Strengths:
large display, ease of use.
Weaknesses:
lack of backlight.
Similar Products Used:
none.
Bottom Line:
this product worked very well. when i put it on, it seemed awkward, and it was sometimes losing contact or slipping down. so i tightend it up and during a recent 2 hr ride, i only lost signal once which most likely happened because it got turned around a bit after i biffed once. i was wearing a open arm thin base layer under a jersey, after the chest contacts took a small readjustment it worked fine. wish it had a light, but, it works as advertised. good deal.

Purchased At:
Nasbar
Strengths:
Easy to use, replaceable batteries (the instructions indicate that the watch battery is not user replaceable but it's very simple). Low frills.
Weaknesses:
The signal is lost if there is any interference. For example riding a Life Cycle causes the signal to be lost when your arms are full extended - but it works fine when riding an actual bike. Low frills.
Bottom Line:
The interference is a minor issue, but I'm still basically happy with the product.

Strengths:
Inexpensive, basic, large display, accurate, no bothersome 'out of range' alarms. Replaceable battery in both watch and chest transmitter.

May be too basic for some.
Bottom Line:
Good basic HRM. You can probably find a better price than $70 now.
