Reebok Fitwatch 10S Strapless Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Blue)

This item was for me. I love it. Arrived promptly! In exccellent condition. Thank you! A++++++

I loved this product. I had previously had a "strap" monitor and absolutely hated it (would be better if you had no chest). This watch never gave me any problems when it was working. Suddenly the watch would not provide a heart rate so I figured it needed a new battery. I took the watch to Sear's "watch/clock" repair department. When the service person took the watch apart, she placed the new battery in, and then put the watch back together. It would not even light up and she said they were not able to fix "digital" watches. She took out the new battery and gave me back the watch. I am not sure what happened, but the watch was lit when I gave it to her. I am thinking of buying the watch again because I really liked it and am familar with all of its features, but do not want it to only last a year. At least my "strap" monitor (Polar)has operated for many years and several battery replacements. I wish there were other reviews regarding battery replacements for this watch.

I was attracted to this watch because of the lack of chest strap...but there's a reason REAL heart rate monitors have a chest strap- because they WORK. This monitor works fine when you're standing still. But if you actually want to use it to work out, think again. It's really annoying to have to press and hold down the sensors with two fingers to get a read and it barely reads when you're moving. By the time it reads, you've already stopped your work out. Also, there's no way for it to do a calorie count because it's not monitoring your heart rate during your work out. It must "guess" based on the 1 or 2 readings you're able to get at some point during your work out...far from accurate.
Trust me, go for the strap. I'm sure you get used to it after a day or two. Wish me luck on returning this one.

This is a great watch and monitor. Works great and is accurate. I bought the watch for myself (male) but it is definately a female watch. My wife now enjoys her new birthday present!

Have never had a rate monitor watch so nothing to compare this to. I think a chest strap would be a pain so chose this. I love all that it does, the style, the color and the convenience. I certainly don't mind pushing the sides to get my heart rate. One of the things I appreciate the most is that I can set a range so if my rates under or over it alarms when I check it. In the sun and the sweat my eyes don't focus well to see the rate. With the alarm feature I can tell if I'm in range. I would buy this watch all over again.
