Great product, easy to use and very reliable data. The only concern is at the first 2-3 uses, the device is really tight to the strap creating a difficulty to pull away from it and causing a perceived notion that it might break by pulling. After a few uses it comes off easily.
Charge it before you attache it to the band. I’m still not able to remove it after attaching it. After multiple attempts and different people trying I have the impression that it’s going to end up breaking once removed.
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.
