Pro:
- No chest strap.
- Large numbers, very readable.
- Rechargeable battery.
- Configuration of the clock and synchronization of performance data via Bluetooth with Apple or Android app (Go million) ... with iPhone 5s it works well.
Cons:
- This clock must be worn above the wrist between 3-8 cm (even higher with thin wrists may). This means that outdoor activities - has obscured the heart rate monitor from the sleeve of your clothing - under normal circumstances. If you want to see the pulse value, you have to slide the sleeve aside. In the summer, it does not matter because you're usually on the go with short sleeves. Now in winter, especially when it rains I think the sleeve attachment simply annoying. Finally, I wear a heart rate monitor to the pulse value constantly have in mind can.
- The million Aplha 2 shows - contrary to my Brustgurtuhr - only a value. To retrieve more data must be pressed a button (the left). This is annoying when running.
- Pulse rates go every now and then (unrealistic) leaps upward.
- Km distance indication very inaccurate. Meaningless without calibration option.
- 2x IGES finger tap the screen backlight works sporadically.
As fascinating as it is, to be able to dispense with this new pulse measurement technology on the chest, I decided, in weighing up the advantages and disadvantages - to return this clock and dear again to belt the "annoying" belt - compared to my Brustgurtuhr , My "old" clock can loosely sit below the wrist, outside of your sleeve and all the essential values are, without further action, to read at a glance.
