Overall, I am satisfied with this device. It is in expensive and light weight. I use it for exercise (walking) every morning. The monitor can provide the time and heart rate at the same time. It also has a function of stopwatch and alarm.
Strengths: Easy to use, very comfortable to wear.
Weakness: The chest strap is a little bit bigger than expected.
Being a person who hasn't ever joined a gym, I never knew stuff like this existed. I was very interested in this item because I've been walking for exercise but wasn't really sure I was reaching my target heart rate consistently. The monitor, which displays the time as well as your heart rate on a watch, works in conjunction with a gizmo that you strap around yourself, just under your chest. (I...
Strengths: works out of the box simple price
Weakness: no Ave/Min/Max HR can't see time and HR at the same time - you have to press "Time" button to switch all the time
This is very good simple and inexpensive HRM. Yes, Ava/Max/Min what is missing here, but other devices that have it cost twice much. I think I can live without it ;-)
Strengths: inexpensive and you are able to replace battery without returning unit to manufacturer
Weakness: doesn't show calories burned
this monitor worked fine right out of the box. still working without any problems. comes with a receiver mounting bracket for a bike handle instead of wrist. a good deal.
Strengths: accuracy
Weakness: manual explanation
The equipment manual does not tell but you have to put the belt very close to heart for the equipment to detect the heart beats. Otherwise it is a very accurate one, which is designed very well for aiding in exercising.
Strengths: greatly improved my exercise plan
Weakness: None
I used to do some running almost everyday but found it's not very effective without some planning. I did some research and found out it'll be greatly improvement to exercise at certain heart rate. But I didn't want to spend a lot of money on one of these heart rate monitors, so this product fit my price range perfectly. I'm not certain what other bells and whistles the more expensive ones have,...
Strengths: Comfortable fit chest band, full function watch with stop watch and alarm features.
Weakness: Watch alarm sound level is weak. Sometimes takes a while for the watch to sync with chest band causing delays in heart monitoring function.
I purchased this product so that I could monitor my workouts and push myself when I wasn't getting optimum performance. There is a chest band that fits around your body just below the pecs. This band stretches to fit tight, but you hardly notice that it's on. next you strap on the watch and hit the heart rate button. Usually within 30 seconds it picks up the signal from the chest band and starts...
Strengths: Inexpensive, includes clock/timer, comfortable, easy to change battery
Weakness: Needs a lot of moisture to get readings, seems to be inaccurate
Very inexpensive heart rate monitor. The watch includes a clock and timer, and can be set to indicate when your heart rate is in the optimal range. The monitor sits below your chest and is pretty comfortable and readily adjustable. In addition, the battery on the belt monitor can be changed by the user. However, you have to be sweating a lot or either apply some moisture on the monitor in order...
Strengths: inexpensive accurate
Weakness: complicated to set up
I WOULD BUY THIS UNIT AGAIN. IT CAN BE USED ON A TREADMILL OR OUTDOORS.I GOT IT TO REPLACE THE EAR LOB ATTACHED MONITOR WHICH CAME WITH MY TREADMILL AND WAS VERY INACCURATE.

Great heart rate monitor for the price!
Strengths: Low cost, ease of use.
Weakness: Limited capabilities (very basic)
I have been using this HRM for about 6 weeks now and I have been very satisfied so far, but of course I can't speak for the longevity of this product. I am a beginner runner and this was exactly what I needed as a starter model. It seems to be very accurate and consitent and it is extremely simple to use. If you are a beginning runner and are on a budget, I would recommend this HRM.
