2.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this monitor, April 23, 2010

I purchased this monitor a couple months ago at Amazon because one can change the batteries. I have owned three monitors previously and you had to send them off to get the batteries changed. This is a great watch. However, it isn't worth a plug nickel as far as the HBR monitor. After several attempts at trying to switch to the monitor mode you might get the monitor to start but most of the time you won't. Once it does switch to the monitor mode it only lasts for a few minutes and then you're back on the watch mode. Many times it has shown my HBR to be as low as 30 bpm. When I take my pulse it is actually 60 bpm. Very aggravating piece of work. I will be looking to purchase another monitor. Hopefully, the next one will work.

I won't buy another timex, they lost a customer. I know junk when I see it, this is it. I can confirm the other review, this thing reads my heart rate at 30 bpm, if it can even read my heart rate. Eventually, it seems to read correctly, but if you are doing anything more than light jogging, this thing wont be able to handle it, it will lose the heart rate with intense exercise. I do not understand companies who make crap like this. They shouldn't even bother with it, as now I do not think I will ever buy another timex again.......

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing first monitor purchase, August 17, 2010

I too bought this product during the initial period where there were no reviews. I bought two, one for me and one for my wife and I was severely disappointed. Either the watch has a problem picking up the signal from the band or vice versa. Because we had two I was able to troubleshoot battery issues and such but when it comes down to it they did not consistently work. As far as accuracy, I wouldn't know because it was rarely to get the product working long enough or reliably enough to test accuracy. I'm still looking for a product that works for my large sized chest.
