Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Heart Rate Logger with Download
Customer Review: Great concept, execution has room for improvement
Summary: 3 Stars
The concept of the heart rate data logger is great, and the unit itself is very small and discreet. I usually wear it on my arm, clipped to the strap of my mp3 player. When it works, it works well with my old Polaris heart rate strap. The price from this seller is outstanding, and even Oregon Scientific's MSRP is is a bargain compared to what other manufacturers want for their heart rate monitors with data logging capability.
[The following is an update of my original review.] I have had this unit since early February 2009, and exercise about three to five times per week. I initially had several problems but have been able to resolve all of them to my satisfaction. I would now rate it at five stars instead of three (but the edit function won't let me change that!) However, I had to fix the problems myself because my attempts to contact the manufacturer using their web site still have not been answered.
1. Initially the software would appear to download data but nothing would get recorded in the database. I tried tweaking various user settings and options and finally got a successful download after setting the software to NOT automatically clear the device memory after download and NOT automatically synchronize the device date/time after download. Now that the controls are set that way I get a successful download every time.
2. I did have a problem where it failed to record sessions after the first couple. Attempting to turn it on caused the LED to flash green once and then red twice, a code that is NOT described in the user pamphlet. I knew the chest strap was working because my Polar monitor watch was receiving the signal at the time I was trying to turn the data logger on. I eventually noticed that the manufacturing date code appeared to indicate June 2006 so I decided to try a new battery. That fixed the problem.
I have noticed one data anomaly (heart rate up to 235!) which was probably caused by interference from monitors worn by other people. (It was a particularly crowded day at the fitness center.) When doing statistical analysis I will just treat those points as any other outlier.
Based on using it for several weeks (after installing a new battery) I would now rate the PRODUCT at FIVE stars for performance and quality. (But don't ask me to rate the manufacturer's technical support!)
NOTE TO AMAZON MODERATORS: this product from this seller is classified in Kitchen equipment! It should be listed with FITNESS equipment, like the other entries for this product by other sellers!
