2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best heart rate monitor watch. . ., October 17, 2006

This review is from: Reebok Fitness Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Sports)

This is my third heart rate monitor. I purchased this one because the battery died in my last HR watch. I thought I could replace the battery, but when I tried to replace it, I broke it. Oh well. . .

Anyway, I purchased the Reebok Fitness HR Watch because it was on sale (50% off retail). I couldn't find any reviews on it so I "rolled the dice."

With my two previous HR watches, it was pretty intuitive as to how to set and operate them without reading the instructions. With the Reebok HR watch, I had to read the instructions a couple of times. After a couple of training sessions, I began to feel comfortable on how to operate it and use its settings.

There are a few PROS on the Reebok HR watch:

(1) The chest heart rate strap will work with Precor cardio machines with heart rate monitors.

(2) The chest heart rate strap's battery is easily replaced. (I don't know about the watch.)

(3) It has a lot of features that you'll find in higher priced HR watches.

Now, the CONS:

(1) The heart rate reading is much too small if you're near-sighted or need reading glasses.

(2) The shape of the crystal cover causes a glare under certain indoor and outdoor lighting so it's difficult to read the small heart rate reading.

In conclusion, because the heart rate reading is too small and there's a glare, I can't read the watch unless I slow down, steady my arm, and position my arm at a certain angle to deflect the glare. Because of this, I'm disappointed with this watch.

If you've got good eyesight, you can add 1-star.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this Heart Rate Monitor, March 22, 2007

I've had this heart rate monitor for about 8 years now. I really like the way it works and I've never had any problems with it. I use it about every-other-day for my aerobic work-out. The only thing I've had to do is change the battery. When I first got it and when I change the batteries I have to get out the instructions to re-set everything, but other than that, it's great. I'm planning to buy a second one for my husband.

2.0 out of 5 stars Reebok Heart Monitor, January 23, 2009

The Reebok Heart Monitor arrived without a working battery. Dead as a doornail. I contacted the Reebok people, as instructed in the material. The cost of shipping it to them plus the time lost without the product made it more sensible to purchase a battery locally. Although I purchased a better battery than would have been installed originally, it cost me an extra $25 that should not have been necessary.
