I chose this heart rate monitor for 3 reasons:

1. It has a chest strap transmitter – far superior to the type where you need to pause from a work out and put your fingers on a watch unit to get your HR. With this unit your HR is shown constantly. Depending on the mode you choose you can also see HR and calories burned at the same time.

2. The battery can be replaced in this unit – that alone ensures a long life for this product !

3. It blocks interference from other heart rate monitor signals. I take a spinning class with 30 people where heart rate monitors are required. I wanted to make sure not to have a problem with interference from someone else’s unit.

This unit works perfectly. Constantly transmitts accurately. I have never had a problem with it. It’s comfortable to wear, and the readout is large and clear. It’s got lots of other functions, and was fairly simple to set up.

The ONLY reason I did not give this HR monitor 5 stars was due to it’s price. I think $160 is too steep a price for any HR monitor.

I have owned my unit for 2 years now and have loved it. If you want to do the work outs that come with it after you put in your stats, you can do that, it is very helpful and keeps you on task & motivated. If you don’t want to do those, you can silence the beeping and do whatever workout you choose and it still records your stats. I think some people who are saying it was giving strange readings or none at all don’t realize that you have to moisten the sensory pads BEFORE you put it on and some times have to move it to the right spot on your lower chest area. It is extremely easy to adjust the chest strapm, I am not sure what that review was about. I had one time where it kept giving me a strange heart beat reading, I simply took off the strap, ran it under the faucet again, and restarted my workout on the watch and didn’t have another problem. Sending it in to get the battery replaced is a pain, but you can take it to a local jeweler if you don’t care about the waterproofing of the watch. The one feature I wish this watch had was a GPS unit to track your distance. Other than that, I wear this watch/strap for my daily work outs of running, lifting, riding and everything in between and love it.
