Hello , is the watch easy to set up, and does it beep when I am sitting to long? I understand there is a feature on some watches that does that?

Mine does not beep. It is easy to set up. 1-800-403-8285 is their customer service and here is the website to find out more. http://www.heartratemonitorsusa.com/ft60.html

I found it was pretty easy to set up. If you enter your stats (date of birth, etc.) it sets up the heart rate "zones" for you automatically and then you do not need to change them. It does not beep when I am out of a heart rate "zone." It beeps once when it loses the signal (if you take off the strap but do not stop the wristband), but I don't think it beeps continuously. I am pretty happy with it thus far.

I don't know of any beeping functions. I think the fitbit does that. This doesn't count steps per day. It does allow you to setup weekly training sessions for different goals and is a great heart rate monitor.

It does take some time for the watch to sync up on satellites, but mine always does. I generally turn it on when I leave for the golf course. If yours doesn't at all then I think there maybe a problem with the watch.

The watch is not suitable for the hearing impaired because the alarm in not particularly loud. My husband, whose hearing is only slightly impaired, usually ignores the alarm. I am the one who is alerted when the alarm goes off - so it works for us.

I've been using it for a few weeks now, its got a great display, and finds the satellite really fast. If you're a beginner and all you're looking for is a watch that gives you pace, time and duration, its not a bad watch. If you're an advanced runner and need all the stats, then maybe hold off until tomtom irons out all the bugs in the software.

Once you meet your goal, yes it will beep, that's for the watch but just armband by itself will not.

Sure. I've had female clients use the mens watch and vise versa. It's for fitness, so it shouldn't be a problem. The problem with this watch (sport line) is it can beeps sporadically and sometimes doesn't give accurate bpm. Anytime the watch gets wet; particularly from sweating, it'll just beep every 30 secs. I've purchased a bunch of these for my fitness clients and it has happened to everyone of them. So, be careful when purchasing. If that beep doesn't bother you, then go for it.

Sorry, it only has an audible alarm feature. The alarm is loud enought to wake me in the morning and only makes one noise. I've had my watch for over a year now and it still worlds great.

Do you use RunKeeper currently? If so, expect to have to do a manual export/import to get it to take. Also, MySports desktop app still locks up for me everytime I sync (have to close and reopen/resync). I didn't care much for the MySports website, but I already use RunKeeper anyway. It's completely comfortable, and sized just like a normal digital watch. I REALLY want to like this watch, and I still kinda do. If you're not in a hurry, I'd recommend holding off until/if they fix it... as it seems to be one of the best out there for the price--once it's all working. I'm holding out hope for it, but will be watching my return window closely.

You can set your HR low and high zones. I have not added them in personally, so I am not sure if it beeps or notifies you.

If you push and hold the right hand lower button, it will activate the beep. But if you go back to watch mode and return to HR mode, you have to re-enable it.

So I just tested mine and it does beep about 4 times every 10 seconds but it's not too loud or intolerable. Justenough to create a sense of emergency. I sized mine out for 60+ min of Critical Communications runtime but these are really meant to be used for short-term save everything and shut down functionality. You may be able to turn the beeping off but honestly, it's not too obnoxious.

Same as below, adjust the sensitivity in the set up process. It is not perfect, running on the treadmill with my watch hand holding my hair off my neck and it missed counting steps. Pretty accurate though!

Yes it beeps at each mile or km - whichever unit you set it to. And don't get caught up on the talk of it being tricky to connect to the cable. It's fine. Great running and cycling watch

I found I needed to sync it. The watch resets at midnight. If there is a different way to program it I couldn't find one. I do shift work so I wanted a different reset time but couldn't change it. I hope this helps.

When it is functioning correctly, it simply beeps when time is up. Optionally, one can set the unit to be silent and/or optionally blink the user lights when time is up. Warning: this unit uses a cheap wiring inside which leads to the unit eventually resetting itself after moderate use. I have two of them, and they both have the same problem, so I don't recommend it.

Hi! That is correct. Here is a link to a YouTube vid on the watch. Watch "null" on YouTubehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8FZFzTOHIA

Oh. I've been riding 30-40 minutes twice a day. In the morning I read/respond to email and drink my morning coffee and in the evening I read student submissions and web articles. The computer may be off [I have no way of testing it], but the timer is close to what the stopwatch on my watch says, and if the rest [speed, distance, calories] is within 10% of accurate that's fine with me. I think that they are close though.
