The only reason i purchased this watch is because of the heart rate monitor. If i wanna know how long i have ran, i could simply use any watch. I dont really care about the distance and calories and all those useless stuffs. So i put on the heart rate monitor. You have to wrap this monitor around your chest tightly otherwise it will fell off. When it’s tight, you just dont feel comfortable(Imagine wrapping a rubber band tightly to your wrist, how does it feel?In this case, the front heart monitor is made up of hard plastics and it is a pain in the chest) . Ok, to the main point. In order to read the heart rate, you have to put the watch 3 meters in range with the heart monitor. And the heart rate is inaccurate. I can bear with the uncomfortable heart rate monitor, but at least make it accurate! The heart rate goes down while i was doing exercise. The number just jumps up and down while i was doing nothing. This is an expensive watch and thing carefully before buying. Its heart rate monitor is a failure.

Everything else is great so far, but like many others have said, the satellite reading is really slow. WHen i first got this, i turned it on and it was searching for the satellite for like 15 minutes, and still searching. SO i decided to go outside the street. I took a walk for a few minutes and it is still searching. OMG. I went back inside my house and guess what, it found the satellite. I hope it wont take it that long to search for satellite when i actually use it for running. I will try the heart monitor, but i doubt it will be any where near accurate.
