Appearance:
The heart rate monitor can be worn as a normal clock, me personally it is a bit too thick, but it is still acceptable. But I did not so I bought to read to pass the time.
Function:
The measurements appear to be plausible. Whether they are 100 percent correct, I can not say, but in a measurement with another device (at rest) is little difference was noted. And for me sufficient accuracy over from. Every now and then come forward to doubts when the pulse from one to another measurement drops suddenly by more than 30 points. Where there is no doubt that sinks the pulse, only the magnitude seems to me then before too extreme.
Furthermore, there are several sub-menus, which I use only the menu Training.
Among the other as result, LAP Result u. Fit Test I can therefore make no judgment myself.
Instructions:
Well, could be better written. When I worked for the first time with the manual, I had problems to adjust the clock. Only after I
have taken with the Quick Start Guide to breast I could set the clock without any problems.
Chest:
Because of my chest circumference of the chest was at taut schmaller he should not have been, as I had already set the maximum length.
Although I here depart the point where it was so nearly impossible to expand a contact at the clock.
According to the manual is intended to moisten the chest strap, if no contact comes.
The experiment with water failed completely, it came no measurement.
The 2nd tip in the manual with spit (well, also if need be) was only slightly better, of 4 trials came about 1 Contacting clock and the last tip with gel I have not even tried, since I already disgusting find when in examinations at the doctor, the gel is used.
Note: The gel can I find disgusting than the spit.
Meanwhile, I'm doing it so that I take a position of a tissue, fold, they anfeuchte with some water and then put between chest and skin. So come with me always a contact state.
Software / cable (purchased separately):
The extras I bought in an online pharmacy, has cost around 17 Euro (without postage).
The software I find well made, with me but the comparison with other programs is missing.
I can display the heart rates do not only, there are also details were as calorie / fat burning. Although one should keep in mind, however, that which is only on calculations of past experience. But when info is interesting.
The other points like weight management are intensively used by me, because I want / need to lose weight and what.
While there are the occasional gripe like the fact that generally run is set as the exercise and you would then have to manually change each time. It would be better if you could preset it yourself (if possible, please tell me, I have not found so far).
Or sometimes the error messages appear when transferring the data from the clock, the data is transmitted but funnily sometimes anyway.
It is true by the way: start program, go to Data Manager, connect the clock and then "transfer data" button.
Conclusion:
From me there is a strong buy recommendation for the heart rate monitor.
My biggest gripe is holding the contact sternum strap -> Clock. But that can be rectified as it is written with a simple method.
Price / performance is OK for me
