Bowflex Fit Trainer Plus Heart Rate Monitor and Pedometer Watch (Small) Right now

I received this Heart Rate/Pedometer that someone have returned back because it has time and some other things set up. I had to struggle with it for a long time to set it up and kept it, but would recommend other people do not waist your money, buy something else that is easier to operate.Get more detail about Bowflex Fit Trainer Plus Heart Rate Monitor and Pedometer Watch (Small).

Lowest Price SleepTracker Pro Sleep Monitoring Watch

I can't give this disappointing product a 1-star review because it did manage to wake me up, even with the weak vibrate/beep function. However, I found that it either woke me up right at the beginning of the window or right at the end, in which case I might as well use my cheaper, more reliable, and more comfortable alarm clock. The accompanying computer software was even more disappointing- I had lots of problems getting the watch to hook up and be recognized by the software, which did not seem to have a delete function for incorrectly-entered information. If you have sleeping problems, as I do, the best thing I can recommend is improving your sleep hygiene by scheduling yourself enough time to sleep and having enough self-discpline to get out of bed the first time your alarm goes off, and stepping outside or turning on some music to wake up. Definitely not worth the money, I was disappointed with this product the minute I saw the box. I just hope I get my refund soon.Get more detail about SleepTracker Pro Sleep Monitoring Watch.

Discount Polar CS300 Cycling Computer and Heart Rate Monitor

I bought this used for about 1/4 of list price. The reviews weren't that great but given the price it was worth a gamble.

The good:

- easy to set up
- nice array of features
- has worked great so far aside from the alarms and sonicLink (now fixed)


The bad:

- alarms were inaudible when I first got it
- sonicLink (due to low volume) wouldn't initially work
- not Mac compatible
- speed sensor has to be placed high on fork to minimize interference
- instructions had wrong setting listed for my tire size
- batteries in watch and speed sensor aren't user replaceable*
- you can upload data form the CS300 to the polar website but you can't
easily move it anyplace else.

Given the longer list of "bad" things you might be surprised that I rated it as high as I did. It turns out that all the important items in the "bad" list I was eventually able to address or work around. For example, like me, another reviewer complained about the sounds from the watch being inaudible and he had that problem with 3 separate CS300s that Polar sent him. This is a big deal because the CS300 uses sounds (like a modem) to transmit saved information about your exercise sessions to the polar personal trainer website. There's no other way to get the data off the watch.

In my case the CS300 was a couple years old when I got it and since I'm not the original owner, -no warranty. I replaced the battery on my own hoping that would fix the sound problem. Now, you're supposed to send it to an approved Polar Service Center to change the battery to ensure that the unit retains its water resistance. I may eventually have it pressure tested by a local watch repair shop but I wasn't inclined to spend the money sending it to Michigan just to see if changing the battery fixed the problem. Anyway, the first battery change didn't do squat. The only reason I thought it still might be the battery is because the backlight was a little on the dim side as well. Going for broke, I tried a different battery, and ...SUCCESS

One of the big reasons I wanted to do this review is that given some of the other reviews, I was surprised at how well the CS300 worked. I use my bike to get to my job and a part of my ride is next to a Light Rail line. It uses overhead lines to supply its power and this is one of the things that can cause interference issues between the speed sensor and the CS300. I've had no trouble whatsoever. That may be because I mounted the speed sensor as close to the CS300 as I could. Other people have complained about the speed and distance not being accurately recorded but this may because of the improper numbers listed for at least some tires sizes in the manual. Once I had that set properly, the reported distance and speeds matched my wired computer.

I have to say that even though I did get the sonicLink data transfer to work, it took some trial and error. It's the type of thing that may work great on some people's computers and not at all on others. My recommendation is that if uploading the data to the Polar website is an important feature to you, get the CS300 from somewhere that has an easy return policy.

For me to give this thing 5 stars it would have to have true Mac compatibility, a better method of transferring data than SonicLink, user replaceable batteries in all components, and more resistance to interference giving you greater flexibility in sensor mounting.Get more detail about Polar CS300 Cycling Computer and Heart Rate Monitor.

Buy Sportline Solo 960 Heart Rate Monitor Watch

I bought a Sportline heart rate monitor for my husband and it didn't work the first time I received it through Amazon. I called Sportline customer service and their rep was snippy and told me that I should replace the battery. I replaced the battery for $15 [unbelievable because the watch itself was $85 at the time!]. It worked for four weeks and then the heart rate monitor stopped working again. My husband replaced the battery himself and it still didn't work. I called customer service and they told me that if we replaced the battery ourselves we had voided their warranty. What is that about?!? You can't even replace your own battery? I didn't want to spend $15 every four weeks to replace the battery.I'm very disappointed that I can't return it anymore. This product should work for more than 4 weeks. The customer should be able to replace the battery themselves to save money. It's a very expensive gadget and should work better than it does. I recommend that you buy another product.Get more detail about Sportline Solo 960 Heart Rate Monitor Watch.

Purchase Braun Thermoscan Ear Thermometer with 1-second readout

I bought this because my wife, a nurse, was tired of fussing with our 4 1/2 yr old and our oral thermometers, and wanted something closer to what she uses at work. Our daughter was on the verge of pneumonia, and we knew we would be tracking her temperature regularly for a couple of days, and wanted something to get it done quickly and accurately. This Braun Ear Thermometer does the trick. It's fast, accurate, easy to handle, and well made. Don't waste the extra $20-30 for the next model up in the Braun product line - paying for the "tip warmer" feature is pointless when the reading takes less than 3 seconds to perform. This is a real bargain, IMO.Get more detail about Braun Thermoscan Ear Thermometer with 1-second readout.

Order Sportline 775 Men's Analog Strapless Heart Rate Monitor Watch

This is a good value purchase for a specific need-use watch. Because of a specific health issue I wanted a heart rate moniter. This is a quality looking watch and the time function and the hart moniter function are dependable. The sport look is neat with a tough feel to go with the dependable operation. The only negative is the band. If you don't mind, or prefer, the plastic/rubber feel on a watch band there is no problem. the size of the band makes it difficult to locate a comfortable and attractive band for the "cool" watch. One of the seiko orange/black sportura bands will work, but at an expensive price. I used a stanless casio band that was re-sized on a grinding wheel to create a nead sport watch that looks great. This is a good watch when you are comfortable with the band used with it.Get more detail about Sportline 775 Men's Analog Strapless Heart Rate Monitor Watch.

Where To Buy SM2000 Step Pedometer - Black

I read the reviews for this pedometer before I bought two.
They are simple to use and work rather well. They are very sensitive to movement, so it needs to be placed where you don't juggle.

I wear mine on the back and it works great. My daughter wears hers on the front.

You should have it attached to snug fitting waistband or belt for best results and accuracy. Again they are sensitive to juggling.Get more detail about SM2000 Step Pedometer - Black.

Shop For Home Diagnostics True Track Smart System Blood Glucose Monitor

To all the reviewers who cite inaccuracies when
taking multiple tests within a 3-5 minute or so window...

THIS IS NOT A BLOOD PRESSURE METER!!!


ACCURACY IS MESSED UP - NOT IMPROVED,

ON THE MOST ACCURATE, HOME USE(not made to be used in an office setting)
MONITORS BY TAKING MULTIPLE TESTS WITHIN A FEW MINUTES!!!!!

These meters have components that are biologically sensitive
and every time you test your blood the components are
affected for a period of time after it's processed the reading.

Most people haven't educated themselves on these meters well.

Also, many people think that because testing your blood pressure
three or so times in a row is more accurate

THEN, OF COURSE, testing your blood multiple times must be better then ONCE!

WRONG!!!

If your readings don't make sense check the calibration!

EVERY METER ON THE MARKET(Yes, even the no-codes) needs to be calibrated.

If you can't be bothered to do test the calibration of your meter,
at least wait several munutes to a half hour before testing again.

But realize that testing multiple times within minutes will CAUSE just
as much inaccuracy as if your meter is miscalibrated or damaged.


I've got a Freedom meter that uses $60/per 50 test strips and occassionally test the two at the same time against one another and they have never been more then 3 points apart in readings(and once, before I got the TrueTrack, got a weird reading on the Freedom meter - no product is perfect).

The Freedom meter doesn't require coding(big deal, coding, takes a few seconds for every box of 50 strips - how lazy are people who find that a big deal?) but the strips are a couple of bucks over $60/per 50.

I didn't mind the expense, though being overly Catholic I think it's wrong to outright just WASTE money,

but even though I could afford the strips, my doctor recommended the TrueTrack meter over it because he believes the "four lead" technology they use is more accurate.


I'm willing to deal with sticking a chip in the meter once every 50 strips for a few seconds(coding)

as well as 10 seconds vs. 5 seconds for more accurate results.

Plus, hello! The test strips are less then $20/per 50.


A few seconds coding per 50 strips and 5 extra seconds gets you MORE ACCURATE readings.

Those two ridiculously petty sacrificies are worth the added accuracy.

AND the supplies are ridiculously cheaper!!!


People, please read up on these issues before you trash things that you aren't using properly!

I've seen this syndrome with computer and other tech produsts when I sold computers so many times it's maddening.

People imagine how the equipment will work before they educate themselves on it's use.

Then when the real, actual, physical tech item doesn't act in a way that in their heads they think it should,

THEY ASSUME IT DOESN'T WORK RIGHT!

It NEVER EVEN OCCURS TO THEM that just because THEY IMAGINED the tech product(real object) works a certain way

DOESN'T MEAN THE PRODUCT ACTUALLY WORK THE WAY they IMAGINED.

IMAGINING something functions a certain way doesn't mean you really know how that hardware works.

If imagination made us knowledgable,
anybody with an imagination would be able to Engineer, build, repair and fix anything.

That's just not the way the real world works. :(


P.S. To help the gentleman who wrote the following in his review:

"Also, TrueTrack's meter reads low (LLL) at 20 and high (HHH) at 600. With those blood sugar results it would be really unsafe to drive, or you might not be able to call for help before you blacked out."

You are misunderstanding what you read.

The meter is not saying a blood sugar level gets low only when you go below 20 or is high only over 600.

A quick glance at the owner's manual explains this in the instructions on the page immediately after the instructions on how to take your test.

All they are saying is that the meter's range is 20-600.

The LO warning is to let you know the meter can't read the Blood Glucose level because the level is LOWER then it is able to read.

The HIGH warning is to let you know that the meter can't read the Blood Glucose level because the level is HIGHER then it is able to read.

The warning telling you whether or not the meter can't read it because it is either too LOW or whether because it is too HIGH

is an important FEATURE, not a flaw.

Why you may ask?

When I first developed diabetes my doctor sent me to the emergency room because my blood sugar level read 550 on his meter. (Actually at the time it was as much because I was presenting the symptoms of a gallbladder attack as much as the crazy sugar reading).

His meter gave no warning that my blood sugar level was really out of its 550 max range, so he assumed my blood sugar level was actually 550,
cab(no driving) to the emergency room high,

but nowhere near as high as it actually was.

When I got to the emergency room and got the laboratory blood test results
it wasn't 550, it was 1020!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




A HIGH out of range alarm on my doctor's handheld would have let us know that it was higher then the range the device could range.

LO just means your sugar is lower then the device can read,
HIGH just means your sugar is higher then the device can read.

They are not making any statement that anything in between is necessarilly okay in any way.

They are only warning you the results are either too low or if it is too high for the device to read.

It has nothing to do with telling you that between 20-600 you are okay.

I hope this makes you feel a little more at ease, good luck!


To help the guy who wrote:

"I have this testing machine. It worked well with the first ten strips it came with. Then I spent $$$ on additional strips & it never worked again."

Coding? A new box of strips will NEVER work unless you take a few seconds to use the unique coding chip that comes with every new box of strips.

Did you use the new coding chip that comes in every box? The strips on coding meters will never work unless you use the new coding chip that comes in every new box.

Maybe this wasn't the problem, you might have also gotten a box with a damaged coding chip. That happened to me once and I was able to exchange the strips for a new box.

Not coding or a bad chip seems to explain your problem pretty exactly.

But regardless, if you find coding to be too difficult, and/or you suddenly seem to have the problem again after running out of strips and you can't figure it out,

or if it's simply too a big a hassle and you don't want to be bothered with it,

try buying an accurate no-code meter like the Freedom meter, but be prepared to pay more for the strips guy. :(Get more detail about Home Diagnostics True Track Smart System Blood Glucose Monitor.

Mio Motiva Heart Rate Monitor Watch

Compared to the machines at the gym, the ECG device is accurate. The only problem is that the calorie meter seems to overcompensate so that it looks like you burn more calories than you actually do. This, however, is a problem that is not uncommon, even for those machines you would find at a gym; so, if you can live with that, it's a great watch, and the booklet that comes with it is extremely useful as well.Get more detail about Mio Motiva Heart Rate Monitor Watch.
