Light Marker For Side no mad
I really wanted to like this unit, and was very excited to try it out, but it’s going back after two days.
I bought this as an upgrade/replacement for a heart rate monitor, because I train for triathlon and am running my first half marathon this spring. On my first run, it was very easy to set up, sync up, and find satellites, and it worked beautifully. Unfortunately, however, as it is winter and I also enjoy spinning classes and indoor interval work in my training, this unit is going back.
Though it has a heart rate monitor, this is only used for telling you a current heart rate. The GPS is necessary in order to calculate calories burned, despite having my age, heart rate, activity, weight, and gender, and so this does not function on indoor mode, or in a gym, or on a trainer or spin bike. As such, through an spin class and an hour of lifting weights, I burned no calories, but on the drive home, I quickly went through like 58.
It’s pretty useless for people who want to do anything other than walk, run, and bike outdoors in clear weather, away from buildings. If you are in that niche market, I imagine it’s great, but for me, it is already on its way back.
