EZON Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap and Digital Watch,5ATM Waterproof Fitness Tracker with HRM,Calories Burned,Stopwatch and Hourly Chime - Ideal Fitness Presents for Men and Women

This monitor excels at its core function - showing my heart rate clearly and consistently. The always-on, oversized display is perfect for quick mid-workout checks, and the instant Bluetooth connection eliminates frustrating pairing delays.

Pros -- Numbers are large and easy to see.Cons -- I wanted to like this Heart Rate Monitor --- BUT ---1- The High Rate Alarm is SO FAINT, it can be heard only if the watch is pressed against your ear.2- Has 4 buttons that all do multiple things and ARE NOT User Friendly.3- Buttons are so-so. Sometimes they work, and sometimes you need to wiggle them to hit the "sweet spot".4- In Set Up mode (entered while on the correct mode, ie Time, then pushing and holding the Light button), the numbers are big, but the prompts are tiny/worthless.5- Set up isn't easy and hitting the wrong button (which always seems to be in the way) kicks you out.6- The strap for the watch is stiff and ackward.7- Who ever designed the chest strap NEVER TRIED TO PUT ONE ON. The "latch" is VERY HARD to connect. Maybe you are suppose to connect it then slide the chest strap down over your head.8- I'm not a skinny minny, but I'm not huge either. If you are over a 42 inch chest, the strap won't fit.9- Does not Auto Start displaying Heart rate when Chest Strap is worn. You have to select that "mode".10- A Heart Rate Monitor should do one thing and do it well, namely report Heart Rate. It DOES NOT need ---a- an Alarm feature to wake you up (though given the faint chime you wouldn't hear it unless you taped the watch to your ear at night).b- a stop watch

I have been using this heart rate monitor for about a year now a few times a week. For my purposes it has just one function and it is brilliant that: it has a very big heart rate display, it stays on always, it connects immediately.I had been using a 20 year old Cateye HR monitor which finally broke and replaced it with this unit. It is similar in that it uses some old synch technology which pre-dates bluetooth and ant, etc . In fact the watch part synchs with the old chest monitor from Cateye.Perfect for someone who needs constant readout and does not want to have to connect to an app. Highly recommended for this narrow purpose. I bought second one already as a spare .

I never knew I could like a watch so much! upon looking for one to purchase and after reading many reviews, my decision was easily made as people seem to rave about this watch.

I needed a basic heart rate minitor. Once I put on the chest strap, and sync (put watch against sensor), it picks up the heart rate right away. No need to wet the sensor. The sensor and watch work just fine in the rain or when I sweated heavily on it. I have seen complaints about the loudness of the “beep”. I thought it was just fine when running (I don’t wear headphones though). I’ve used it for about 60 miles so far. You can only program one low and one high alarm setting, so if you plan to use it to force you to stay in a specific range, that may be a limitatiom because you’ll have to set it before each workout.. I just look at it from time to time and I know the numbers I am trying to hit.

I bought the EZON heart rate monitor watch primarily for the heart rate function, and that function does not work. I thought it might be weak batteries so I installed fresh batteries (at the extra cost of $25 at a jeweler), but that made no difference. The heart rate displays for a short time then disappears, and the rate that it shows is drastically low (verified by manually counting my heart rate). The clock and chronograph functions do work, but the hourly chime and alarm functions do not.

This is one of the better watches. The heart rate was accurate and the watch says charged for long periods of time. The watch is attractive and works easily. Great value for themoney.

Unfortunately cheap watch band, broken apart less than 30 days!
