I used this item for about a week when the chest strap quit transimitting. Not happy about that.The watch was easy to setup and it immediately detected the chest strap. My data logger also detected the chest strap. As mentioned, the chest strap quick working after about a week. Changed the battery to no avail. Tested both batteries with a volt meter and they were up to snuff. Put one of the batteries into my old Oregon Scientific chest strap and the watch detected that signal, as did the data logger.
I also didn't like the latch for the chest strap. It kept coming undone. Seems to be poorly made when compared to my old unit.
2 stars because the watch works but no more than that because without the chest strap it isn't fully functional.
Maybe I got a bad one. Hope I can return it for a replacement, or better yet a credit.
