2.0 out of 5 stars Big Disappointment, June 16, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: FS-1 Speedometer (Misc.)

I was so excited when I ordered this product. I thought it would be great to have the freedom to run wherever I wanted and be able to track my distance and speed. When it arrived, the instructions were not too difficult which is good for someone like me. The first thing you have to do is calibrate it by running on a known distance and then going to their website to put in the difference between what you actually ran and what the watch reported. It then gives you a number to program into the watch. I had to do this three separate times before the watch was correct. Then for about 2 months it worked great. Then both batteries went dead (the watch and foot pod). According to the instructions, you should not have to recalibrate after changing the batteries. This was not true. The watch was way off after I changed the batteries. I tried to recalibrate it three more times with no luck. It is now sitting in a drawer because I don't have the time to keep fooling with it. I think this product is a lot of work and a huge disappointment. If you know your mile pace, you really don't need it to keep track of your distance. It truly was a waste of money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best investment ever made, November 22, 2003

I purchased the FS-1 Speedometer over three months ago, and have nothing but praises for the product. Along with the Speedometer, I purchased the heart rate monitor and the data link. I've never had a running coach, but when I use this entire package it is the equivelent to haveing a coach. I am able to track my run second by second.

hi
I bought and used this product intensively for 6 months and it is now dead in the water.
first the start/stop/reset button started working uh .. randomly ... then the watch started to reset itself to 0 even with new batteries, then ice on the cake, the pod purely and simply stopped communicating with the watch... and since Fitsense does not have a return policy, I am stuck with a bulky $250 watch ....
since I really need a distance monitor, I will now buy a Polar which is what I should have done at first. stick to the pro.
I would rate this product -5 stars if I could. needless to say, I am fairly upset with it.
ciao
