Timex Unisex Analog Heart Rate Monitor W

Strap stopped working after a few months. I spent a ton replacing the battery. Would remove it after every workout. It eventually just stopped working all together.

PROS: many features, great price, easy to read. CONS: battery died too soon (e.g. month). I read reviews about keeping the chest strap dry and at least 6 feet from watch when not in use, and this has greatly helped. Other complaint is when the watch is on my bike handlebar the reception is spotty and so i get more false readings then when I wear it on my wrist, even though it is closer to my chest on the handlebars. Not sure why, but for the money it does what I wanted. Also, for the play-back, it shows only one workout, and if you accidently start a new workout on the button, then your history is lost. which can be frustrating if you track your workouts on a schedule. but this may be minor for your needs.

Easy to use. All the features you need, but not overkill.

I had read reviews prior to this purchase so I had an idea what to expect. The product performed very well. The manual is a joke....very poor. I found out how to set the heart rate high and low level by reading other reviews. I still have no idea how to snap off the chest belt. I just loosen it up and remove over my head. Product works great. Manual is very poor.

Nice watch but very basic. Doesn't even have the basic stop watch or timer functionality that is seperate from the heart monitor. It is just a heart monitor attached to a basic digital watch. Not a sports watch on its own at all. Description on site can be misleading. I will be returning it.
