Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Could be better Comment: I got this watch because I like the look of it and it got good reviews. I primarily needed a heart monitor and all the reviews said that it worked well but is a little big. I like the design of it, but the heart monitor is very impractical. I have to hold my fingers on the monitor to get a reading and half the time I never even get one. It is so frustrating to hold the button down for 30 seconds and never get a reading. I am a runner and wanted to know my heart rate during runs, but there is no practical way to get a reading while running and even when I come to a dead stop and try to get a reading it will not take one until my heart rate has slowed way down. It completely defeats the purpose. I've attempted to use this watch for over a month and I haven't gotten an accurate reading yet if my heart rate is above 160. It is also very difficult to go from the stopwatch timer to looking at what time it is. You have to take your heart rate and then press mode, which wouldn't be so bad if the heart rate monitor actually worked! I think I am going to sell it because it isn't worth the trouble. If you are doing very light exercise and have all day to wait to find out your heart rate or if you just want to know how many calories you are burning then this watch is for you. Otherwise, don't waste your money. Customer Rating: Summary: Love my pink heat rate monitor! Comment: I was looking for a heart rate monitor that didn't have a chest strap and was so glad to find this one. It is a bit larger than a normal watch, but that's because it doesn't need a chest strap. It also doesn't give you a constant reading of your heart rate and therefore calories burned are only an estimate based on the time elaspsed and your current heart rate. I find that it's still acurate and helps me to keep my heart rate in the target range and giving me a good picture of how many calories I've burned. Besides - it's pink and supports breast cancer research! Customer Rating: Summary: Disappointed with the strap Comment: I purchased this item primarily for the pink and black strap (as opposed to the other colors available for this item from Amazon). I had read the reviews that said the strap was for small wrists, which I have, but, the strap is SO SMALL that only a child or a teen could comfortably wear it. (And I don't know of any children or teens who care enough about their heart rate to spend $50 on *this* watch.) I can't imagine what the mfr was thinking. The watch itself is okay. The heart rate monitor is super easy to use, but the set up and entry buttons are a little awkward -- it's much easier to do it if you're not wearing the watch, which, if you're using the calorie counter throughout the day, is a pain. Customer Rating: Summary: Love this product! Comment: I wanted a watch that could count calories and keep tract of how many calories I was burning in a workout. This watch does just that. It is very easy to use and unlike other reviews I have seen.....this watch DOES let you enter as many meals as you have, it doesnt limit you to 3 imputs of calories per day. You do have to reset the calories each day but that is super easy. The other thing I like about the watch is that it comes with a book that recommends how many calories you should be eating to loose weight but it is totally up to you as to what you put your calorie intake into the watch. The last thing I thought was cool is that you get this mini book you can keep with you that has a ton of common foods listed and what their calories are, its a great quick reference tool and its small! Customer Rating: Summary: Good but you should know Comment: I have read the other reviews for several Mio strapless heart rate watches and I have basicly the same experience and positive review. Very good product but your body must be still to get your heart rate and wait about 6 seconds (this is why only 4 stars rating). It reads out the HR and the percent of max. However, it won't display anywhere what your personal max rate it is using. You most do some math yourself to find what number the Mio is using. I want to know because I know what target I should be using for my circumstances. Your max HR is different for land based x, shallow water x, and deep water x. I do all three forms of exercise. For some you maybe interested to know the second black/pink band that comes with the package is smaller and fits only the smallest of wrists. More Reviews
