 Not perfect, but not bad August 19, 2008
Won't always give a reading and not as convenient to use as some, but not too bad for the price.
 Easy to use, works well for me August 16, 2008
I wanted a quick way to measure my heart rate while walking for exercise - this does the job well. I like that it is accurate while not having to wear an uncomfortable chest strap. I can easily wear this whenever I go walking (even for a lunchtime walk at work) to keep my heart rate in the target zone (the watch sets a target zone and flashes with an L or H if your heart rate is too low or high). I have never had a problem with the watch not measuring my heart rate by pressing two fingers on the buttons - it has worked every time. I take my heart rate while walking fast - no need to stop.
I also use the timer to keep track of the length of my walk. I have not used the calorie calculator, so I cannot assess that feature.
The reason I considered this watch in the first place is that it is fairly small and fits small wrists. My wrist is 5.75" and there are still two slots left to adjust for even smaller wrists. It is lightweight and the plastic strap is fairly flexible. The face (15/16" glass, 1.5" across from left edge to right edge) is a nice size, still a little bulky, but it is a sport watch. The blue color is nice - not too girly like pink would be, but more stylish than black or grey.
 Easy to use product August 14, 2008
This product is simple and very nice for those who don't want to use the chest strap style monitors. I received the product from Amazon, used it a few times, and it broke. Amazon quickly and kindly exchanged my item, and I haven't had any problems with the new one.
I'm still on the fence regarding the calories burned during a workout. When I use the elliptical, the machine reads differently than my watch. The heart rate is right on though.
I would recommend this product if you are looking for an easy use, less expensive alternative. These things can get really expensive.
Reebok watch is awesome August 11, 2008
I bought this watch to help with workout and heart rate during workouts. It is great and very accurate. I would highly recommend buying.

I was never motivated to excersice, and always found an excuse, but I decided to start working out at least a little bit every day, and that is why I bought this HRM, I needed soemthing comfortable and hated the idea of wearing a strap in my chest. It turned out to be a great decision to by this HRM it is very accurate and since I wear it to work is a friendly reminder of my determination to get fit. I love it.
