    I picked it up for my Mum as she's been wanting one but didn't want to spend too much on it, I've got a Sigma one which was nearly 4 x as much and it seems to do everything mine does :smile:

    Thanks, have just ordered one online. Have been looking at getting one for a while but was put off by the price of others. The reviews on the Lloyds site are good, so hopefully it will work fine!

    So..... I went in and they were £19.99 - was there a different one available in some stores or did the special offer just end?

    Ok, I get it, the cheaper price is online only.

    The one I picked up for my mum was £12.99 in store :frown:

    Delivery is £2.99 I think so it would still work out cheaper to order online, but I can't see why it's more expensive in store :angry:

    It's a more accurate way of calculating calories burned during exercise :smile:

    I got two last night but not all stores had them around where I live. I also was told that the offer just started, so would asked them to ring around for the correct price as the price was confirmed by the other two shops I rang before the one that had them in stock. x

    Just ordered one as I want a more accurate count and for that price it is worth a try. Shame you can't take it in the pool as I would love to see what I burn when I am instructing.

    I have got one and I have set it up this morning.

    Not sure if I am reading this right, although I sure I am but it irt saying I am sat here with a HR of 183 and have burned 400 cals buy doing sod all this morning.

    I am not impressed with it at all

    I don't much about HRMs as mine hasn't arrived yet, but do you have to subtract your BMR from the calorie value it gives your or is it clever enough to do that for you?

    Mine seems to work fine - at rest my pulse is about 60, which is the same as if I measure 'by hand' and for about a 40 minute aerobic workout (all I have tested it on since I got it) the calories burned is just over 300, which is a bit less than the MFP value but what I would expect as I have heard the MFP values are a little high.

    So maybe you've got a dud?

    I've wanted a HRM for ages.

    Can anyone who's got one of these Lloyds jobbies let me know if you can somehow plug it into your computer and upload the rests to create charts and stuff? I suppose I could do this myself but I love it when toys can do advanced things on their own!

    A couple more reviews would also be great so we know if Debs has just got a duff one or if they're actually rubbish.
