S12 Heart Rate Monitor

I bought it a few weeks ago, i have to admit the price was great, but i have always heard, cheap price, cheap product. HELLO!! It worked for a exactly a week, then after that, it would not even take a reading. Everything else works but the heart rate monitor. I noticed it when it would not pick up the HR while working out. I would have to stop working out and take the reading. After two days, the HR was gone. Took it off, left it on the treadmill and it worked 24 hrs later and i was sitting down. It just simply does not work. Dont waste your money or time with this product. I warned you!

I have had other Sportline products with good results but the S12 let me down. I took it out of the box and pressed the button for the required 5 seconds and when I let it go nothing happened. I am taking it back tomorrow.

This watch doesn't work at all. The only button that works is the backlight button but all the rest of the buttons to set the time or mode don't operate at all.. bringing back tomorrow!

After price comparing heart rate monitors at different sports stores, I saw this product in Wal-Mart and thought that for the price, it was a great deal. However, once I got it home and attempted to use it, it would not read my heart rate. I tried all of the trouble shooting ideas in the manual, and it still wouldn't read. My family members also tried it out to see if it was a user error on my part. It wouldn't read their heart rate either. I will be returning this product as soon as I can and will purchase a monitor that will actually work. If you are someone who doesn't care about the heart rate readings, it seemed to do a decent job at recording my steps, but I didn't go very far.

Very convenient operation, like it very much when I bought it. Worked well first time out running, resets itself the 2nd time, will return it soon.
