Puma Men's Cardiac II Heart Rate Monitor Review

I had been searching for a sleek wanting HRM watch, and determined to require a crack at this one despite one or two negative reviews. My 1st outing with it I got several compliments still as many "what will that do?" sort queries. Having expertise with similar watches (and being Lefty) i prefer having the buttons on the face of the watch. supported another review, i will be able to be as careful as attainable with the watch's face to avoid scratching.

Overall, i might say this watch is engaged toward the mid-range user UN agency desires an honest wanting watch. This watch does not have any distance or GPS options, therefore this can be not ideal for outside running (if you wish that style of data). It doesn't store elbow grease history or transfer information to a laptop. For those reasons, i would not essentially advocate this HRM anticipate a hardcore fitness enthusiast.

With that out of the means... i used to be awake to this watch's feature set before I bought it, and wasn't in want of these advanced options. I bought this to wear throughout my P90X workouts to "stay within the zone", and it suits that require absolutely due to the Zone Indicator feature. The watch additionally tracks elbow grease time, calorie burn, and a few stats on your min/max/avg rate. i'm pleased with the info that it tracks and attempt to use this throughout all my workouts.

 Pros:
- Chest Belt is incredibly comfy
- Watch strap is additionally terribly comfy
- HRM readings appear correct
- millions of features/data readings
- Min/Max for Target rate has straightforward setup, however additionally has manual over-ride
- distinctive and fashionable style
- Backlight illuminates entire watch face
- Mine came with a $100 tag on the watch, and that i paid $60!
- there's a button with a cougar on it!

Cons:
- Screen could be a bit dim, laborious to browse once not in direct lighting
(The on top of issue is probably going as a result of the negative red show of this explicit model)
- a number of the careful HRM icons square measure small and laborious to envision whereas moving
- In HRM mode, the backlight button additionally toggles HRM functions
- solely records one elbow grease price of information
(You will use the pause feature to record multiple workouts at intervals someday, however you may solely have one set of totals)
- directions leave to a small degree to be desired
- i can not notice some way to modify to rate Zone LEDs while not additionally sanctioning the guts Rate Min/Max alarms* (This would build Maine provides it a 5!)
- doesn't have a Knight Rider scanner mode (This would build Maine provides it a 6!)
