Low Price Sportline 340 Strider Pedometer


These are very cheap pedometers, but even though I find they twist on my clothes, get dislodged, and other things that keep them from counting properly on irregular stepping, I have found that they are as reliable as the much more expensive ones. Some of the more expensive highly rated ones would only count consistent, regular steps - but I wanted something that counted my steps all day, regular or not. This is the best that I have tried, and I have tried many. I have been wearing a pedometer (mostly this model) for three years, every day. They are small, lightweight and don't make a big bulge in clothing (important to me).Get more detail about Sportline 340 Strider Pedometer.

Save Polar FT40 Women's Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Green)


I absolutely love my Polar FT40. Very easy to set up and use, comfortable, and extremely helpful. I highly recommend it - plus, when the battery dies (battery life of approx 1 year), you won't have to send it in to the manufacturer to have it replaced. This is one of a few models that contains a battery that the user can replace. Score!Get more detail about Polar FT40 Women's Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Green).

Discount DMC-03 Multi-Function Pedometer (color: BLACK)


Product counts every minor shake and movement as a step; not an accurate counter of steps taken. Customer Service was quick to respond, but will not refund $3 in shipping for a substandard product.Get more detail about DMC-03 Multi-Function Pedometer (color: BLACK).

Cheapest MABIS 3M Littmann Stethoscope Identification Tag, Black


Save your money. This is a piece of junk. You pay for it once - $10 - then you have to send it back and pay again to get it engraved. I was stupid enough to try this twice for different stethoscopes and never received any of the engraved labels back.Get more detail about MABIS 3M Littmann Stethoscope Identification Tag, Black.

Buy Polar FT80 Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Black)


I have owned this product for 9 months, and it is my second Polar product. This watch has been a great purchase, and I am very satisfied with its performance. I use the watch for general fitness (6 workouts per week 3 cardio and 3 strength). The contrast is great for almost all situations (the backlight works for all others).

It provides great motivation to get my workouts in, and it keeps me honest when I don't.

Pros:
- The training program is a huge step forward - it monitors and adapts to your weekly activity level
- Strength training - I bought the watch for the strength training capabilities, and I am very satisfied. I like the ability to load workouts and see the recommended start times
- Data tracking - Polar does a great job of tracking all workout progress on the watch and on their website www.polarpersonaltrainer.com - the watch synchs easily to the site, and the available data is extensive and motivating
- Easy to read watch - I wear the watch unit most of the time

Cons:
- Swimming - the device doesn't work for me when swimming, the chest strap won't stay in place when I push off the walls - not allowing me to use the product in the pool
- Battery life - I've already had to replace the battery in the watch unit (my previous Polar is still on its first battery)... battery replacement was simple.

If I could use the watch while swimming, it would easily be 5 stars.Get more detail about Polar FT80 Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Black).
