Digital coding explained.

Digitally Coding Explained
Sigma Sport's Onyx models are stand outs due to their digital, coded transmission. Through this technology users avoid wireless disturbances during group training known as "cross talk effect" in specialist jargon. At the start of training, synchronization takes place between the coded chest belt and the heart rate monitor. Consequently the watch only receives data from its own chest belt. The heart rate readings are converted into digital data packages and transmitted to the receiver in the watch. A time coding and ID procedure within Onyx models guarantees that data transmission is significantly more secure compared to analogue heart rate monitors.

Features:

• Digital coded transmission
• 4 heart rate functions
• 6 time functions, including countdown and alarm
• Training mode with 1 adjustable HR zone
• Burned Kcal
• Total values per week, per month, and since reset
• Memory for 1 training session

So far I am pleased with the product. It was relatively easy to program. It seems to work accurately and consistently. The watch face is bigger than I expected and looks kind of funny on my small wrist, but it's no big deal.

This review is from: SIGMA ONYX Easy Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Sports)

I have few complaints about the actual features of this watch. I do not care for the fact that it does not interface with exercise machines for tracking of HR due to the coding (where as I have read that Polar monitors do). But it does seem accurate enough. I love the programability of the personal HR zone and other features. Also has the indicator of where you are in the heart rate zone. Post workout delights are avg heart rate, low, and high! Stores records of your workouts for weeks and months.

When I first got this watch, the backlight did not work. I figured it was just a glitch. Then less than one year later, it stopped working correctly all around. The screen has become jumbled and you cannot comprehend the data on the display.

Firstly, I tried to contact customer service several times. I finally got a reply after 2-3 weeks or so with the excuse "we couldn't get through to your email address". No one's ever had a problem. Anyhow, they did give me a route to send back my item for repair/replacement. It was very fast. I sent Priority Mail and got it back maybe 5 days later. And it was a brand new watch! Very happy. The backlight works on this one.

So it took a while, but I did prevail. Very nice. I am happy now.
