All good except chest strap
I've owned this heart rate monitor for almost a year, but I can't use it now because the chest strap broke. The clasp on the elastic part going into the sending unit broke off when I was taking it off. I have e-mailed Timex in an attempt to get a replacement strap. I would hate to have to buy a new monitor just for this strap. Other than that, the monitor worked great. I used the sending unit to feed both the Timex heart rate montitor watch that came with it and a receiving unit that I bought separately that can be hooked up to my computer to record a workout's data. It did a great job before the strap broke. If the clasp hadn't broken, I would have given the monitor another star.

great watch but overpriced
I bought this watch for my husband who is training for the NY Marathon. He loves it. It monitors his heart rate and shows him how many calories he has burned during his workout.
However, the box had a sticker on it from the manufacturer with the price of $59.95 and we were charged $69.99. So, I am sure you can find it cheaper elsewhere.

Don't use in a pool.
There's nothing in the manual about using this swimming. I didn't press the buttons underwater. But after the first swim it isn't working like it was before. It shows a HR of 30 out of the water. Now I can't use it cycling.

Works Great
I purchased 2 of these about 6 months ago and so far I've had no problems. It is very easy to set up and works great. I do wonder about the calorie count though. When I use it the calorie count shows different then the treadmill shows. I'm not sure what one is more accurate. The heart rate seems very close to my blood pressure/heart rate monitor. For the price it is well worth it.
