Order Taylor 7323 Lithium Scale, Large Display


This scale was fine at first, not exact, but close enough. Then it began to display an error code before going to zero. Then it would display the code TWICE before going to zero. Today, it displayed ONLY error codes.

The scale is only two years old. I had my last scale, which was much cheaper, for twenty years. It was accurate that whole time. It finally just got too worn out to keep. This is very disappointing.Get more detail about Taylor 7323 Lithium Scale, Large Display.

Where To Buy Taylor 7014W Lithium Digital Scale, White


We purchased this scale for the cabin because of the limited bathroom space. It works very well considering the price we paid. We own other Taylor scales that have always worked quite well and this is no exception. I don't understand why this would have only one star and the same scale in black has 4.5 stars? For the money -can't be beat.Get more detail about Taylor 7014W Lithium Digital Scale, White.

Awesome product. I have owned several different brands of HRM and this watch for the price is the best to date. I had the watch up and going after work in time for my nightly workout. The Xchanger delayed me a bit with Windows 7, but I resolved that within a short time. The Timex website will track progress and apprears to be very complete. I have been using serveral other site to store this information. Great job Timex, this could be the part of my workout that I am missing.Get more detail about Timex Ironman Midsize Race Trainer Heart Rate Monitor with Data Xchanger Watch, Black/Grey, Mid Size.

Order Ekho E-15 Heart Rate Monitor Watch


I've had this monitor for well over 3 years and the original battery has finally died. The functions are fairly easy to figure out through trial and error. I've had to do this because I have no idea where the manual is. It does not have a backlight which is a little annoying. Gym equipment does pick up the chest strap signal which is good. The bad is that wireless equipment makes the reading go crazy. I can not use my wireless phone or laptop near it while the wireless signal is activated. Otherwise this monitor has served me well, but I want one with less interference and a backlight.Get more detail about Ekho E-15 Heart Rate Monitor Watch.

Where To Buy Malem Ultimate Bedwetting Alarm - Purple 1 Tone w/Vibration


My 8 1/2 year old daughter was filling and sometimes overflowing a "goodnight" every single night since she was 3. (She had been potty trained at night for about 6 months, then started wetting occasionally, which quickly turned into every night.) Every year the doctor said she would grow out of it, but finally recommended an alarm. I waited for months, thinking that $[...] for an alarm was too much, but when the condition didn't improve, I finally shelled out the money. I'm glad I did, and wish that I had done so sooner. (I was spending $300 a year on goodnights, so the alarm is actually cheaper!)

We hooked the alarm to the outside of her underpants, then she pulled a goodnight on over. The first night when the alarm went off, she was able to stop the urine flow and get to the bathroom. She didn't even call me for help, the alarm was simple enough for her to operate. In the morning she was so proud of herself. The smile on her face was priceless! Over the next few nights, she was just as successful. By the end of two weeks she was sleeping through the night, not wetting at all. We're one month in, and she has stopped wearing the alarm at all. She sleeps through the night and wakes up dry every morning. I can't explain how this simple alarm made all the difference, but it has! I would recommend this to ANYBODY and EVERYBODY that has a bed-wetting issue.Get more detail about Malem Ultimate Bedwetting Alarm - Purple 1 Tone w/Vibration.

Shop For Breast Model Teaching System by MammaCare®


This system is a thorough and detailed breast self exam technique. I have never had a doctor perform any breast exam as comprehensive as this system teaches. I prefer to skip the mammography radiation unless and until I detect something on my own that warrants it. The MammaCare system appears to be my best bet in achieving that goal.Get more detail about Breast Model Teaching System by MammaCare®.

Digital Alcohol Breath Analyzer with Clock Review


A couple of nights after receiving this product I went to a party where I drank several alcoholic beverages. The item did not register any alcohol on my breath. I then swished rum around in my mouth and then blew into the item, and it barely registered a .002. I KNOW I should have registered WAY ABOVE a .018, or so.Get more detail about Digital Alcohol Breath Analyzer with Clock.

Omron HJ-105 Pedometer with Calorie Counter Plus 2 Maxell LR43 Replacement Batteries! Top Quality


We purchased this because we already have one and it stopped working. But we like the features this one has so we ordered a replacement and thought it would be good to get the batteries with it because it uses more than most pedometers. We got the pedometer but they did not send the batteries that would fit the pedometer. After several email exchanges, they refunded shipping and handling but would not send the batteries that we ordered. So don't be fooled into thinking you will get batteries that work with this pedometer when you 0rder them together from this company - Online Components. But we do like the pedometer and you can get it from several different vendors. Just stay away from Online Components if you want batteries.Get more detail about Omron HJ-105 Pedometer with Calorie Counter Plus 2 Maxell LR43 Replacement Batteries!.

Rawlings Digital HEART RATE / PULSE WATCH Immediately


Purchased unit online at a deal a day site. I was skeptically because it said that it required no chest strap, but also indicated continious monitoring of your heart rate. Reality is it's only continious IF you place your fingers on the sensor pads on the face, so it really only does a spot check.

It does have some nice sport features like a pacer mode where you can set it like a metronome to set your cadence. It also does split chrono nicely. Large display is a plus.

Bottom line is if you really want to monitor your heart rate exertion zones, don't bother with this unit. Get more detail about Rawlings Digital HEART RATE / PULSE WATCH.

Polar G1 GPS Speed and Distance Sensor Best Quality


I love my Polar F60. I bought it to track my fitness on hikes and runs while on a trip in southwest Utah. And with it, I bought the Polar G1 GPS Speed and Distance Sensor. Alas. The shallowest of canyons had it flummoxed; the most unthreatening cliffs stymied it. On a given hike (or run) I would get mileages from 2.1 to 8.5 miles off from the established distances.
Coming home to New York City, I fared no better. Testing the G1 on daily Central Park runs of (tested) 3.7 miles, I got readings from 2.2 to 6 miles. (And according to the G1, I was running 12.3 miles per hour at my MAX - possible for some, perhaps, but not for me.) Pretty useless. Apparently the "four satellites" that are accessed need to be directly overhead.
I'm going to try the foot pod. Until I move to a Plains state.Get more detail about Polar G1 GPS Speed and Distance Sensor.

Polar F6 Heart Rate Monitor, Pink Coral 1 ea Buy Now


I bought this watch as a tool to help me through my long runs. I was very happy, a nice looking watch to monitor my heart rate, and it came with free shipping.

What I didn't like is that about 33 days into ownership of the watch, it became unreliable. It worked sporadically, and was inaccurate giving me readings that were completely off. I contacted amazon about a return, but I was outside of the 30 days and they sent me to the manufacturer (rightfully so). I had to send it to the manufacturer and wait 2 solid weeks.

On the return, the manufacturer stated that the battery was flat (dead), and that the transmitter had low conductivity of electrodes (aka: didn't work). I would say this was a "lemon" but I have heard and read that this has happened to others, I didn't think it would happen to mine.

They fixed it and were fine to work with, but I was discouraged that my "free ship" really was not a free ship after all, I had to pay to ship the watch to the manufacturer. My thought is you might want to learn how long your watch has been sitting in the box before receiving it. The only place to fix this watch is thru the manufacturer.

When the watch works, it's great. I am hoping to build confidence now on the reliability of this watch.Get more detail about Polar F6 Heart Rate Monitor, Pink Coral 1 ea.

Prestige Medical All, Color Sprague Stethoscope, Stealth Decide Now


This is a well made Sprague Rappaport stethoscope. It has been extensively tested and reviewed at the site: http://www.forusdocs.com/reviews/Acoustic_Stethoscope_Review.htm This review compares this stethoscope with other top selling stethoscopes on Amazon. Acoustically it is a good diagnostic instrument, and you should have no problems hearing cardiac sounds including murmurs, gallops, and clicks. It is very good for listening to respiratory sounds, vascular bruits, and checking blod pressure. This stethoscope has very comfortable earpieces. Its soft rubber tubing is less prone to noise artifacts than most Sprague-Rappaport dual tube stethoscopes.
Compared to the Omron Sprague-Rappaport stethoscope it is better made, but not quite as good acoustically, according to the above review. It was slightly less efficient and slightly less clean sounding compared to the Omron. But you can look like a TV doctor, as this scope looks identical to the model worn by the doctors on the NBC TV show "Scrubs". In summary a decent stethoscope and a great fashion accessory.

Timex T5E021 Pedometer Right now


Some pros: Clip is very secure. Very comfortable -- don't feel it at all. Fun to use

Cons: The buttons get accidentally pushed, so I end up reseting it inadvertently. Worse, if the "mode" key is held down (which I also did inadvertently), it changes to metric. I never would have figured out how to change it back to miles if I hadn't thankfully kept the instructions. Something as simple as a pedometer shouldn't need instructions.Get more detail about Timex T5E021 Pedometer.
