The monitor has a programmable heart rate zone with audible and visual alarms to alert you when you get out of zone, plus a settable alarm if you have a maximum rate you should not exceed. Made from durable plastic and fully water-resistant, the device also features regular watch functions, plus a 100-hour stopwatch and countdown timer. It comes with a complete walking and exercise guide and one-year warranty.
About Reebok
Reebok's United Kingdom-based ancestor company was founded for one of the best reasons possible: athletes wanted to run faster. So, in the 1890s, Joseph William Foster made some of the first known running shoes with spikes in them. By 1895, he was in business making shoes by hand for top runners; and before long his fledgling company, J.W. Foster and Sons, developed an international clientele of distinguished athletes. In 1958, two of the founder's grandsons started a companion company that came to be known as Reebok, named for an African gazelle.
Reebock Fitwatch
This was a gift for my wife. She is very happy with the watch. It took her a while to learn how to illuminate the face in low light conditions, but that is no longer an issue. She uses the watch on aerobic machines and tells me it would be easier to use if the finger pads were at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions rather than the 12 and 6 positions. Overall she is quite pleased with the product.
I like it
I like this because I don't have to wear the chest strap. It doesn't take continuous heart rate, but I've found it sufficient for my needs. I can still take my pulse without really stopping what I'm doing. I also like that I can set a custom range to set my goal heart rate in during a work out so that I can make sure I stay in that range without having to remember all the numbers or count by hand. I also like the blue, very pretty for an exercise watch.
Good Purchase for the money
works good for the money spent. It worked perfect everytime that I pushed the buttons, now that I have had it a few weeks sometines it will not read and I have to retry 2-3 times to get it to read.
Nice item for the money
Ok as a watch, bad as a HRM
This watch works fine and all the other features seem to be great, but as a HRM it simply doesn't do the job I need! In one 45 minute session on an elliptical it thought I burned 700+ calories, while the machine and another heart rate monitor both read as me burning about 250. I got this for Christmas otherwise I would have been shopping for a HRM with a chest strap like the Polar F6, which I will probably buy soon.
Inadequate stopwatch
The stopwatch feature on this watch does not allow one to record times for splits. For my wife, this is an essential feature in a running watch. Other potential purchasers might not have a problem with this.
The heart rate measuring function works sometimes, not always.
