The product came DOD ( dead on delivery). Looks like nobody's checking a product before shipping. Will return it back for refund. Very unhappy :((((
Two is a charm

i read the reviews on here and was a bit skeptical about people having problems....for a while, anyway. i usually get lucky, so i figured....why not? well, i did not get too lucky. After the first week the finger touch monitoring worked about once every 20x and the chest strap was useless.
needless to say, i sent it back to amazon....awesome. . they sent me a new one before i even got the old one back. the new watch has been absolutely perfect. no problems whatsoever, and absolutely accurate. if you like the features, give it a shot, you can always get a hassle free replacement if there is an issue!
Works as promised

I purchased this model because I like the flexibility of being able to check my heart rate with or without the chest strap. I use it before getting out of bed to check my resting heart rate. It comes with a chest strap that has a user replaceable battery using a standard CR2032 battery.
The reason for only four stars is that it took three tries, first through an ebay seller that would time out most of the time, then the first one purchased from Amazon was dead, before getting one that works out of the box. Amazon customer service is great though. They advanced replaced it without billing my credit card a second time. Amazon also provided a refund for a recent price reduction. Finally, I also wished they included some of the weight management features like on the new Motiva, Drive and Breeze models.
Do not reccomend

It simply does not work consistantly. It will just annoy you. The readings; if you get one, will sometimes be 200+. This would mean your heart is going to explode at any second. It will then throw off the averages of you workout and render readings calculated useless.
It does work well when resting or lower readings, but that is not why I need it. I tried two and had the same result for both. I still use it, but it just for the basic functions (i.e stopwatch). I contacted Mio (not where I bought it) and got advice from the Tech. that didn't work or apply.
Very Poor on performance and service 2006-08-17
The watch is not accurate at all. Most of the time, when using a strap it doubles my heart rate.
I called customer service twice and have sent two emails - there is no response.
I do not recommend this product or company.
