Customer Ratings & Reviews

Since there are so few heart rate hearts ,it is better than nothing. If a heart rate watch meter with mor consistant heart reading pick up were available, I'd opt for it.

This watch is very hard to use. I can't figure out how to read the calories burned, when to put your finger on the pulse sensor etc. I tried to watch videos about the watch, but none assisted in the set-up and use of the watch. I think best but should have a video tutorial for electronics online. That would be awesome and set them apart from other store

its a pretty good sport watch... very usesable, accurate reading... easy set up... highly recommended to a friend

This product does little better than the incorporated HR monitor built into treadmill. Often times delivers false readings (220 BPM +). Wrist strap pinches. Backlight is worthless.

The first one I bought stopped working after six days (not sure if it was me or the watch) but after going back to the store where I bought it and finding out they did not have anymore in stock I had to go to another store location to get the replacement. When I got to the second store they said they did not have any in stock. But one of they workers searched the stock room and found one. Communication between stores could be better and their computers are not always up to date with what is in stock.

Nice and reasonably priced. Took me 1-2 hours to learn how to use, and I am decent with tech knowledge. Many options for those that are big on training.

The product serves the purpose of running and vaguely keeping track of your progress for the day, but it is not fancy and hard to use without reading the manual some.

I love knowing exactly how many calories I burn! Easy to use, easy to read. Sometimes the touch setting is activated when you don't want it to be.(like by the back of your hand doing push-ups) Overall awesome, would recommend.

I would not buy this monitor. It would not sync up with the heart monitor strap. The one touch was not easy to start when working out to change screens. Both my son and his trainer could not get it to work. We returned and bought different brand.

Hard to get on with the ear loops. Sound quality poor.

the price was lower than thew same one at Dick's store.

It is so difficult to use. I thought it was a friendly model, but ws so wrong. It is really hard to use it and I would recommend a more expensive one that is more practical and easy reading.

Not easy to navigate. I returned this watch and bought a polar and I love it. Don't waste your time.

This device was very hard to figure out to get started.

The menus are completely idiotic. I have yet to figure out how to set the stopwatch function. I do it every so often by accident, but it never works when needed. In a fit of rage, I have almost launched it into the woods on several occasions, but then I wouldnt know what time it is. If you try to change menus and touch the metal bezel, it suddenly jumps into action thinking you want to check your heart rate. Then it thinks about it and fails anyways. The HRM once told me my HR was 195 while I was driving home in my car. The only thing this does consistently is the clock works. So its an overpriced regular watch that teases you into thinking you can use it for all kinds of other functions. Its garbage. Do not buy!

I've had this model about 9 months & I love it. I am tech savvy & can follow manual instructions w/ease, but I did end of up calling customer service (2 x) to help walk me through the features & use. Sportline customer service is A+++. Initially, I was frustrated & decided to return it, but decided to call CS, first, & they really turned my experience with this product into a great one. I have a heart condition & thus, have a heart monitor at home & when comparing this little bugger w/it, realized it is very accurate with the strap on, intermittent without strap (which is to be expected... think of wireless versus direct connect). HR Above, In, & Below target zone tracking is very nice. Cal Count, Consistent & accurate heart rate data, TImer, & Fat burned. My only issue, and the resulting 4 stars instead of 5, is the tiny font on the unit, but after a few uses, you know where everything is. Note: If you don't use the monitor regularly & your vision is somewhat challenged like mine, I can see that as a problem when desiring to change or access certain features & may require re-familiarizing yourself. Another important note: Read the "read before use" instructions. It is a must for best performance and experience. Lotions, oils, and such can cause inaccuracy. Also, a little tap water (a drop) may be needed for especially dry skin. Little things like that make a difference, so be sure to read those "before" TIPS ;) Best of Luck and Enjoy! Ny

Heart rate monitor is consistently accurate. Chest strap fits well and is comfortable. Wetting your finger and rubbing water on the chest strap sensors gets it working faster. Instruction manual was easy to understand. I was upset at first because I thought it came with a dead battery but holding any button for 5 seconds brings the watch out of its packaged powered down state. I bought this watch as a supplement to my treadmills poor quality grip sensors. I am very happy with its performance and would recommend it to others.

Very good product. Easy to read high contrast screen with large fonts and strong backlight. Performs exactly as it should. Other reviews state the menus are not intuitive. I find they are. There are many features so reading the manual is important. The setup and operation is very similar to most all common wrist watches, etc. For the low price I was expecting low quality but it operates great and the materials are durable high quality. I bought it in case I only wanted to spot check my heart rate and not deal with a chest strap while running and biking. Without the strap you have to touch the watch case with your finger from time to time. This works well but of course the running average rate, time in/out of zone, etc are not as accurate as when wearing the strap. With the chest strap you get continual data points. Note, naturally the stop watch must be running in order to get average rate, time in/out of zone, etc.

This heart rate monitor comes with a chest strap that must be worn to get a continuous heart rate reading. If used without the chest strap you have to acually touch it with your fingertip to get a reading.

yea i just got mine and it works great the only problem is that the heart sensor thing is way way to sensitive but its amazing other wise i love the calorie tracker it works very well as far as i can tell and the heart rate monitor is very good also but i did have to start sweating in order for it to register with the watch but that was not a big deal and the watch read 225 bph when i was sitting down and i didn't have my arms extended but i don't no if that is my fault or theirs. any way this watch works great and i would definetly recommend it to a friend
