I am working in an hospital setting and was wondering how easy is the watch to clean and does it display seconds?

You can clean the straps by using a mild soap and warm water. The band doesn't currently display seconds.

It's easy to clean - the straps detach from the module and it's all enclosed in smooth plastic (I have the carbon steel edition, I don't know about the older model). The watch doesn't display seconds, only hours and minutes.

Sorry Doris, these steps are for the other watch called smart health, am not sure if this will be the same. but you can try it. dear Doris, press and hold the View & Time botton at once. then you can adjest the time and minutes by clicking the Time botton till you reach the KM or Mile on the screen, then chose which one you want. steps : Hold (Time & View), once the screen will start blinking press (Time) untill you reach on the screen the KM & Miles, press (View or Rest) to change between them, finally press (Time). Thank you

I work in healthcare and it is no different than what I would use to measure a patient's heart rate. It is a tad slower to register but if you actually use the sensor on your fingertip it is much faster, however in continuous monitoring mode during exercise it seems to work pretty close to the monitors we use in my clinic. I held out for a while for the Basis Band and honestly prefer the Gear Fit and Neo 2.

I bought two of these watches and one the blanked out due to moisture in the watch. It is a water resistant watch but one of mine. Can some one please help, because it is not nice to spend money for something that is now not working.

I don't know if this is the best way, but it works for me. I wipe it down after each shift with the purple top Sani wipes my hospital has in every spot possible. I also wipe down my stethoscope after every patient use. After several months of use and numerous shifts, it still works and looks excellent. Hope this helps.

Hi Christina, yes, it displays the time, however only when the button pressed, not constantly like regular watches.

1. The total band length, tip to tip, is 10 inches. From the first hole to the buckle is 8 inches. So the largest pre-set length seems to be about 8 inches. 2. It's purple. 3. I'm not supertechy, but I found it easy enough. Sometimes I need to refer back to the manual. 4. NOT a pedometer. It's a heart rate monitor, plus a regular watch, a stop watch, a countdown timer, a time-elapsed tracker, and it has an alarm and a second-time zone feature. I like it. The only thing I would warn you about is that the heart-rate monitor requires you to hold a finger from the opposite hand to the metal frame of the watch for a few seconds to get your heart-rate. Sometimes that's a little awkward on the treadmill or whatever, but I wasn't going to drop a bundle on the really expensive monitors. Once in a while I can't get a reading, but I try it again in a few seconds, and it works. (The conductivity has to be right.) The readings seem to match up to the heart-rate monitors on gym equipment, so I think it's accurate enough.

The easy-to-read lighted display continues to register for about 5 seconds after stepping off. I timed it while watching the second hand on my watch.

No, but you can wash your hands while wearing it. It is as water resistant as any watch.

My pink is looking pretty bad. I'll try the diswasher and hope is doesn't hurt it. I also just changed the time and now the settings are to high. The beats are just to high. I lost the instructions. Any recommendations gals?Polar F6 Women's Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Pink Coral)

It has a normal watch function as well. However if you do not to intend to use this as your daily wrist watch (like I do -- I only use it for trainings), you will have to re-set the time again every time your turn it on after a while of being turned off. Not really a big deal but I can do without the frequent setting of time for sure. Usually I'll just ignore setting the time since I'll turn it off immediately after training anyway.

Negative. The watch already has a heart rate monitor. You can display real time info when using the exercise function.

Sort of...it has an interval timer function, but you can only program 5 intervals, which with recovery isn't enough intervals for me. I have not played with this function more than once or twice so there may be a work around, but it in my opinion this is one of the negatives of the watch. Otherwise I like the watch very much. You ma look at the run trainer 2.0 for improvements of this feature.

I use the watch for walking & find it a great watch for that. As far as water the most has been when washing dishes. I feel it does what it says it does.

Hi dear seller. This watch doesn't show anything. Only o'clock in the screen. I used to normal only 2 weeks then it stopped

Since I am a single guy I clean it every two months. Yes it is easy to clean. Takes me all but 10 minutes.

I don't know because I don't swim with my watch. I do take shower wearing the watch and it is Just fine! HRM gets detected immediately when I water the strap and wrap it around chest. Hope this helps...you may want to check with other reviewers.
