I received this watch about seven weeks ago and was very happy with it until the blue backlight came on two days ago and would not turn itself off; the extra power consumption has worn down the battery. Even though I did not expect this Reebok Fitwatch 10S Strapless Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Blue) to do a whole lot, especially not for thirty-something dollars, I expected it to last a lot longer than two months.
Pros: 1) It gives a good ballpark of my heart rate; 2) it's water-resistant so I can wear it when swimming; 3) you can program it to give you your target heart range; 4) it's not important to me but it was nice to have a calorie-burning function.
Cons: 1) it's rather bulky- it's a problem when I wear long-sleeved clothes, and I have to take it off whenever I get on the computer; 2) the number of calories burned is based on the last reading you did, so if your last heart rate measurement was, say, 150 bpm, the calorie-burning feature bases its numbers on the 150 bpm, not your current rate; 3) the backlight came on and stayed on.
Overall, it did what I wanted it to do, which was to measure my heart rate and is water-resistant. It would have been nice if it did it for a lot longer than two months. I am getting an exchange, so I'll see if the new one does the same thing. Get more detail about Reebok Fitwatch 10S Strapless Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Blue).
