why do the buttons keep dropping off of this watch at least that's what I hear im going to need to rely on this watch pretty heavily as I have epilepsy and need this for the emergency services and my meds I don't know if there is any truth in this but...

I have not seen that problem at all....the watch is to remind my husband to urinate every 4 hours and it has not missed a beat since he started using it.

I wouldn't wear this to work, it's not designed to be a casual watch and it isn't the right size or design for sure. The watch will turn off after a certain amount of time out of the water (20 minutes if I recall correctly).The Suunto D4i and D6i would be better for casual wear.

No. I haven't looked at the battery yet. I was hoping that a place that sells more than one or two types of watch batteries might have them. If you know what they look like maybe you could Google it? Wish I were of more help. Let us know what you find out please?

Bonnie, obviously you must have a defective watch. I have two of them and they both work fine after 6 months to a year. Good luck to you. Smile

Hi Lourival! Are you one of the students on my last spearfishing course? I have bought one of this watch and I am very satisfied. However, I still do not had to change the battery. If you are from Brazil and that student of my course, I suggest you to open a topic in Guarapas about that. There are people there who have this watch longer than me. Cheers!

the large silver "button" at the "6 o'clock" position on the face of the watch is the button you press down to see your heart rate. As long as the button is depressed, it shows your heart rate ongoing. How I use it: I flip into this really rapid heart rate quite often, especially if I'm doing even basic things - I want to see how high I get, but also how fast it comes down. As long as I'm pressing down the button, I can watch what is going on with my rate. I am a Cardiac Nurse and I love this watch - I recommend it to alot of my patients especially because you don't have to wear a chest strap like you do with other brands to get a heart rate reading. This one is really slick!!

I'm not having any trouble with my Smarthealth watch. I check my pulse about 4 times a day to make sure I'm still alive. Actually, checking your heart rate often helps your watch calibrate and customize its other functions specifically for YOU.I love this thing.

I am having difficulty with mine as well. I took the little snap out of band several times and it is just now starting to hold. I not real impressed Fitbit.

This watch was one of the biggest pieces of junk I have ever purchased we could never get our watch to work at all. Having said that, replacement batteries are often available at dollar stores, also check Radio Shack and Batteries are Us, if none of them are available any electronics store should have them. Hope this helps.

Hello Beth,For the model I have (Model: 8RS00) there is an additional heart rate strap which needs to be purchased/worn to monitor heart rate. I think there is another model which has it built into the watch, but I'm not sure which one. I've really enjoyed this watch and for my purposes, running, swimming and biking, it's awesome. Good upload onto my iPhone App and good reports for distances, speed, etc. Hope that helps!

No, my husband uses this watch and so far he hasn't had that problem. He had the older model before and the problem with at one is that the strap wouldn't send the signal no matter what I did to re set it after many batteries.

This watch was a gift for my grandson, an EMT nurse, and all I know is that he likes it! Good luck! Vera T.

there is a small rubber plug on the right side of the watch from the front view. The difficulty that I experienced was setting the language. Got it done but don't really know what I did. Hope you don't have the same problem

I had problems with the previous version. I sent it to them for a little problem, and they sent it back saying it water damage. I was pissed considering I live in a desert environment and the watch was in a (dry) drawer for months before I sent it in. I got it from amazon. As much as I want another suunto I just don't want to risk their crappy warranty service. (Their compasses have held up fantasticly for me.)

I assume you mean the watch is announcing the time every hour without the button being pushed. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer other than to read the instructions very carefully. If you've lost the instructions, you're screwed to put it bluntly. The process for setting the watch up is complicated even with the instructions on hand. I've bought two of these watches for a blind friend. They would announce the correct time and date when the button was pressed but I couldn't get either of them to display the correct time.

On the one I have, it seems to depend on the button- Start and stop are quiet. These are great watches. Check all colors, sometimes one is cheaper than others.

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.
