The best strapless heart rate monitor I’ve found so far…
By Pamski
This was a pleasant surprise! I actually went to a local store to check out the Mio heart rate monitors, but found them disappointing. They either never gave a reading, or they gave readings that conveyed my prompt hospitalization was required. (Maybe the feeling of annoyance at being hindered or criticized they caused had elevated my heart rate to 194, but I doubt it.) I was just with regards to to settle for a monitor with a strap before the clerk brought out this gem.

The Bowflex, however, is very easy to use and had features I didn’t suppose to see on a monitor at this price:

1) While it has two sensors to touch for a reading, I have found that pressing the bottom sensor is genuinely enough, and easier, if you are on the move.

2) If you enter your age, gender and weight, it will calculate your minimum and greatest or most complete or best possible heart rate for you, or you may input them manually.

3) I didn’t suppose the pedometer at all! I haven’t played with it much yet, but it seems simple sufficient to use. I don’t know how precise it is, being on the wrist rather of the hip. I’ll update this later after I’ve tinkered with it a bit.

4) For a monitor watch without a chest strap, it is astoundingly exact (I checked it versus a blood pressure/heart rate monitor at home, and it stayed within +/- 4 BPM).

Technically it’s unisex and it’s not a dainty thing, but I have an intermediate female frame and I don’t find it uncomfortable or clunky. I at last purchased it from the local seller, because they were running a special better than the prices here on Amazon (it does happen). But even at around $70.00 it’s a steal, equated to pricier brands that don’t carry out as well.

UPDATE:
Result of my preliminary test of the pedometer: It’s awesome! Just walked home from a coffee shop and it accurately recorded the distance (0.5 miles). My number of steps, calories burned (I assume based upon my weight and gender), and intermediate speed were all available at the touch of a button. I will retest it later in the week with my GPS to compare speed and distance.

Confusing
By C. Ryan
There is much to like when it comes to this pedometer. It is priced somewhat for the amount of functiopnality and once you get the stride settings correct, it does a good occupation of tracking distance. Also, the heart rate montitor seems to be very accurate. However, I have one major issue. To me, it is too perplexed to reset and figure out what you are doing. I need to fetch the instructions with me each time. In other words, it is not intuitive or in particular user friendly. I would gladly sacrifice 20% of the functionality for ease-of-use.

Couldn’t keep pedometer working.
By Runner Girl
I in truth liked the product WHEN it worked, but the pedometer would shut itself off in the middle of a run or walk. I thought it was the battery, so I had a new one put in, but it continued to shut itself off. When it shut itself off, it would reset all the settings including the date and time, so I would have to reset everything again. Finally, I sent it back and requested another one, hoping I just got a faulty one. The new one arrived and worked great for a couple of weeks, then started doing the same thing. I started to send it back, but my time had run out and I would have only gotten a partial refund, so I now have a $69 watch/stopwatch not good for much else.
