Comments about Garmin FR70 Heart Rate Monitor - Men's:

i've owned this monitor for about six weeks.

two problems:

1. at first the monitor tracked my heart rate very well but now it has become sporadic, sometimes reading 20 or 30 beats per minute too high. during the course of a run it will go from too high to the correct reading to too high again, etc, etc. this problem is not caused by the strap contacts drying out as they are kept wet with sweat.

2. the "lap" function sometimes doesn't work, even when the button is pressed very hard. the "reset" function, which uses the same button, does work reliably every time.

on the positive side, the wireless monitor strap connects to the watch and begins the heart rate readout very quickly.

likewise desirable - it's very easy to download to the garmin connect site with the ant agent usb stick. the garmin connect site provides an easy and comprehensive way for me to keep track mileage, speed, heart rate and other parameters.

Comments about Garmin FR70 Heart Rate Monitor - Men's:

An all around watch packed with features. I like the style, fit, and clear display. It took me only a few minutes to set it up, wear it, and start using it. The user interface is very easy to use.

It shows two time zones, calendar date, and alarm. In the dark, the light is clear and consistent.

For fitness, it reads from the supplied heart rate belt, calculate calories, and also receives data from other ANT+ devices such as Tanita 1000 scale, bicycle speed sensor, and foot running sensor. It transmits this data wirelessly to the computer for analysis.

The battery can be replaced by the owner. Otherwise, the entire watch piece and buttons are covered with one rubber piece that makes up the wrist band. Should the band need replacement, it seems like one must replace the watch or send it to Garmin for service.

I did not want a GPS in the watch. GPS watches are generally bulkier, have shorter battery life, and 2–3 times more expensive (although there have been recent GPS models from Timex & Soleus under $100).

I wish the watch would measure heart rate while swimming. This seems a limit of the ANT+ protocol with limited broadcast distance under water for just a few inches.
