rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author snowflake224 - Background: As you know, a couple years ago, pedometers were really big. I could not wait to get mine, but the only local store at the time was Wal-Mart so I picked up a cheap one to hold me over until I could get myself elsewhere. The Wal-Mart...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author adamb314 - I purchased a SportBrain iStep X2 around a year and a half ago. It worked great, as described by other reviewers, with a fairly accurate step count, good upload capability, and many more features than I ever needed. The product itself is fairly good...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author carm3123 - I purchased this Heart Monitor watch through BestBuy online in August '06. It seemed to function relatively well when I received it (though I suspect this was due to the fact that I was sitting in a chair when I tested the heart monitor function) On...

Great watch

Sat, 4 Nov 2006 18:07:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author baseball34 - This watch is a great buy if you want to check your pulse rate without wearing a bothersome chest strap.
