It works as stated. I bought this watch because of the reviews and functionality of the watch. I wanted to keep track of calories during the day. Set up was easy, just read the instructions fully and it is simple. You can enter your weight, maximum heart rate, etc, for the calorie tracker. It is handy to keep you in the zone that you want to be working out in. I never knew I was actually working out too hard to get the results I wanted. So it has made my workouts much more efficient.

The chest strap is actually comfortable, not bulky, and connects to my watch in just a second or two. I haven't had any problems with the connection, like others have had, but I am assuming that is because I don't have really tight abs yet.

I am not sure about the calorie tracker yet, it seems to state I burn a lot of calories, so not sure how accurate it is. I have been adding the heart rate, etc, into an online system of figuring calories and they seem to be right on with each other. I am just finding it hard to believe that I burn that many calories in a day. Maybe I do? Who knows.

Anyhow, It was a steal of a price, I got it on sale for $38. Sweeet deal.

i ordered this to monitor my heart rate and did not know you had to strap a sensor around your chest. tried using it but readings were so erratic i returned it for a refund. I was actually looking for a replacement type i had in the past that monitored your pulse on the wrist and also kept time.

I have used my heart rate monitor six times running on the track in the last two weeks. It's really easy to use, adjustable strap sensor and wrist watch. So far, no complaint whatsoever. Would buy one again. Highly recommending this product. No bells or whistles, but it gets the job done and it is reliable. Thank you, Amazon, for carrying this product and the fast shipping.

I have had the Timex for a month and use it almost every day. It is easy to use and seems to work perfectly. While I am still learning how to incorporate all of the features into my daily routine, I am very pleased with this product's performance.

It does exactly as it says it does, it just works. I like it. I like the alarm that tells you when your either too high or too low while running, it makes running much more interesting. Not too complicated either, about all you would need.
