excellent for the price
I have found this heart rate monitor to be an immensely helpful and affordable piece of equipment, which does exactly what it says on the tin: measures your heart rate whilst exercising. It doesn't have as many fancy additions as some HR monitors but, for many runners (or other sportsmen or women) they just want a simple, inexpensive gadget to measure their heart rate, the time they've been exercising and that's it. I've found there is a big gap in the market where this is concerned, with most sports watches and the like being obscenely expensive.My advice would be to look after it carefully as it is a delicate piece of equipment and, as other reviewers have said, it can break relatively easily. I have had it for a number of months, however, and have had no problems whatsoever. It is also important to wet the chest strap before fixing it in place (I think it aids conductivity, or something!). If you don't do this it's difficult to pick up a signal, otherwise it's fine. The signal also transfers to the HR monitor on gym equipment such as treadmills, so there's no need to use the unreliable handgrips to see how hard you're pushing your heart. I find it very important to know my heart rate when exercising, so I know whether to push myself harder or take it easy. It's also good for measuring your resting heart rate to see if your heart is becoming more efficient.All in all, an effective, simple and affordable piece of equipment which no runner should be without. Highly recommended.

Good Value
This product was very cheap compared to other chest belt operated heart rate monitors. The chest belt's signal can be picked up by standard gym equipment, so a lot of the time you don't need the watch part of it. There are no issues with its operation, except for the backlight which doesn't work and I think that's because the battery is low (as received from Amazon). Even though the battery CR 2032 is cheap I'm reluctant to try and change it because it could easily make the watch non waterproof. To have it changed professionally would cost about £16 to include a waterproof guaranty. At the moment I'm not sending it back because I only paid £18 for it.I've replaced the battery now, it cost me £7, to have a shop do it, but they wouldn't guarantee it waterproof. It's not just having the monitor in water that might be compromised by this, quite often in the gym if you are working hard, sweat can get into the monitor through a bad seal, especially if the monitor is under a garment.The backlight now works Ok, but I wonder if the big button on the front of the watch that operates it is sensible. Possible that tight clothing might cause it to actuate, so draining the battery.

If I were only 2/3 my height
This is a great simple device. It's annoying to set up just like an old school digital watch but once it's going it should just work, right? Well mostly right. It works unless my arm is fully extended. To get an accurate reading, I have to hold my wrist up, wait for it to sync (maybe 5-10 secs), otherwise it's all over the place. It's happily announced my death several times.It seems like at 6' my arms are a little too long. I'm sure it worked fine for the people testing it in China. If they tested it. It will probably work fine for you too, if you are smaller than me.

Cheap watch, but hearthrate monitor isn't working and batteries are flat
Bought this one on of these "sales" events on Amazon. Paid 20€, which is ok for a cheap watch to wear while cycling.Came with flat batteries (see other reviews, this seems common practice). So add cost of batteries...Tried to get the heartrate monitor to work. Sometimes it does, most of the time... it doesn't. Manuel is useless and very confusing.Conclusion : ok if you want a cheap watch that you won't care about if it breaks (e.g. when you fall with the bike :) ), but crap for the hearth monitor. Polar is much better, but costs way too much (cause it has too many features I don't need). Gave it 2 stars because it is cheap.

Check the batteries 🤔
Unfortunately both the watch and transmitter batteries were flat. Replaced both and a pointto note is once the back is off the watch there are 2 more screws holding the battery casing in. Once up and running got a good signal from the strap to the watch by placing the transmitter just to the right of centre of the chest. If you need a good quality no frills monitor this is the one to go for.

The backlight button doesn’t work.
I ordered this to use in a spin class where the lights are dim. It worked fine except for the backlight, which didn’t work at all. When I returned it I was offered a refund, but not a replacement, so I re-ordered it. It was a little more expensive from a different seller. When it arrived, just like the first one, the backlight button had no effect except to temporarily stop the monitor. I shall keep it, as it’s still good value, but the lack of a backlight, and the fact that it wasn’t just one faulty unit but presumably a whole batch, is disappointing.Update two days later. The second one has stopped working altogether. Amazon really shouldn’t be selling these.

Disappointing
I just wanted a basic monitor to fasten the the handlebars of my bike I use on the turbo trainer. The Heart rate display worked fine, but when I pressed the back light button the whole display disappeared. OK, not really a problem as I didn't really need the back light function. I left the watch fastened to the bike handlebars via the mount provided after my turbo session. When I returned to the bike the following day, the strap had snapped. The thing has now gone to be recycled. Suggest it would be best to look elsewhere.

Simple, reliable, robust heart monitor/watch
Simple, reliable, robust heart monitor/watch. No need to carry a paired smartphone either. I particularly like the way it can be strapped to bicycle handlebars - very clever. It's a shame these apparently are out of production.
