This watch is a good product with a ton of features, including time, heart rate, lap counter and many more. The heart rate monitor measures target heart rate, zones, calories burned and HR high and low. I sometimes question the accuracy of the monitor as occasionally it shows my heart beat low as about 30 beats per minute in the gym, but 99% of the time works perfectly. I would definately recommend this product.

I have only just received my Puma heart rate monitor. It looks great, feels great and is a great improvement over my Oregon Scientific HRM. The batteries can be changed by the wearer. The instructions that come with the watch could be a lot better. There are no instructions on how to change watch battery, the strap battery is self evident. If they don't want to spend money on printing a lengthy instruction manual, they could make the instructions available somewhere on line, which would be very cost effective. I would definitely recommend this Puma HRM. I would recommend using some type of ECG or TENS conductivity gel on the chest strap, you then get an immediate accurate pulse reading, otherwise HRMs tend to jump around until you build up a good sweat. Once you place the chest strap on you can hear a clicking sound that is the transmitter in the strap reading your pulse, you get used to it and it is very faint, unobtrusive but strange at first, I haven't had an HRM that does this before. Finally, it only took four calender days from the time I placed my order with Amazon on the net,to the day it was delivered to me in Hobart, Tasmania down under in Australia. Incredibly fast delivery, well done Amazon.

I've been using this Heart Rate Monitor for over 2 weeks now. Works well in a high impact gym environment (boxing class) & is easy to use.

Also very fast delivery with the package arriving in 4 days.

This watch has a lot of features(I only use it as a HRM) and looks great(as most puma products do).


Pros: Bought mine in 2008 and still going strong, good battery life(still has original batteries),calorie counter(don't know how to use it lost my manual) and looks good(I especially like HRM gauge lights up).

Cons:You have to wear a chest strap(that is common with most monitors).

Overall this is a great product better than some new one that came out on the market recently.

I bought the HRM on a Emirates flight and am using it for jogging and training. I have used it now for about 3 months and the product works fine and is generally accurate.

A few drops of water on the skin under the measure unit is helpful to get the correct heart rate.

The HRM is loaded with features, but it is not user friendly. In fact, if you loose the small instruction booklet, you will have a very hard time to programme the HRM or to access many of its features.

I can only support the suggestion of another user that the company should post a user manual online!

Actually this little gadget helped me to quit smoking - after I noticed that my HR jumped up 20% to 25% every time I smoked a cigarette I never lighted another again!

It took a few days, but now I LOVE this watch! The heart rate monitor works perfectly. This watch does a million things, so it takes a while to figure out which of the four buttons to press when you want to set the watch or see your workout summary. The only downside is that it is not very water resistant...you can't wear it in the shower, let alone for a swim.
