what is the difference between the c400 and the c410? if i dont have the c400 on my wrist will it just keep counting calories or does it stop

I believe that it keeps counting, it does some sort of calculation to make an educated guess of how many calories you burn while sleeping.

Hi Tabitha,I don't have a clue at this point. I've put it in the drawer until they deliver the new software which makes it compatible with my android smartphone. Sorry I couldn't help.Mike

There is a description right on the Garmin website that compares the two models (http://sites.garmin.com/forerunnerCoach/). With the 620 you get a LOT more information about how you run - cadence, vertical oscillation, ground contact time, V02 max, etc. It also helps coach you on how much rest time you should get and what your different race speeds should be.I bought the 220 because I don't want all of that extra information but I can see why other people would find it interesting. The 220 is an incredible watch, way better than my old Forerunner 405 - I can see the 620 being worth just $150 more if you want to dissect all of that data.

No. And it doesn't do calories burned. It does not have a heart rate monitor. If it has this feature, I never paid attention to it because it was not something that was/is important to me.

I absolutely love this watch. I wear it for all of my workouts. I generally lift weights but also do some cardio. The watch does a great job during either activity. I start the timer at the beginning of my workout and stop it at the end. It accurately monitors my heart rate (I've tested against other devices) and keeps track of calories burned. I highly recommend this watch for 4 reasons. 1. It monitors your heart rate. 2. It keeps track of calories burned. 3. It has an interval timer which you can set at any interval (great for HIIT and monitoring rest between sets). 4. The price. Be aware that it works best when the watch surface makes good contact with moist skin. I usually wet my wrist at the start of my workout. If you are exceptionally hairy it could interfere a bit too.

There is no difference in functionality as far as I can tell. The only thing that I can think would be the difference would be the market in which the device was originally intended or perhaps the year it was manufactured, but I could not even find the 400l on casio's website when I was looking at purchasing mine. I purchased the 400l because it was significantly cheaper than the straight 400 model when I was looking. I would say pick up the cheaper of the two if you are trying to decide between the two. The one I purchased has worked magnificently, and has done the job I needed it to. I purchased mine to for use in my upper level math and electronics courses at school (University), the only caution I would take is to make sure that your school (assuming that is what you are buying it for) allows the use of CAS calculators. Some do not, and it would suck to purchase such an advanced calculator and not be able to use it on tests or in class.... Though I guess it would still make doing homework easier.

Yes. You must have the exercise timer going, take your pulse it will show you what your heart rate is and how many calories burned. Can do it as many times as you like as long as exercise timer is going. Great watch for price paid. I

Calories yes! But the heart rate you need an ANT or Bluetooth HR monitor in addition to this device. I have to advise in good conscience that I returned this device TWICE after weeks of trying to make it work. The issue was the wildly off distance and GPS readings, it would under-report by a couple of miles, the motorolla customer support didnt have a clue why its happening. I returned the original one with the hopes the replacement will work but same issues. Its a shame, the device is beautiful.

The calorie count is based upon the heart rate feedback from the chest strap. You cant have one without the other.

There is a defect in these watches. Mine was the opposite my heart rate was rarely target or high when working out and ut qould say I was burning 10000 to 140000 calories on some days, which is impossible. I had to return mine.

I have had issues with the calorie counter not resetting, but everything else does. There is a clock that you can set to your timezone when you set the fitbit up on your computer

So I bought this watch and been using it for about 1 month. I can assure you that there is a difference on the caloric expenditure displayed on the cardio machine verses the one on the watch. But I made some research and really the POLAR watch seems to be the one to trust. The watch has info on height, weight, age, real-time heart rate monitoring so it has all the info needed to generate the actual caloric expenditure. On the machine however, usually the only 2 info you give is weight and age. At the end of the day, long story short, the POLAR FT7 is pretty much accurate and serves perfect for the individual who wants to monitor his/her caloric expenditure during any kind of aerobic exercise. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!

I'm here now is summer, so......But my watch seems normal, I continue to use for 12 hours, it looks all right.In some cases, it will suddenly stop detection for a few seconds, or a sudden increase or decrease heart rate data, but I think it is due to changes of my wearing loose or posture.

Get on the internet and get the instructions for the cc-rd430dw. They are on-line. I found those instructions to be complete and easy to follow. As others have observed, the instructions with the 410 unit are incomplete. I assume that the 420 instructions are also incomplete because, as I understand the 420, it also does not come with the heart rate sensor.

(9/4/2013) I think that may be something unique with the more expensive ones. I've found that with the cheaper ones, I have to wet my finger sometimes to get the rate to register. So far all my workouts have been rather sweaty but not overly heavy, so I guess it depends on how much sweat since I did read in the instructions not to submerge this one in water or take a shower with it or anything. I usually keep one of those dry sweat towels with me anyway (you know, the kind that wipe away your sweat but don't seem to ever get soaking wet no matter how much you wipe). I haven't had the watch for a full week yet, though, so let me put it through the wringer at my gym and out on the track a few times. Then I'll update on the results. Update: (9/18/2013) I've sweated up a storm with it and it keeps going. However, I'm a bit concerned with the accuracy of its measurements. I've had to set mine at the lowest sensitivity level possible and it still has a tendency to register almost double what a machine registers in burned calories. For example, I used the elliptical at my gym for an hour (using grips to register HR after having told it how much I weigh, etc.). I told the watch the same thing and used the finger pulse thing every 5-7 minutes during the workout. The HRs registered about the same on both the machine and the watch but the total calories burned was almost double by the time I made it to the end of the workout. My coworker bought one too, so I'm having her test hers out to see if she gets the same results then I'll report back again.

I've read several reports from people with small wrists having the wrist rubbing issue with the 305. Most of these people just wear a cheap sweat band under their 305 and the problem goes away. Another benefit of wearing a sweat band is that it keeps the battery/syncing contacts on the bottom of the 305 clean. The electrical contacts on the back of the 305 tend to corrode after repeated contact with sweaty skin. Some people have also noticed that their 305's battery tends to discharge very quickly if they sweat a lot. Wearing a sweat band also prevents this.

In my understanding the watch is sensing my hand moving and assuming that i am walking if my hand has a wavy or rhythmic motion. So I'd think it will sense your lifting weights also as walking. Also hence the calories credited will not be corrected. ButI think their customer support can answer this best.

I took mine to DR's office to compare wrist unit to Dr's measurement. Low number was right on the money. Upper number read 6 higher on wrist unit.If you buy one, do the same thing. If you don't like the accuracy, return the unit.
