This is a great product, it takes all the data and works perfectly, the display is good is just that some people is stupid and think that is going to come with neon light or something that that is why they give bs of the display but is very good.
In these days of simplicity and excellent User Interface design, this product looks like it’s out of the dark ages.
Even a basic function such as setting the time on the watch was non-intuitive and the documentation is very poor. It took two of us 15 minutes to figure out how to set the time. My wife said “I think I’ll throw this thing out and buy a Garmin!!”
As others have said, the watch is hard to read even before dripping sweat makes for blurry vision.
Not recommended, even to people (like us) used to coping with technology.
I love the watch so far, but I have a couple questions:
How can I view my calories burned during my working? I can only see calories burned in the summary after I exit the workout. I try to burn a certain amount and I have no way of knowing where I am at.
Second, if I am at the gym I run then go lift weights, how do I turn off the footpod function but keep the heartrate monitor going? When I turn off the footpod and continue to workout the watch yells at me and says Check Footpod! I dont need the footpod function while lifting weights but I still want to monitor my the rest of my workout.
For those of you who cant see the font on the screen just hold down the up or down botton to zoom into whatever feature you have displayed on the screen.
Help me!

It’s mostly user friendly, although, I’m sure I’m only using about 5% of it’s capibilities. With that being said, it has improved my work outs 10 fold. Tracking your HRT zones, lets your body tell you how hard you are working out, not your mind. Need to keep the strap tight during aqua type workouts, otherwise, it tends to loosen easier, and you will not get good readings. Other than that, I LOVE IT! Would reccommend it to anyone. The best part is, it works(readsout) with most all “workout” machines so you can just have a quick look on the machine and know where you are at.
It works great, but I really don’t like Polar design….but it is a excelent product.
