GB11498 Heart Rate Monitor Watch w/ Wireless Transmitter GB11498 Heart Rate Monitor Watch w/ Wireless Transmitter

Pros: Cost and functionality

Cons: None that I came up with

Other Thoughts: I have used this through an entire round of Insanity and now P90x without a single issue. Calorie counter seems very accurate and I like the recording function so I can go back and review my entire workout.

Pros: Does its job

Cons: has a lot of functions that you need to either have the manual near by or memorize the manual, lol.

Other Thoughts: Knocked an egg because it is not really that user friendly.

Pros: Great design and sound. Haven't lost blue tooth signal yet. Great controls.

Cons: None yet.

Pros: not good qulity.

Cons: not made well

Other Thoughts: take my word this is not made well it look like a cheap toy

Pros: As far as I am concerned, this Heart Rate monitor has it all. The watch, strap AND bicycle mount included is a complete set up. Great for the Gym and to take on the road with you while biking and in my case Mountain biking. Great product at a great price.

Cons: Some of the icons are very small to see but compared to others no different. Like all the other brands monitors it is not compatible with gym equipment because it is not a Polar brand.

Other Thoughts: I purchased a Sharper Image Heart Monitor a few years ago on sale $70 and had to go out and purchase a bike mount. So this one was a real bargain at half the price.

Pros: It is inexpensive,works very well.

Cons: It works well when you can get it into you selected mode!With only two operating buttons to navagate to your selected mode. it should be easy for a novice to operate. NOT SO! Its a difficult,frustrating and a challenge to get it to where you want to go. after my last use I could not get it to return to the watch mode.

Pros: none

Cons: Gotta be a PhD to operate the darn thing

Pros: Works well. A few nice statistic features and a stop watch. Works very well for my lifting

Cons: Very cheap band. Has broke twice and only the first time was I able to re-assemble. I keep the watch face in my pocket now and it works fine the same.

Other Thoughts: For the money, I'd say it is worth it.

Pros: Chest strap,
specs look good on paper.

Cons: Wrist watch stopped displaying heart rate after 1 month (chest strap is still sending signals because I see them pick up by a treadmill that has a built in receiver)

Selecting functions on the watch is a nightmare. Multiple button sequences in anincoherent pattern are required to change functions.

Customer service does not respond.

Other Thoughts: Barska did not respond to my e-mails for service on my defective wrist unit.

Pros: It works.

Cons: Not highest quality. Band and clip broke once already, was able to re-assemble it though. Interface is a bit clunky but only has 3 buttons so that isn't surprising.

Other Thoughts: For $30 versus $90+ that many other monitors cost I'd say it serves its purpose. But I have my doubt that it will last more than a year.
