Neat HRM

By superdylan1279830 Ranked #667 - Running Watches March 17, 2008

It's my first HRM. It's a nice watch and easy to use. The interface is pretty straight forward. I bought a GPS pod to mate with the T4.

Positives: Easy to use. The pods interface fairly easily to the watch. Stylish. The coach is nice for a beginner to HRMs like myself. I don't have to really think too much about what my next workout should be like. I just look at the Coach and follow the advice.

Negatives: Nylon strap sucks. Plastic faceplate easy to scratch up. I would like to know how the Coach plans my workouts.

Things that I would be interested in seeing: More features. If I compare this watch to other electronics I own, I don't see how an HRM can or should be this expensive. Maybe with a color screen and built in mp3 player it should cost $200...it doesn't make sense to me. But to be fair, the other HRMs at this price have similar # of features. Also, I wish I could program it for working out with weights as well as cardio. I like strength training as well as cardio. It's not really taken into account when you train using the T4 coach.
