    Costumer Testimonials

    I'm pretty new to operating and wanted a rather simple device that would tell me the time and distances I'm running when I'm outdoors.

    This watch is brilliant! It's so easy to use, and does precisely what I wanted. The bundle I purchased consists of the watch itself, a footpod, a heart rate monitor and a USB factor to enable data to be transferred to a Computer. I doubt that I will use the HR monitor or the USB factor in the near future.

    The 'Virtual Partner' is superb enjoyable, and makes it possible for you to set a target time per mile, and the watch will then show you no matter whether you happen to be behind or ahead of your virtual partner, who is shown as a small running man. It's a good way to push you that tiny bit harder, and frankly highly satisfying when you finish ahead of him

    The watch is a good compact size but with an hassle-free to read dial, and the footpod is little. It's fully unobtrusive when it is attached to a shoe.

    The only difficulty I had was initially acquiring the watch and footpod to recognise every single other (or pair up). I tried it a number of occasions with both the watch and the footpod sitting next to every single other at many locations/distances apart, but the watch kept saying 'SDM not found'.

    Following a bit of investigation on the world-wide-web, I realised that you have to be wearing the watch and the footpod, and you have to have to take a couple of methods for the watch to connect with the footpod. They connected in just a couple of seconds.

    Soon after that, I was away and running. Highly advised!

    This HRM gets the job completed. It is not super intuitive and I've had to appear on the forum and call Garmin to figure out the education pages etc.

    Also, the plastic chest strap is not a outstanding fit. I have the strap as tight as it can go and occasionally I have to hold it to my chest for an correct reading.
