As a heart rate monitor this makes for a great watch. First of all you have to have both hands free for it to take your pulse. That limits your exercise too running or walking. Second it says in the manual that any sudden movements will make for an inaccurate reading. (I don't dispute its accuracy) The bottom line: While I find a strap uncomfortable it at least gives me a reading every time I look at it, this product requires that I press a button for 15 to 20 seconds to get a reading, making it too hard to use.

After my last chest strap broke and I could not replace it easily, I looked into a strapless monitor. I never liked the chest strap anyway. This is a very nice product. I find it to be quite accurate and easy to use. What's more, it actually works while I am on the treadmill, which often interferes with other monitors. I can go from treadmill to weights and back (or to other aero) and it does not miss a beat (sorry). I would give it 5 stars except that it is slightly large for a female wrist. Other than that, it's great. And if you have large wrists, then it should be five stars for you.

Consumer Reports rated all the "strapless" models below the others. Their analysis showed that this method of estimating your heart rate is far less accurate than using a monitor with a chest strap. In addition, the Reebok models were generally rated lower than Polar, Acumen, and others.

I Have Had Paper Cups that have lasted longer than this watch
Poor Quality do not buy this...The Design also leaves much to desire in the way of function and styling
All around I regret buying this watch and would not recommend it to a friend or foe.

it worked great up untill the point where the top row of digits are no longer visable

This product didn't even come close to working. Yeah, it tells time, but the heart rate monitor does not work at all!!! It wouldn't work for me or for my husband. We're going to stick with our Polar heart rate monitors with the chest strap. They work fine.
