I loved the look of this watch and how it felt on my wrist. It was easy to use and had the features I needed. After 5 uses, the screen went blank, and it seemed to be dead. Although I was charging it, I kept trying to figure out why it only had 1 or 2 bars on the battery life during my runs. It wasn't charging for whatever reason, and the troubleshooting tips did not help. I received it as a Christmas gift, and sadly I had to return it. I'm really hoping it was a fluke because all my friends swear by the Garmin brand. I will be ordering another one for my upcoming race. So, we will see. see less

I already emailed Target customer service about this but I still see that the information is up. The description Target gives is not totally accurate. It says that this model displays calories burned, the main reason I was seeking to purchase a HRM. The F1 does NOT calcuate calories burned you have to go to the F4 or higher for that feature. This is not a mistake by the company Polar, because going on their website I found the correct information. Returned this one and bought the other one from Polar. Sorry Target wasn't going to buy it from you after you messed me up the first time. see less

I HAVE BEEN USING MINE FOR A WEEK AND IF IT IS USED PROPERLY THEN YOU GET AMAZING RESULTS. THE BAND HAS TO BE PUT ON TIGHT ENOUGH TO STAY ON BUT LOOSE ENOUGH TO PULL OFF AND ON WITHOUT ADJUSTING IT. I HAVE WORN MY THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND TO BED AT NIGHT. I TAKE IT OFF WHEN SHOWERING AND DOWNLOADING...AGAIN, FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND YOU GET GREAT RESULTS! see less

Very accurate, simple, easy to use. Great for tracking your cal burn all day, cal intake and sleep. This fits me comfortably. I have read the other review and i personally think they had it on to tight. you can strap this on gently and it wont fall off. I don't notice i have it on until i bump it. see less

This is the smaller, white band that is designed to be MORE comfortable, yet I could barely wear it one hour before I had to remove it. Everytime I moved my arm, something rubbed or pinched, and when I took it off, I was left with irritating red marks. I'm returning this ASAP. see less

I am very happy with my body media display. It is much smaller than I thought it would be. I have a hard time keeping it in sync for a long period of time, but it definetly does what I wanted it for. It will be useful on trips. I won't have to lug a laptop with me or download software on another computer to see how I am doing. I like it for it's portability. I think it was money well spent. see less

I love my BodyMedia Display, it works great and it's nice to know when I hit my goals without hooking up to the computer. Target.com had the best price - I researched them all. see less

I love having the display for my arm unit - it displays (almost) real time - transmitting the info from the armband to the display every few minutes. Audibly signals when my "goal" steps or activity is met (based on my on-line parameters that I set). I have used the "old" set for years, upgraded to the new set after I accidentally washed my old unit, of which the old display didn't work with the new armband. I use as a watch as I purchased the watchband separately (again, years ago but it was able to be used with this new unit). I highly recommend for immediate feedback of your progress. see less

This is a great stopwatch for the money. I work in a psychological testing department and we use stopwatches a lot. This has worked perfectly for us! see less

If there was a number I could call to ask a question on how to work this stopwatch, I would greatly appreciate it. If I can't get anyone to explain to me, I'll just sell it. see less

I bought the stopwatch and was surprised when a few days later I found the faceplate had shrunk and pulled off the stopwatch. [...] [manufacturer] was kind enough to send a replacement and acknowledged that the faceplate will shrink when exposed to heat. It was 93 degrees in Phoenix over the weekend... something tells me they will need to send out a lot replacements. Buyer beware. see less

What a disappointment. Pulse monitor doesn't work. No manual. Not going to like this one. see less

Like other folks, this pedometer was not accurate in tracking my steps. Also, after one day I dropped it on the floor while trying to secure it to my waistband, and it completely stopped working. What a waste of money. see less

It resets itself. I walked over 3 miles I know and it only counted 125 steps. The Pulse reader does not work. I thought new balance was a good product but just because the name is on the product does not mean a thing. I am taking it back even if I just get a credit. I would not recommend purchasing it. see less

I really like my new pedometer. It's sturdy and accurate! The only think is, I wish it had an off switch to save battery power and I wish the biggest button was the distance button and not the reset button! see less

I love this pedometer. It is small and yet durable and reliable. The price is good and it has worked well for several months. see less

I bought one of these for my uncle who is 85 and lives in California. He walks all over town and wanted to know the mileage he was covering and the # of steps it took to get there. I also bought one for my mom (88) who had broken both of her hips at one point and still gets around but at a slower pace. She just wanted to count the number of steps she took. I bought 2 others at a local Target store. One for my oldest daughter who is into getting and staying in shape. She got the one with steps, distance and calories burned. And lastly I got one for myself because I just wanted to know how much ground I covered at work each day. So you see! It was a great gift and so each to purchase online and have mailed to the different parties. Thanks! see less

After reading so many different reviews on other HR/Pedo watches, this one was the only one that got all good reviews. I got it and have been using it for 2 weeks now and all the features seem to work really well. For distance tracking it is pretty accurate. HR monitoring I can't seem to get a reading while jogging or if I'm really sweating. My only problem is the distance tracking doesn't monitor well while jogging with a stroller. Since the tracking is meant to read the swinging motion on the arm. But it definitely does everything I want it to and I am really happy with this watch. see less

Simple to use. Seems accurate. I ran it against my Nike app. There was only a small difference, but I had my stride distance off. Now that I have corrected that, they should be spot on. So, my advice is to make sure you get that in correctly. Also, you do have to stop or walk to get the heart rate to register when you take it. You can't be jogging or running. It only takes a few seconds, so just slowing down to a walk for a few seconds, didn't interfere with my run. If you want to know what mph you are running, be sure to check it as you are running. It doesn't retain that number once you have stopped. I've only used it once, but I think I am going to be very pleased with this item. I just needed something for distance, time, and calories. Oh! And it's also a watch. So you could wear it all the time if you wanted to. see less

Owned the Forerunner 405 and was looking for something simplier and less finicky. Thought I found it...I was wrong. The second time I connected it to my computer for download, the watch face went completely blank. Followed the owner's manual to reset by holding the "light" button. That did nothing. About 12 hours later, it mysteriously came back to life. It died again last night. I think it's dead for good. Too bad, this watch is easy to use and looks and feels like a regular watch. I wasn't going to go Garmin again after the 405, I did, and I really regret it. I've learned my lesson. see less

The Garmin worked fine for the first run I recorded. Now Garmin Connect refuses to recognize my device and when I try to record a run, the device says "Memory full" even though there could only be one run recorded on it. Don't waste your money. see less

I bought this about a week ago. My step-dad installed it and it works great. I love seeing my speed, distance etc. The only issue I've had is that the manual says to reset distance you hold down both buttons for 3 seconds, that will reset the entire computer. You need to just hold down the left button. see less

I bought this for my school bikeathon but it's a little hard to set up & it dosent tell you some things that could make a big difference. But when we got it all set up then it worked fine. see less

I bought this for the porpuse of installing it to my Razor scooter but unluckily the wire is short. It cannot reach to the handle bar. Also, there is no code list for 10 inches wheel. I know this is good for the bike with 20 inches wheel and above. see less

I bought this pedometer because I wanted to keep track of my daily steps for weight loss purposes. I know it's not accurate (mine counts more steps than I've walked) but it's good enough for what I need it for and it at least gives me an idea of where I'm at. I knew when I bought it that it wasn't going to be 100% accurate but you can't expect a [$] pedometer to be perfect. If it was important to me to know exactly how many steps I'm walking, I would have done some research and bought a more expensive one. Would I recommend it? Probably not but like I said it's good enough for me. see less

This pedometer is complete junk. It counts 3-5 times the steps I actually take. It's going back to the store. see less

This product is really sensitive and gives inaccurate amount steps. But the most annoying thing is it operates on a "weight" system by that I mean that a weight is inside it and every time you take a step or move at all you can hear the weight sliding around. It was annoying. see less

I bought this thinking it would actually Do what it said it did on the box. I read all directions and set it up the night before the gym. As soon as I got there, I started walking, then tapped to get my heart rate after 10 min. All I saw was a heart symbol flashing repeatedly like it was trying to read but couldn't. I tried 7 or 8 times. I even stopped my workout and put my finger on the sensor. Still just a flashing heart. I worked out for an hour, the stupid thing STILL read 0 calories burned. After that I took it off and carried it through the gym the rest of my work out. Then took it back. [...] see less

I wish I could say that I have had an overwhelmingly positive experience with Garmin products, but this has not been the case.I have a Forerunner 405 which worked well when it worked but had to be replaced 3 times in just over a year.My wife has a different brand which she got for less but which has longer battery life and is solid as a rock. I have had 4 Garmin devices over the same period of time.Garmin needs to seriously step up its quality control before I will ever purchase another one of their products. see less

I purchased this watch in January of 2009 and used it for 85 days and a button on the watch was stuck in place so the watch didn't perform correctly. I sent this back to Garmin to have my watch repaired or replaced and they actually sent me someone else's refurbished watch. I called and complained to have a new watch sent to me considering that I just spent dollars on a new watch three months ago and they told me that is standard procedure to send out a newly refurbished watch in the replacement. What kind of company does that? I paid for a new watch and it malfunctioned so I expected to have it fully replaced with a new watch. I have yet to receive my new watch. I also had to pay for shipping twice to return the watches which resulted in and was told that I will not be reimbursed. The watch shouldn't have malfunctioned only after three months and I understand these things happen but to send me a used watch in its place....unacceptable! see less

I've had a heart rate monitor watch for a while now, but the strap is very uncomfortable. I decided to try this one out. Unfortunately, I didn't realize it doesn't have a pedometer, which was something I was really looking for. Normally I wouldn't rate a product fewer stars for my reading error, but overall, I feel this product is overpriced for what it does offer. It just has a heart rate monitor, exercise timer, and calorie burn counter. So that's one star off. In order to count the calories burned, you have to keep checking your heart rate. I'm skeptical as to the accuracy of this number, as it said I burned 100 more calories than is typical for someone my weight doing the exercise. That's another star. Finally, and most importantly, the touch screen really doesn't like to work! I can't get one of the "buttons" to register most of the time, and getting the watch to unlock takes many tries. Overall, I would not recommend this purchase. I will be returning this watch soon. see less

So, I've had this watch a ... see more

So, I've had this watch a few weeks and waited to review until now. I'm using this watch for fitness. I love this watch. It's reliable and durable. The strap is very comfortable. In response to those who have written that the nodules pop off of the strap, I can only guess that they may have been a little rough on the strap. Now, it does have a tricky catch to help it stay in place, so I could see how it would break if you yank it ... however, if you pay attention, you'll be fine. The watch itself is very comfortable as well. I definitely suggest turning off the top of the hour chime to conserve battery life. If you're thinking about buying it, do it--it offers the same features as other much more expensive watches at a fraction of the cost. And to boot, it looks good and fits well for a woman's wrist. see less

I have had a [...] heart rate monitor for years (5+) and after 2 battery changes, the watch battery is dead again and the chest strap broke. So I did a lot of research in search of a new heart rate monitor, which I find to be a great motivator to get me to work out consistently and at the right intensity to meet my weight loss goals. I wanted a monitor that would work reliably but also look good and not be too bulky. I had it narrowed down to the[...] but when I saw the New Balance N4 for women, I just loved the look more. Not knowing too much about it and after reading the few reviews I was able to find about it, I decided to take a chance and bought it. I have loved it from day 1! It is easy to program, easy to use, good looking, comfortable and reliable. My biggest concern was interference; I used to have some issues with my [...] with interference from my [mp3]. This was not the case here. The N4 continues to provide consistent readings while I wear my iPhone and the readings were also picked up by the hi-tech workout equipment at my local gym. The watch looks good by itself so it's like getting 2 products in one. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking to purchase a heart rate monitor. see less

This heart rate monitor does everything! It tells you when and how long you are in the fat burning zone, calories burned, timer, alarm, regular watch. And the face is large so you can see the info while working out. In this price range, it is the best. Not complicated at all!! see less

This is a great watch if you want a heart rate monitor but I accidentally purchased this one and thought it was a pedometer, calorie counter, length of run monitor as well. see less
