Save SIGMA PC9 Heart Rate Monitor Watch


It seems like a decent watch with good functions! However, it keeps losing signal and starts beeping as your heart rate shows zero, that is so annoying especially when you are in between a work out, as you need to tug your belt closer to your chest or moist under the belt etc. It gets very annoying pretty soon!

Cheapest Timex Ironman T5F011 Men's Bodylink Heart Rate Monitor Watch


My first watch worked for a while, and then the indiglo stopped working, which makes it useless after dark. I returned that for a replacement, in which the indiglo again stopped working, and the interval timer began "stalling": rather than a steady 5 seconds of beeping the beeping became erratic and sometimes would halt, stopping the chrono along with it. I called timex and am now on my third watch. The indiglo still works so far, but the interval timer has already begun beeping erratically again.

The GPS is hit-or-miss; it often loses the signal under trees or on cloudy days, and the algorithm the watch uses to calculate distance can't handle weak signals. Another annoying feature is that you have to dig through multiple menu screens to activate "night mode," rather than just holding the indiglo button like on other timex models.Get more detail about Timex Ironman T5F011 Men's Bodylink Heart Rate Monitor Watch.

Cheap NUBY BPA FREE 7-Piece Medical Organizer Kit


It is wonderful that this is BPA free, but the items themselves seem flimsy. The thermometer is cheaply made. However, the nail clippers are adorable and well made. The aspirator does NOT do anything. You could probably get a sturdier set, but if you care about BPA free then this is a decent option for the price.

Buying Sportline 1025 Men's Duo Heart Rate Monitor


Good: Accurate Readings, Comfortable Watch, Comfortable Chest Strap, Can get heart rate with or without chest strap, Nice Features, Looks Great.
Bad: Instructions aren't that great. Watch isn't too complicated, so once you learn everything it's actually pretty easy.

Well, I'll start by saying two things: I did not buy this off Amazon and this is my first hr monitor watch. Having said those things, I have researched the heck out of hr monitor watches. I really couldn't decide if I wanted a chest strap or not. I knew the benefits of both and had no idea which one was better. Then I ran into this Sportline 1025.
Whats great about this watch is that you can get your heart rate with or without the strap. For those that don't know much about hr monitors, the strap gives you your heart rate constantly while without the strap you have to press and hold a button on the watch. I really don't want to always wear the strap during specific workouts, and now I don't have to and still get my heart rate!
Getting the heart rate without the strap is easy. Touch the watch (no button with this watch!) and usually within a few seconds you get your heart rate. It took a little practice, but now I get it to tell quickly and accurately everytime. Readings have seemed accurate (even when not exercising), only can think of a couple of times that it seemed off and that could of been my fault.
The heart rate monitor when you using the chest strap is great. Exactly what you'd expect: constant accurate heart rate readings. Strap is comfortable and you don't even notice it. Usually I just put some water on it pre-workout to make sure I have a good "connection" because I'm not sweating yet.
All the features the watch have work great. I admit, it was a little confusing to figure it all out at first. The instructions that come with the watch are not very good. But now since I understand everything, it feels simple. I assume for people not buying their first hr watch, that this would be very simple from the start.
The watch and display look great! Everything is very easy to read. The main display is awesome, the heart rates are easy to read, and it's only when you use the chrono that things get "a little" small, but still completely readable.
I plan to wear this watch even when not working out. No, you shouldn't wear it for a fancy dinner, but it is a nice enough for regular use. One last great thing: you can change the batteries yourself. That is a big plus (although becoming much more common in hr monitor watches). The chest strap battery last 300-400 hours before needing to be change.
I'd recommend this to anyone, new or experienced Get more detail about Sportline 1025 Men's Duo Heart Rate Monitor.

Buy Heine Otoscope Tips 4.0 Mm - 50 Per Bag


I reviewed a lot of these covers and this is the one you want to buy. The sizing can be confusing, especially because there are a lot of "home" otoscopes that are probably not standard sizing. This one fits the standard clinical otoscopes and can be more universally used.Get more detail about Heine Otoscope Tips 4.0 Mm - 50 Per Bag.

Where To Buy Hem-711ac Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor


It's simple to use since it has no pump. I made copies of the sheet showing dates, time and results. My only negative is that instead of being able to keep it straight, the tube curves which might affect the outcome. But then the base would be out of reach!Get more detail about Hem-711ac Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor.

Shop For Omron Blood Pressure Monitor HEM-775 Premium Automatic with ComFit Cuff Paten...


Purchased this product hoping that after spending over $70 that it would be a wise purchase. It was proven to be inaccurate after brining to my Dr's Office and a machine at a Pharmacy also. Contacted Seller and they informed me that I should have researched before buying and that I can not return this item to them because it was already opened. Would never do business with them again based upon this type of poor customer serivce. Strongly suggest that IF you buy this product then you purchase it elsewhere...some place that does accept returns and has a good customer service department.Get more detail about Omron Blood Pressure Monitor HEM-775 Premium Automatic with ComFit Cuff Paten....

Battle Creek Bed Warmer Standard 18" x 36"


Wow. This thing is very hot. 60 watts is way too much, and there is no adjustment. I think about 15 watts would be much better. I recommend the deluxe model which has 2 settings, will return this one for that one.Get more detail about Battle Creek Bed Warmer Standard 18" x 36".

Braun Thermoscan Ear Thermometer - IRT4520 Review


I prefer this ear thermometer to my other one. The need for a lens filter may turn off some buyers, but I like it for the fact that they keep the lens clean and ready to use. The case the thermometer snaps into holds the filters for easy to reach convenience.

The thermometer gets accurate readings quickly and easily. It only takes a second. My other ear thermometer took longer and I could never aim it just right. The other one also doesn't have a lens filter, which made it more inconvenient because I always had to make sure it was clean and then hunt down the alcohol to clean it with.

This thermometer is tops in my book. I highly recommend it. Get more detail about Braun Thermoscan Ear Thermometer - IRT4520.

If you can get pass the manual pumping you'll find that this product is very solid and very accurate. I checked it against my wrist monitor that was checked and found accurate at the doctor's office.

Taylor 7548 Digital Lithium Tempered Glass Scale Get it now!


Although this scale worked well at first, one LARGE reason for buying it was the large print on the package screaming "LIFETIME WARRANTY!!!". It turns out that when (not IF) it gives up, you must send it in to Taylor, and after a month of waiting for a new one to return, I am giving up and buying another brand, which is no doubt how they afford to provide such a warranty.It cost more than 30% of the cost of the scale to return it. Worthless!Get more detail about Taylor 7548 Digital Lithium Tempered Glass Scale.
