Digital camera reviews of Garmin 010-00679-05 Forerunner 50 Sports Watch with Heart Rate Monitor and USB ANT Stick
Digital camera Review: Very Nice Heart Monitor
Summary: 5 Stars
I own a Forerunner 305 and I am very happy with it during my running exercise (average 40 miles a week) but I needed a nicer heart monitor during dance exercise and 305 is heavy and non-ergonomic. I use TRIMP or Zone for my training (running, cycling, dancing, and etc). I use both 305 and 50 today during running and the result was the same. If you want to buy one device for your exercise, the answer is 305.Digital camera Review: Very good experience
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using this Garmin 50 for about a year. I really like the wireless transfer of information plus how the Garmin calendar highlights dates of activity. I have no problems with contact for the chest strap. I just wet my chest with a little water and fasten the strap. I am purchasing another one for a friend to use because of my good overall experience.Digital camera Review: Works great until the battery dies...
Summary: 2 Stars
Pros:
*Easily the most inexpensive HR monitor that transmits workout data to computer.
*Very comfortable as a casual watch -- very light, great band.
*Great display - easy to read.
*Easy to use.
Cons:
*HR signal is not compatible with fitness equipment (doesn't send live signal to elliptical/stairmaster/treadmill), like Polar and Nike are.
*Once the battery dies, you are in trouble. Took to jeweler as recommended in manual, but they wouldn't touch it because they didn't sell that model. They said they could send it off, but would cost appx $25 (for a $50 watch???). Replaced the battery myself, but you cannot do this without breaking a plastic covering inside. Since replacing the battery, I got it to work for a day, but it has since shut down. By taking it apart and putting back together (not as easy as it sounds), I'm able to make functional for about an hour before it goes out again. This is after using this for about 6 months.
Digital camera Review: Works great!
Summary: 4 Stars
The watch works great. No problems getting the heart rate monitor to sync with the watch. I had a bit of a problem getting the software to download from the Garmin website...but not a big deal in the end. The heart rate monitor works great and is not as uncomfortable as I thought it would be. Great product!Digital camera Review: garbage
