A 44-year-old woman that trying to increase her overall fitness level writes this review.I have used a number of different pedometers in the past and have been dissatisfied with my purchases.I purchased this product because I liked the fact that this pedometer would allow me to monitor my pulse.I find my heart rate monitor to be annoying and a sweat magnet around my torso and was looking for a more simple solution.I have summarized my observations of this product below:
Pros:
1.The pulse monitor appears to be accurate and is fairly quick to (under 5 seconds) give a reading
2.The step counter is more accurate than pedometers I have had in the past
3.Comes with a second button battery
4.Allows you to program in your age, sex, weight so that it can more accurately calculate your calories
5.Reasonably small size
6.Easy to zero out the counters to begin the day
7.Has a clock function which is handy if you don't wear your watch all the time
Cons:
1.You can't put this item in your pocket and get an accurate reading (mine stopped counting, apparently one of the buttons was accidentally depressed in my pocket)
2.Programming is tedious and not intuitive, you need to use the directions
3.Directions could be more clear
Overall I recommend this product to anyone that is looking for a pedometer and a pulse monitor.It is not the perfect solution, but it is a fairly good solution.
