The monitoring capabilities are perfect, for me it works flawlessly. The flaw of the device is the way it mounts on the strap. It needs considerably amount of strength that may damage the pins holding the connector in place, many people report broken ones from the 1st usage. In my case, i was lucky so far but i can definitely understand what they mean, if you try to remove it with the necessary force it can absolutely damage the connectors.
I've had it for a month, i love the fact you can use it wout your phone, but wish you could start and stop it from the hr monitor not the phone, only issue i have is that when using it on a run, it has a tendency to put you at your step goal for the day without even finishing a work out. It being rechargeable and removable is a plus. Happy with the purchase.
I got the HRM 600 to replace my HRM Pro that ended its life. I have used the 600 for a couple of weeks now and it has worked without issue. I really appreciate the replaceable strap and I am happy I can charge this unit. I no longer need to replace the battery. The fit and finish is perfect and I would highly recommend this product.
The HRM 600 is an excellent monitor but it's the data it offers that make it so useful. The information helps you to adjust your workouts and to see measurable progress. It's allowing me to really get my workouts to build toward my race day with very little trouble. I would recommend this HRM to anyone serious about training or wanting to understand more of what their body is doing.
Hello all, Honestly saying I am disappointed. Premium level HRM monitor with old fashion sensor fixing solution. Also, deattaching of sensor isn’t easy job. I almost damaged my nail and finger start bleeding. Fixing parts on strap slightly bent. It’s not written in instruction that sensor shall be deattached with any supporting tools. First impression was very negative and I was really disappointed that top cost product has such quality. You shall challenge your engineers to deliver better solutions

I'm sorry to hear that was troubling to remove the sensor. I've linked instructions below for removal of it in order to charge it. http://ms.spr.ly/6428sOTzu
