Great product full of features

Pros: Tons of features

Cons: Last lap consistently inaccurate

I've had this one for 3 months and I'm still really learning how to use it. The distance calculations are pretty accurate once you calibrate it. I had to adjust it in manual mode after setting it in run mode. I love having the ability to beam the data down to my computer and view my times in zone. I don't think it accurately determined my HRmax value - I'm going to try determining this next week using methods described in a book that I have.

I only really have a couple of complaints about it. It consistently messes up the data for my last lap when I have it beamed to my computer, and I haven't been able to figure out how to manually make the corrections. I really wish the data files werer in xml format so that I could read it and tweak it manually. I've also gone through a couple sets of batteries on the foot transmitter in just a couple of months. The next time I'm switching to rechargeable batteries.

But all in all, it is an excellent product. To get the most out of it you really need to study how to train using the heart rate zones. ...
