5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing HRM, June 19, 2006

By 

Californian - See all my reviews

I've been shopping around for a heart rate monitor for a while, Polar is the recommendation from everyone, however I didn't want to buy it for 2 reasons, its way too ugly and cheaply made, and very expensive for the specs, I ended up buying this HRM after I saw a cyclocomputer made by Sigma Sport, it was such wonderful, easy to use computer, so I thought their heart rate monitor would be designed and built the same way, I wasn't wrong, this HRM is amazing, very accurate, and most importantly it easy to use, straight forward, and loaded with functions without making your life complicated, it has all the features you need plus little extra for luxury, however without the hassle of digging around with buttons to get the important data output you need, it can display all the information you need with large print, so you don't have to concentrate a lot to read while cycling or running, unlike Timex or some Polar models, where the display is too small that you have to look longer to read it, quite distracting and frustrating when cycling, more over Sigma Sport utilized the whole surface of the watch to be as display (you can tell from the picture) and they placed all the buttons on the side, as a result you can get your heart rate, heart rate zone (health, fitness or Power) , your percentage heart rate out of maximum + training time or calories or lap count (you choose more if you want) all in one screen with huge print, very impressive, absolutely ergonomic design.
You can define your Max heart rate with the zones your self, if you know them, or you can simply enter your gender, age and weight and let the watch do all the work for you.
Another advantage is the chest strap and the sensor, you can change the battery by your self which is a major advantage over other HRMs, moreover the sensor is very sensitive, you don't even have to wet it to get the reading, didn't have distortion from electric signals yet, and very rarely lost the signal, when it happens the watch captures it again within few seconds.
The watch has a very attractive design, I found my self wearing it all the time instead of my regular watch, it has all the functions of practical watch, like time, 12 or 24 hr format, day and date, stop watch, alarm, backlight, plus nice looking, something you don't see in Polar models,
The watch comes with bike bar attachment so you can mount it while cycling
The only disadvantage is the size, its big and more suitable for men, I believe it would be too big for ladies arms, you can compare it in size to Casio G shock models, however its much thinner, but mounting it on Bike bar would solve this problem.
Over all I see this watch as a perfect HRM in regard to function reliability appearance and price, highly recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantasic HRM with all the features you need, a best buy, November 6, 2006

I have used this HRM for 4 months now and love it. I mainly use it riding my bike. Comes with a handlebar quick-mount for bike that is nice to use so can see it always without taking hands of bar.

Trying to decide I found Polar (and others) had too many models and they carefully structured features/price to make you spend $50 to $150 more. This HRM has a ton of features (all that I need) and a great flexible display. I don't think it has a light.

While working I like to display the Heart menu so I can see % of max constantly and a % graph and my current HR. It's easy to move thru the menus and see all the info. Keeps a running tally of calories, I think I burned 20,000 so far.

The Sigma Sport website is very well done and shows all the info you need to decide. This is a best buy.

This review is from: SIGMA PC15 Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Sports)

This product exceeded my expectations by a long shot. It is literally easier to use than my watch. It is set up with menus which you can scroll through rather than memorizing witch buttons to hold down for 5 seconds. The menus are also clearly labeled on the outside of the watch. The only set up this product requires is Time/Date and weight/age. the watch does the rest for you. press one button it will start to log your heart info press another button, and it will stop. you can also pause. it will beep each time you enter a new heart rate zone. At the end of a workout it has all your information logged for you. including max HR, average HR, Calories burned, length of workout and loads of other features. This is highly recommended for anyone who is looking at staying or getting into shape.

I was further impressed with the product when I took it to the gym, I bought this mainly for my bike riding, but soon found out that most treadmills pick up the sensor and display it on the machine, which is great so you don't have to look at the watch or even wear it while running. I am sure that is a feature all the HR monitors have, but it's just another great reason to invest in one if you are a treadmill user.
