Save SIGMA ONYX Classic Heart Rate Monitor Watch


I first saw this heart rate monitor when it was recommended in a review on the [...]on-line store. It was described as being the best heart rate monitor for rowers. Having now got one, I have to say it is really good value for money. I use it mainly for cycling, but I have also used it on the indoor rowing machine. It is very easy to use and gives great feedback. I like to strap it onto the top of my handlebars, next to my cadence/speedometer, and I have no problem reading the display. The digital coded chest belt works really well even in a crowded erg room surrounded by other people using HRMs. It has a calorie counter, which isn't of much use for me, but some people may like that feature. What I really like using it for is to maintain the same workout intensity level when I'm battling into a head wind as when I had the wind behind me. Since using the Sigma Onyx Classic, my average speed has increased almost 10%, just because I'm being smarter about how I work out.Get more detail about SIGMA ONYX Classic Heart Rate Monitor Watch.

Cheapest Sportline 955 Women's Pedometer Watch


I own this watch and have never been able to get it to hold the pedometer function. I'm constantly having to reset it throughout the day because it freezes up and stops counting...and then it's very difficult to program. It's a waste of money.Get more detail about Sportline 955 Women's Pedometer Watch.

Cheap Vicks Ear Thermometer Sensor Covers (Pack of 2)


I bought it not for Vicks but similar thermomether. It fits perfectly. The design is very nice, fits in the small box together with thermomether. Value is great, for 4 packs(individual) I paid less than I would pay for 1 at local pharmacy.Get more detail about Vicks Ear Thermometer Sensor Covers (Pack of 2).

Buy Polar RS800CX Run Heart Rate Monitor Watch with S3 Stride Sensor W.I.N.D.


Great watch for running and keeping track of multitudes of information. The only thing that keeps me from giving this product five stars is the crappy IrDA USB device that's included. It only worked sporadically and the watch had to be pressed right up to the USB device. I ended up buying a Startech IrDA adapter for $21, which works great.

Purchase Timex Expedition WS4 Widescreen 4-Function Watch (Orange/Black)


The watch in all is a good watch. It lives up to expectations but the compass failed within 1 month of purchase. I sent the watch back in for repairs and have not received it back yet but customer service was really decent. I think personally that it is as accurate as some of the several suunto's that I own. Except for the compass issue it seems to be a great deal.Get more detail about Timex Expedition WS4 Widescreen 4-Function Watch (Orange/Black).

Where To Buy TEMPADOT DISPOSABLE SINGLE USE THERMOMETERS 100/BOX


Our son was born very premature at 30 weeks and they used these in the Level-3 NICU he was in. When we transferred to our local community hospital they did not have them and we were very disappointed. They are very easy to use and much less intrusive for our baby. We have purchased a bunch of them for use at the hospital and for once he comes home.Get more detail about TEMPADOT DISPOSABLE SINGLE USE THERMOMETERS 100/BOX.

Shop For Suunto t4c Heart Rate Monitor and Fitness Trainer Watch (Black Volcano)


I loved the look, feel, and the features this heart rate monitor provides, and I so wanted to keep it. However, if you use it while you move your arms around other than a stationary position you will lose your HR and therefore not have an accurate picture of your workout. I replaced the batteries in both the belt and the watch, paired the belt to the watch but it continued to lose the HR if my wrist went behind my back or over my head. I even returned it and bought it from a different store hoping to correct the problem. Both watches experienced the same situation. In desperately wanting to keep it, I researched and found this to be a common problem with Suunto. I have been a long time Polar user, but HATE the look of every single one of them, so I really was looking for the same quality. Unfortunately,Suunto isn't the one.

Soehnle 63530 Alpha Digital Bath Scale


This scale is built like a tank and is the most accurate scale I've owned. I read where one woman said that her scale was inaccurate and I have to strongly disagree. Few scales are perfect, but this one's damn near that, in my opinion. The weight readings are very consistent and it's nice to look at as well. This scale comes highly recommended.Get more detail about Soehnle 63530 Alpha Digital Bath Scale.

Graco 5-Second Thermometer Review


I bought this thermometer when I was pregnant and getting all of my baby stuff ready. This thermometer was $10 and all the others were $5. I figured that since it was Graco, that it would be good. WRONG! This is the biggest piece of junk I have ever bought. Number one, it is NOT accurate. With it being flu season and the swine flu being in full force, every time my baby feels warm, I take her temp. Well one night I got 97.9, 105.1 and 101.9. I took the temp 3 times because the first temp did not seem right. Then the second temp came and I freaked for a second and then realized that no way is her temp that high. We then took it again, and who knows if that was even an accurate temp. After taking her temp 3 times and being aggravated, I ran out and bought another thermometer. When I got home and took her temp with the new thermometer, it read 98.9. Note: I also had the same problems as the other reviewer. This product really is garbage.
PLEASE, buy a different thermometer. Save yourself a lot of aggravation and stress.

THERMOMETER MERCURY FREE ORAL Top Quality


1. It's supposed to be oral? Then why is the shaft of the thermometer so short? You'll be lucky if it reaches your frenulum.
2. It's hard to shake it down so that it goes below 98.6. We were never able to achieve this: is that because the thermometer is filled with a mercury substitute?
3. We used it for weeks before we accidentally figured out how to get the casing off.Get more detail about THERMOMETER MERCURY FREE ORAL.

Braun Thermoscan Ear Thermometer IRT3020 Infared 3020 This instant


Yes all the Braun ear thermometers are great when it comes to taking a child's temperature. It is unrealistic to try to take an oral temp when a toddler is feverish.

The problem lies with the disposable covers "lens filters". They are cone shaped: 25mm deep, with a 27mm diameter. Unfortunately somewhat collapsible. Inhaled it would fit neatly into a trachea or mainstem bronchus.

So the real potential exists that a misplaced cover may be inhaled by a child. Thus blocking the airway. Leading to acute respiratory arrest.

I feel compelled to offer a safer alternative. There are Temporal Scanners which obtain the temperature by gently caressing across the forehead. No covers no danger.Get more detail about Braun Thermoscan Ear Thermometer IRT3020 Infared 3020.

3M Littmann Lightweight II S.E. Stethoscope - Black Immediately


First of all I wanted to say that the seller was fantastic.
I did not like the item and she returned my money and accepted the item back without problems.

I am a doctor and I thought this would be one of the Littmann high qualities stethoscopes, but unfortunately it does not seam good for a doctor. Nice to measure the blood pressure, but not murmurs.

Reebok Fitwatch Pink / Strapless Heart Rate Monitor Watch with Calories Best Quality


I like this watch overall, the color, the look and its functions too. The heart rate monitor was pretty accurate to my standard. The only reason I give it a 2 star is because my watch broke down just a few months after I purchased it. Well...actually less than 20 times...since I didn't go to the gym very often. It happened when I pressed down on the buttons, and one of them just never came back up. So it was making a continous beeping noise all the way driving home. I tried to fix it but ended up taking the batteries out and had to throw it away. Get more detail about Reebok Fitwatch Pink / Strapless Heart Rate Monitor Watch with Calories.

Mark of Fitness MF-46 Auto-Inflate Digital Blood Pressure Monitor Get it now!


Hace varios meses compré un Mark of Fitness MF-46 Auto-Inflate Digital Blood Pressure Monitor y estoy muy satisfecho con él; a pesar de usarlo casi a diario para tomar la presión mía y de otra persona todavía conserva las baterías que le puse la primera vez. Las lecturas son bien legibles y precisas, ya que los resultados de la medición son reales y comparables con los que toma el médico en su consultorio. Es muy efectivo si se toma correctamente la lectura y se tienen en cuenta las recomendaciones del fabricante. Sería más completo si mantuviera la fecha y la hora aún cuando se le cambien las baterías, pero éstas se borran y hay que programarlas de nuevo. En lo demás es genial; fácil de usar y a buen precio.

Thinklabs Electronic Digital Stethoscope Buy Now


I'm not sure when I got my first one but it was at a conference in Houston... OMG!!! It's great!!! I Have bought prior amplified stethoscopes from starkey and such... this stethoscope is so far superior that I bought 2 more the next time I went to the conference - one for a back up and one as a gift... and then the following year bought another two... And I will probably do it again next year... Infact, one of the highlights for the conference is to buy another one or two... I do not usually go by a booth at a conference and just to give personal recomendations for a product... but when you have an item that has such a big impact on my practice... I have to say I can't be without it!...the fact that it uses regular batteries and has a shut off to save the batteries ( the shut off can be made to last longer if needed) I did have a ear part break at the base on the first one that I owned (they have fixed this problem from what I can see on later scopes that I own) but I called and sent it in and it was sent back with reasonable time repaired... but I was also prepared with a back up... It'a a great teaching stethoscope as well!!! It has an adaptor that they can plug into... OMG!!! I can not rave any more about thist product ... I've been meaning to do this for some time... If you know any medical personal with a hearing loss or just if you want to make sure you hear what you are supposed to hear - then you really must get this for them or yourself!!! :o)Get more detail about Thinklabs Electronic Digital Stethoscope.
