    Used one for a few months when my Garmin was broken and felt it worked quite well as a good indication of HR.

    I have one and it seems to roughly correspond to the HRM on the machines at the gym. However sometimes I've left it on while I'm not exercising and it's given me very low readings ~30/40 BPM which I find unlikely (I am not Lance Armstrong LOL!). It also gives me a crazy high reading for calorie burn.

    I tend to use it as a relative rather than absolute guide to my heart rate. Great price and the watch has handy timers. I haven't tried the pedometer function.

    Did you set your age, height and weight on the device? Might be worth checking to see if it's correctly set up.

    Yeah I did, thanks for suggesting it though. I take great pride in adjusting the weight every time I lose another kg! :D

    Hard to make out from the pics - is there a stopwatch on it?

    Yes if they haven't changed from the last ones they have a stop watch, lap timer thingy.
    I have one that I use in the pool and occasionally on runs. I find it really good, keeps me working hard enough in the pool and no issues with waterproofing so far. Good value imo.
    Not the most stylish of items but for the money you can't expect that.
