"Solid watch for the price range. About $25 more than the next model down. If the uploading and the look are important go for it. If not you may want to save the few bucks. I like the look!"ramjet

(5)

Ease of installation

Pretty much open, set your starting data, ie: height weight, etc and you are ready to go.

(3)

Ease of use

You definitely need to read the instructions if you are a first timer. Takes a couple days to get used to the button positions as the start button is in the center right instead of a typical watch.

(5)

Quality of Construction

Strong watch and construction. Feels good and still light.

(4)

Fit

Overall it fits well. The clasp is a bit tight and the loop does not have a protruding piece that stops it in place but otherwise pretty good.

(4)

Comfort

Same as above.

(4)

Durability

So far so good but again, it feels strong.

(4)

Value

In the $100 range it provides a nice array of functions and because it has a clock and stop watch it is very functional.

(5)

Appearance

Solid black watch.

(4)

Performance

So far so good. Using it 5-6 days per week.

Strengths

The file manager is great for noting your workouts and recording avg and max HR plus time in zone. Additionally, the display is large enough to see when working out.

Heart rate alerts can be set and beep when you pass your zone.

It is light and good looking.

It has been reliable so far, accurate in its readings and very easy to use.

Weakness

The back button to bring you to the clock is also the stop button to stop monitoring your workout. This means you cannot see your clock in the middle of recording a workout. You can however see the stopwatch which is showing and easily see you time in.

The stop watch is functional but the display is very small. Also, no countdown timer.

Did not yet look into how to upload info and the instruction manual was not too elaborate.
