Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Garmin 010-00679-05 Forerunner 50 Sports Watch with Heart Rate Monitor and USB ANT Stick
Customer Review: not quite enough
Summary: 3 Stars
I got this for my girlfriend but unfortunatley I didn't read the discription close enough so I missed that you need to buy the foot pod to count calories. So I ended up with a nice new heart rate monitor for myself and and had to buy her a Polar that does count calories on its own. I like this monitor though and I'm just interested in my heart rate so its perfect for me. If that's all your looking for than its a pretty good deal.Customer Review: Garmin Forerunner 50
Summary: 3 Stars
For the most part the Garmin Forerunner 50 does what its suppose to do. I had a couple of faulty reads but it was probably because I set it up incorrectly. Overall it does what its suppose to do: read your heart rate. If you want a more advanced heart rate monitor that creates a workout and so on go with a better Garmin model. I actually purchased a Garmin Forerunner 301 at about the same prize I paid for the Forerunner 50.Customer Review: Very Nice Heart Monitor
Summary: 5 Stars
I own a Forerunner 305 and I am very happy with it during my running exercise (average 40 miles a week) but I needed a nicer heart monitor during dance exercise and 305 is heavy and non-ergonomic. I use TRIMP or Zone for my training (running, cycling, dancing, and etc). I use both 305 and 50 today during running and the result was the same. If you want to buy one device for your exercise, the answer is 305.Customer Review: great replacement for my old Polar heart rate monitor
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to replace an old heart rate monitor. I love the wealth of features in the watch, compared to my old watch that just displayed my heart rate. The only downside I've discovered so far is that the heart rate doesn't seem to be picked up by cardio equipment at the gym like with my old monitor. Not a biggie, but nice to see it on the display instead of having to glance at my watch all the time.Customer Review: Get your money's worth and don't buy this product
Summary: 1 Stars
Even with my engineering background and Ph.D. I found this watch confusing. The button setup lacks logic and during a race chances are that you will waste a lot of time on trying to just simply toggle between and your running time and HR. In addition, the HR sensor is not reliable, as is the USB connection. So, without a doubt I'm staying with my old Nike C6 for my 10K and 5K training and racing.
