1. Love The Monitor...and The Service is Premo!! Review by Gideon

   I only needed a basic HRMonitor that would give me feedback on the intensity of my workouts and Calorie Burn.. I had a one touch but the calorie burn feature seemed to be a bit High. It obviously used an average weight in it's calculation formula because there was no input for Weight. .. It was a gift so I wasn't complaining.
   
   I started a really extreme 90day Fitness Program that Included A Nutrition plan and online support so I Really Wanted something that Calculated a More taylored calorie burn. I was on a budget so value for price were important as well.
   
   I called Heartmonitors and spoke with Chris for about 20 Minutes..
   For my need and budget I had a few Really Good Choices.. I opted for the Timex.
   Good Call on my part, but I wouldn't have been able to make an informed Decision Without Chris and Teresa's Help. Teresa even opened a box for me to inspect some details that I couldn't tell by the Photos.. Great Attitude overall Incredible service.
   I ordered it one day and had it in my hands the following morning. All that for Free shipping!
   
   -Several things I like...
   -The monitor itself is pretty intuitive on setup..
   -I love not having to stop and touch a button to check my HR.
   - I have much more confidence in the Calorie burn Numbers now that they are customized to My stats.
   -I like the fact that I can program in my own Max heart Rate and not have to depend on some formula based on Age that May or May not be a true max heart rate.
   Since I had a Stress test I know My true max and I can program that in and workout at peak levels.
   - I also like the Manual Zone Feature. Since I have a lot of HIIT in my fitness regiment, it's nice knowing I can plug in a specific Zone and not be limited to a certain pre-set range for the alarms..
   -The pre-set ranges- these are nice if I'm doing plain Cardio or running and there are 5 Pre-programmed alarms that cover just about every other need to taylor a routine...
   
   I only have one concern at this point and that is the fact that the start button is on the Bezel of the watch and I had problems with accidental Pressing on my old one. With this one however, the Stop button is on the side I don't anticipate any issues with this one.
   
   That's about it.. Great Features Usability.....incredible support..and Online Fitness tool too.
   
   Add to all that, the ability to expand the capabilities with a data recorder that can be downloaded to your computer and It all adds up to a Great Value.
   
   Take Care! (Posted on 3/19/09)
