Unlike the last reviewer, I did receive the correct color. It is a nice feminine watch and very comfortable (MUCH more so than the Mio classic, which is too bulky for me, a woman). The pros are that it is comfortable and feminine looking. the cons are that it is not as accurate (it is always off by about 4 beats per minute on the heart rate), and it gets stuck in modes (you are supposed to be able to press the mode button and hold to get out of other modes, but mine gets hung up). So, I only use the heart rate monitor. The Mio was easier to set without directions. I had to use the directions for this, and it was a bit complicated (especially since it got stuck in modes). So, pros and cons, and I will wear mine some for comfort, but sacrifice the accuracy for it. It is fairly consistently low, though, so I can just add about 4 beats to the reading. It is nice to be able to use just one finger, and the thumb is almost as accurate as the "pointer" finger, which makes it more comfortable to get a reading from. The display is also easy to read, including the seconds (fairly large).
I do believe the black would be masculine enough for a man. The blue is very feminine, though.
Update: I have worn it a few times more now, and for some reason it is more accurate then when I first got it. It is only off by 2 beats per minute compared with the elliptical I use. I do like that it is almost as accurate using your thumb, which is much easier to push it with on an elliptical or walking.... I BOUGHT A REEBOK FITWATCH AFTER REVIEWING THIS ONE AND LIKE IT A LOT BETTER!IT IS SMALLER AND ALMOST AS ACCURATE.
