Pros:
*Nice stainless steel casing
*Have a lot of HRM functions, like duratin below/in/out of your training zone, and many more.
*Transmittor belt is comfortable
*Pretty sleek display with very large display
*The monitor picked up the transmitter quickly, did not need to warm up.
Neutral:
*The display is not nearly as bright as the picture. The display seems a bit polarized so it is only vivid at a particular angle. I personally didn’t have too much issue with this in the sun.
*HRM are generally thicker than most everyday watches. However this watch is a bit thicker than average HRM watches.
Con:
*Display only supports military time (1-24hr) no AM/PM
*The transmittor is very suseptible to interference. At some points, my monitor was telling my HR was at 187 BPM for a good 3 minute duration and with a few 220 BPM readings. I have use a few other HRMs, both analog and digital (coded) transmittor belts on the same route that I run and worked fine. I could not push my hear rate higher than 180 BPM at best.

It takes more than 30 minutes working for it to get “calibrated” with my body. When I start running, the heart rate goes from 0 to 230 many times, affecting my averages. This way, i can’t trust what the results are.
I know that i have to put the belt some time before making excercie for it to warm up, but 30 minutes i think it is a lot of time.
Thanks
