Amazing HR monitor
Pros: can program training zone automatically, can program traning zone manually, nice backlight, good-looking watch, chest strap is comfy, user-repaceable batteries on watch and strap, bike mount
Cons: takes a few minutes to set up.
"I'm pretty familiar with heart rate monitors, and this one is by far the most sophisticated yet least expensive one I've owned. There are an amazing set of bells and whistles, and I'll probably only use 1/3 or less of all the capabilities. It is a tremendous value. I like the amount of customization and the options for flashing LED's and/or audible alerts for when you are out of your training zone. The backlighting is very cool as well. You do need to spend a few minutes with the manual, but if you do you'll find it's not difficult to set up. The watch is not "on" when you open up the box (which is great in terms of saving batteries). All you have to do is press the "MENU" button and you're on your way."

Excellent Monitor
Pros: big numbers, easy to read, easy data transfer
"Great heart rate monitor for the price! Extremely easy to use. The different option settings are great. Love the red/green lights to help monitor how hard you're training or not. I found the software that is included very helpful to keep track of your training sessions. The wristband is a little big but I have really small wrists. Nice storage case too."

software compatibility
Model Number: PM62
"Heart rate monitor comes with the software CD to transfer data to the computer. The software unfortunately is NOT COMPATIBLE with MAC computers. I only use Mac, so for me this function is useless, though I would really like to have possibility of storing training data on my computer."

No heart beat was detected (I am not a zombie)
Pros: good looks, feels solid
Cons: dead chest strap, too thick (a small brick?), don't jump into the pool-water pressure, too complicated (requires user guide), resetting the chronograph is non-trivial
"Yes, the watch looked sharp, a bit too thick, but it was never able to communicate with the chest strap and I have even replaced the battery, just in case.
Customer support is non-existent, I sent email and I am still waiting for a reply.
Returned it after 3 days."

Good Product
Pros: replaceable battery, monitors mulitple users
Cons: manual could be more user friendly, available in black color only
"I have owned few heart rate monitors before this. This monitor is able to pick up the signal quickly and is comfortable to wear. This has lots of function and manual can be improved bit. Uploading to PC to monitor your workout is very helpful. I wish it has option to label which excercise(jog, run, cycle...). I like the red and blue blinking light for training zone indicator."

Best for Price
Pros: stylish for a man, easy to read
Model Number: PM 62
"Just got this today, and had no-problem with it [after reading the instructione-which they recommend]. Just recently got a used PreCor treadmill, and this sinked up with out a problem. I like the versatility of being able to mount it to my stationary bike as well. Haven't used the software yet, but that will be a bonus when I get to that stage."

Good Buy but patience needed!
Pros: offers alot of features, calorie counter, lap counter, timer, memory bank, led light
Cons: not apple compatible!!!, booklet could be a little more informative
"I have had many heart rate monitors, both requiring chest strap and no chest strap. This one does require it and it is able to be picked up by all makes of machines in a gym as well as home, so that is great. The watch part is great BUT it is not so easy to set up—it offers a lot of attributes and really does give a pretty accurate reading of your workout (makes machines at the gym seem overly generous) but it does take sometime getting used to as there are quite a few features and playing with this beforehand and getting accustomed to all it has to offer is very necessary. It is great to be able to hook it up to your computer and get a reading of your daily workout. The biggest downfall of this watch is that it is not MAC/APPLE compatible...are you kidding???? In this day in age, everyone has an I-something and this couldn't be I-friendly?? I got this watch to clearly monitor my daily workouts via the computer and the USB connector tends to be very susceptible and requires multiple trials before being able to detect and log your readings, but the fact that it is not APPLE friendly is very disappointing since that is my computer and I can only access my workouts through my son's computer..how hard would it be to make a version that you can download for the MAC? If it were APPLE friendly, I would give it 5 stars...the complexity of it all does not bother me as it does offer so much and once accustomed to it, it is quite easy. I have had Polars, Schwinn, Timex and this one looks so much more hip and like a regular watch—I do receive quite a few compliments on it considering it is a HRM. The shape is intriguing and could pass as an everyday watch. Update the program, and you will have yourself a wonderful workout buddy!!"

Programming Problem
Pros: lots of features for the price, i couldn't program it
Model Number: Beurer PM 62 Heart Rate Monitor
"This monitor sounded like it was a great buy because it did a lot of things. But when I got it I couldn't program it for such simple things as date, and.time of day. I spent an hour reading the manual and trying to get it operational but finally gave up. Thanks to Costco's generous return and refund policy, it was easy to return it to a local warehouse and get my money back"

Great for the price
Pros: works as advertised, nice set of features
Cons: chest strap batteries doa
"My husband and I each bought one of these to monitor heart rate while doing our hiking, as we're supposed to keep the rate within a certain range.
For that purpose the watch/chest band work great! The chest band is pretty comfortable, be aware that a little good ol' spit works better than water to dampen the contacts though.
The watch is not hard to set up, and the "quick start" guide that came with it is pretty useful.
I just installed the software and it looks like it may be nice for tracking things such as weight, calories, total time in each heart rate zone, etc. Haven't really gotten into that yet as I just got my watch.
For ME, the watch is a little big - the strap adjusts down far enough, no problem, but of course the face itself is "man-sized" - however, it DOES make it easy to read. I like the blinking red and green LEDs which tell you when you're in and out of the proper range you've preset.
What aggravated me though was that BOTH chest strap monitors came with Sony batteries installed already - and BOTH were DOA. A small thing perhaps BUT when you're anxious to try it out, and now you gotta go get the correct cell size and install it - just disappointing. Why not ship the battery in a little pack and NOT installed so that it's making contact the whole time it's in the package?
Otherwise so far so good!"

Easy to Use
Pros: comfortable, easy to set up
Model Number: PM62
"This is my first heart rate monitor, so have nothing to compare it to. I found it easy to program and easy to use. The chest strap is comfortable, even though my sports bra sits on top of it. I only use it for timing my runs and checking my heart rate during & after running - none of the more complicated features."

1st monitor - loosing weight
Pros: great for the price, pre-set parms helped newbies
Cons: wrist stap small, tracking software is limited, takes a few min to sync chest & watch
Model Number: PM62
"this is the 1st HR monitor so can't compare to other products. The wrist stap is short - im on the last hole and its tight. It takes a few min for the chest strap & watch to sync up - im now putting on the strap as i finsihed getting ready to walk. The pre-programmed info is great for a begininer on setting target ranges etc based on age & intent. The tracking software is ok - I mis-entered some info and couldnt find a way to correct or delete it so had to completly setup a new person. overall it nice for the price."

Skip this - you get what you pay for - Get a Polar
Pros: price
Cons: bulky, hard to set up
"I purchased this after my Polar F4 battery died. I loved my Polar F4 and have had it for a few years before the battery died. Unfortunately, you have to send it back in to have the battery replaced which I didnt want to do. So, I did a lot of research and bought this thinking it might be alright. It is nothing like the Polar and I do not recommend it. It is bulky for a female and was hard to set up. I couldnt get the heart rate to show up even when wetting the sensor, right out of the box. This is not an easy or functional watch. The old addage is true - you get what you pay for. I am taking this back and will splurge on a Polar."

Not the most user friendly
Pros: lights and easy to read
Cons: not user friendly
Model Number: PM62
"It is a nice watch but not the easiest thing to use. I have gone on the website to look up instructions not in the book and there aren't any. I wrote the company asking for information and they didn't respond. I do like the red and green lights. Once you finish the fit test it would be nice to know the ranges you have."

Best HR Watch Ever
Pros: hr stays on screen, led's are very helpful, comfortable to wear, good quality, battery powered and no charging required
Cons: still requires wearing the included chest strap
Model Number: Beurer PM62
"I LOVE this watch. I used my wife's $200 watch for a few weeks, but I didn't like several of the features, so I took a chance with this one. So happy I did. The best feature is the blinking red and green LED with the beat of your HR. When I am working out, I can just quickly glance at the watch to see if my HR is in the ideal range that I am going for. Very consistent and a big help to my workouts! I love it so much, I bought one for a friend."

Grreat Heart Rate Monitor
Model Number: PM62
"The product arrived just as described with one exception. The CD with the program was missing. I contacted Costco Customer and the disk arrived within a week from the company. Monitor works just great. Easy to setup, displays results easily and information is loaded into the computer program with no difficulty. The battery in the chest strap can be replaced by the owner but the battery in the watch may have to be replaced by a watch repair or the company."
