Great to track calories and heart rate

I use this every time I exercise. I can not say how accurate the calorie counter is, but it is a great way to measure and track improvement in your workouts by comparing your counts from one day to the next. You can easily track which exercises burn more calories per hour, which days you've worked out harder than others, etc. The heart rate tracking helps ensure you are in the right zone for your work out. Wearing the chest strap may take a little getting used to for some, but it is really not a big deal. And the chest strap will transmit your heart rate to many pieces of gym equipment that are equipped with heart rate sensors if you don't want to wear the watch for some reason. It will work in the pool if you swim laps.

When you are done your workout, upload it to the computer. You'll need a microphone on your computer because it uses a "fax machine" like sound signal to send the data. There is no cable that connects the watch to the computer.
