Summary: Great for a few months, but...
Comment: This was $30 in Jan '09. I bought it to track my HR during the P90X program. It worked great for a few months giving me the basic features I needed; time, avg HR and Peak HR. I took a few months off of P90X and used it only a few times over the next few months. I recently started the P90X program again and a couple weeks into the program with daily use, the transmitter just stopped working. I replaced the battery, but still nothing. Fortunately I bought a 1 year warranty, so I was able to get a full refund. I will not buy this product or brand again. I hope this helps.

Summary: Great Place to Start
Comment: My wife and I purchased this watch in Dick's at the end of July this year. We just started jogging after reading the book "Younger Next Year". We are new to using H.R. in training, so we didn't want to spend on all the bells and whistles. It tracks average and peak, and the current elapsed time is easy to call up when exercising. I have occasionaly trouble getting the watch synching with the strap, but my wife never has problems. Recently I switch from wetting the HR strap to wetting my chest instead, and it has helped. The funny thing is that our Sole E35 Elliptical ALWAYS picks up the HR signal from the Timex strap, so I know that is not what causes the occasional glitches. I would recommend it for others who are just getting started. After using for several months, I wouldn't pay another $50 for a few more features.

Summary: Don't raise your arm
Comment: This moniter is simple and easy to use. It tracks heart rate well. However, when the arm is raised over-head it loses accuracy. For those of us who do workouts involving overhead movements and want to have accurate heart rate assessment, we may want to look at other products.

Summary: Great For The Price
Comment: Seems to be accurate the couple of times i compared it by palpating.
I have hit it with the water hose a few times and appears water resistant.
Band is pretty comfortable.
Biggest complaint is no stopwatch.

Summary: Works Great with Exceptions
Comment: I bought this monitor about three weeks ago to monitor my heart rate while cycling. For that purpose it works flawlessly and is a very good value.
The instructions suggest that one wear it for 24 hours on several different days to get a good idea of how your heart is working throughout the day. Okay, sounded like a good idea. I put it on and wore it and watched my heart rate while doing chores around the house. The next day I put it on and wore it to work, except every time I looked at it it had lost signal and had reverted back to watch mode. When I got in my car to go home it did the same thing. When I am at home on my laptop, it often loses signal there too. At first I thought it had to do with how far the watch was from the sensor, but I bike with my arms pretty much extended, more so than when driving my car or at work. My guess is that the watch receptor is very susceptible to RFI (i.e.radio static) from electronic devices, car ignitions, etc. I have found that it really doesn't work as a general heart monitor, but for a cyclist, runner, walker, any exercise away from sources of RFI it works very well.
I like the idea of knowing my heart rate and being able to regulate my effort to maintain a good healthy workout for my heart. With certain reservations, I would recommend this to a friend.
