When looking at the description and picture on this item I didn’t see that it came with a chest strap. I thought it would work with only the wrist monitor. I already have two other models that have chest strap that you have to moisten, put under your shirt so you can see your heart rate on the wrist monitor. The chest strat is uncomfortable and a hassel to put on.
If I would have known I was buying the same thing I would not have ordered. They should put a picture of the strap with the wrist monitor so a person would know what they are buying. I am disappointed with Amazon. They are usually much better at showing what we are buying.

I bought this watch for my grandfather. He likes the large numerals and the lack of confusing buttons. The built in light comes handy from time to time. I found a safe place for the instruction manual. It is a necessary read before setting the time and date.
I didn’t tell him, but I tossed out the heart monitoring accessories.

Bought this in February and have been disappointed with it from the get go. Makes a great watch but not worth a nickel as monitor. I would not recommend it to anyone. Also, when the monitor is working it gives false readings. Mine shows between 30-50 most of the time. When my pulse is actually taken it’s usually around 60-65 at rest. At present it is on my left arm and showing 33. On my right arm is a blood pressure monitor and it is showing a 65 hbr. So, even if you can get it to work you’re not guaranteed of the accuracy. What good is it then?

I was extremely disappointed in this product. It did not work until I was completely warmed up (about 10 minutes into my workout) even though I wet the belt as recommended. Thus I could not achieve an accurate reading on my total workout. The minute I stepped outside the watch stopped recording my heart rate altogether, even though I could clearly hear the waist belt beeping to the rhythm of my heart! This alone rendered the monitor pretty useless as I am predominantly an outdoor runner.
I would not recommend purchasing this product, even though it is on the cheaper side. Save up to buy a more expensive model. It will be worth it! Not to mention I returned this product a few weeks ago and have still not received a refund. So not worth the hassle.

out of the box it kept time and date (I have a watch for that) but when it came to heart rate monitor – DID NOT WORK. pretty disappointing. Returned immediately for something of better quality.
