On my last run my watch said the battery on my HRM was running low so when I got home I put a brand new battery in to it,on my run today the same thing happened, has this been happening to anyone else?
Might bring it back if it keeps happening.

Got the message yesterday for the first time, decided to ignore it, I'll be working out again tomorrow and I'll see if it moans again and/or stops reporting hr.

Hi Lanno,

Have on of these for sale at €80 (price I paid/have receipt), working perfect (used once with old hrm strap/new sensor). Only reason for sale is I'm used to garmin and gona stick with the one I have. Located in Galway.

Nobody local came forward for my one, so I'll post at buyer's expense.

Still just sitting in the box.

She's gone lads. Best of luck to the new owner.

Finally got my hands on one of these a few days ago. Fairly impressed for the price. Locking onto GPS can be very hit and miss, can take 5 or more minutes sometimes. HRM very good so far.

picked one of these up in limerick today

Managed to flog both the heart sensor and the cadence sensor on eBay for just under €50, makes for a very cheap gps watch!

RossieMan

Serious going that. Might look at offloading the Cadence sensor as i'll hardly ever use it.

Well done on that, any chance of some tips on how to sell it ?:D
I have the heart rate senor and cadence sensor and I wont be using it, so would love to shift it for a few quid.

I've found them to be very good. If its within warranty and you have a receipt you should get a replacement with minimal fuss.

Bumping this as halfords appear to have stock again

Sono

What does this normally retail for? Looking for something like this and wondering how good of a bargain this is? Any feedback appreciated

RossieMan

Bought this the last time it was on sale. Its been everything I've wanted. Great purchase, the lack of compatibility with strava is my only bad point.

Sono

Could you use it for running or is it better suited for cycling?

RossieMan

I've used it for both. Has no problems with either. Haven't attached the cadence sensor yet. Must do it one of the days.

You can upload to strava. Sync the files to your PC , then import to strava

RossieMan

I know that, its just not plug in and upload to strava like most other watches. Youve to export them first then upload.

Picked one up today in Blanchardstown by fluke, asked the girl at the counter and she said there was a couple out the back that had been there for weeks that no one collected so I duly obliged and got it for €50, seems a nice piece of kit for the money.

Anyone able to help me with the GPS how do I get that to work? Thanks

It can take about 10mins or so the first time for it to lockon

Sono

Ok thanks for that but do I need to do anything with the watch or will it automatically kick in once I start running?

RossieMan

You need to start it. Read the instructions.

ooter

I usually leave my watch out in the front garden for a few mins before I head off, you'll see a √ in the circle when it is connected.
Press the red button and away you go..

i wouldn't just head out as the watch wont start tracking until it has a gps lock
happened me once and i was 2km before the watch kicked in.

also if its not been used in a while itll take a while to lock on agian

ooter

If you're moving at all it struggles to get a signal, it needs to be static for a couple of mins to lock in.

A number 2 in circle just came up on my watch.

It's in the bottom right hand corner of the display.

I can't for the life of me figure how to get rid of it or find out what it means.

Google and manual have been no use....Has anyone got any ideas about this??

Quackster

The watch allows you to set two independent times. When you have it set to display Time 2, that 2 in a circle is displayed.

Go to [Settings > Watch Settings > Time > Time In Use] to change it back to Time 1.

My HRM stopped working a few wks ago, RIP.
