with most of the cardio machines I use in the gym by showing my heart rate right on the equipment’s display. Much easier and more accurate than the machines own monitors. Great value! You won’t be disappointed.

 “Works Good!” 2010-04-15
By T. Robertson (Arizona, USA)
I’ve had this monitor for about a month and use it regularly. Normally I don’t wet the sensors but just wait until I start sweating and then it picks up the heartrate well. I’ve found it to be accurate for the most part, but sometimes during the second half of my workout it starts fluctuating somewhat dramatically (jumps up to 20 beats higher and back down in a second or two) so I don’t think that is correct, unless I’m about to have a heart attack, which I hope is not the case.

My ribcage (where you are supposed to wear the monitor) is about 29 inches and the strap, even at it’s tightest, is loose on me. I tuck it up under my sportsbra to keep it in place and that works fine, but if you are a small person you may need to figure out a way to shorten the strap.

Overall, it works well for my purposes and I am happy with it.

 “Suddenly Quite After One Month” 2010-04-15
By Michael A. Chary (NYC)
I bought this HRM and was pleased with its function for the first month. As others noted, its monitoring during the first ten minutes of exercise is unreliable. After that, it did exactly what it advertised. However, the HRM suddenly failed to pick up the signal from the chest strap after one month. Replacing the battery did not help. While its price makes this HRM very attractive, buying copies of to mitigate product failure will quickly add up to the price of a Polar or Garmin HRM.

I simply wish it had kept working.

this one is very inaccurate, and I have requested an exchange. Would like to give it another try.

 “does what it needs to–Amazon description errs” 2010-04-10
By Peter Stoll (Albuquerque, NM)
My main point for this much-reviewed product is to correct a severe error in the Amazon listing. Under “Product Features” the page currently (April 9, 2010) says:

–Chest transmitter belt sends data to the receiver at a distance of up to 98 feet (30 meters)

This would be an enormous advantage over competing products if ture, but the actual product user manual says this on that exact subject: “The Transmitter and Wrist Receiver Monitor should be worn or mounted within 50 centimeters (20 inches) from each others”.

The language which actually contains the distance of 98 feet is the specified maximum submergence depth.

Other than that, I am pleased with the out-of-box experience on the unit. The chest strap fits fine, setting is reasonably intuitive. The display contrast is somewhat weak (that put it down to four stars for me). The wrist strap might need an extra hole drilled for the small wristed. I’m not truly tiny (145 pound 5’6″ male of average bone size) and I’m only on the second hole.

My real gripes with three previous exercise heart monitors have been battery life, battery accessibility, and strap stretching. This unit has a screw-off back for the receiver (my preferred option) and a coin-operable hatch for the battery in the transmitter. I just tested by opening both, and did have trouble with the O-ring for the transmitter wanting to get sideways–I suggest you not open it before need if you plan to swim with it.

The manual advises that you take the receiver to a jeweler for battery change to assure preserving the water resistance. I had already opened it before reading that point. Actually I did not notice an O-ring problem on that one, but replacing the screws was made maddeningly fiddly by the way their entry point was recessed below the bulging back of the case. Also the battery mount itself looked rather forbidding, not at all the easy change seen in the transmitter. (sorry, it just went down to three stars for those issues).

As to features I miss, not much, though I would like to get session average heart rate–something my budget model from another manufacturer does.
