    Thank you! I need a new heart rate monitor for my beloved - his doesn't count calories. Might buy a new one for myself, too!

    I have never ordered from them before but some of my friends have. No one has ever had a problem with the items.... I took this right from their site.

    "How do I return a defective product?
    Unless we specifically tell you not to, call the manufacturer of the product you bought. You will likely get a replacement of a new model or better item from them. If we still haven't dissuaded you, email rma@woot.com with your woot order number, the name of the product you are returning, and the detailed problem with the item. We will respond with return authorization by the next business day. Because we aren't likely to have a replacement in stock, you should be prepared for a refund-only option if that's all we can do. Know that return freight will be at your expense. Again, you will probably get a better deal from the manufacturer, or whoever else handling member service for that product. "

    I've never had to return anything through woot, so I can't speak to that.

    Everything they've shipped to me has been carefully packed with lots of padding, always arriving in tip top shape.

    Thanks so much for this. I just ordered a back up for when my Polar F6 goes out and i have to send it back in to have the batteries changed. This was a great price.

    (12:06 AM, today) turboboost asks, "How does the chest strap attach?"
    (12:06 AM, today) OdysseusX wonders, "Is there a list somewhere of compatible treadmills, and more importantly, how to get the program to work if they are compatible? "
    (12:09 AM, today) HeadAcheJoe says, "I have this same model, but mine carries a Reebok branding. Works well for me, and the strap works great with the machines at the gym."
    (12:09 AM, today) innuendopanda posts, "Downsides were that you had to rub water on the sensors that are against your chest to get it started, if someone else was too close to you with one on it would pick up their heart rate too."
    (12:10 AM, today) Jagg3d3d93 tells turboboost, "There are elastic straps the go through the holes in the back of the band. "
    (12:13 AM, today) Mavyn spots a similar/previous wooting.
    (12:18 AM, today) moscoeb would like to know, "can this also be linked up with some kind of distance tracking device?"
    (12:21 AM, today) Bombared thinks it's Polar-ready.
    (12:28 AM, today) dannypet queries, " Can the watch detect your heart rate without the chest strap?"
    (12:43 AM, today) moscoeb tells dannypet, "No, the chest strap is the monitor, and it sends the signal to the watch which displays it so you can read the information."
    (12:46 AM, today) pantman1212 asks, "How does the unit test the % to max heart rate? Do you have to input your max heart rate or will it detect it for you?"
    (1:04 AM, today) insomniakv wonders about strap placement.
    (1:20 AM, today) jkee discusses the similar, Reebok model.
    (2:20 AM, today) HolyMythos wants to know about battery life.
    (5:50 AM, today) kelemvor has a question, "Anyone know how the calorie counting works on these things?"
    (6:29 AM, today) reemrevnivek thinks it does laps/splits poorly.
    (6:54 AM, today) csilkman says, "I have owned and used very extensively two of the Reebok models (same thing) and would highly recommend it for the money... if you don't need all the fancy features"
    (6:54 AM, today) wootasourous wonders, " Is this thing water resistant or water proof at all?"
    (7:10 AM, today) kebrinkman inquires about battery maintenance.
    (7:23 AM, today) davidwess asks, " Will this unit export data to a computer, for additional analysis/retention in a spreadsheet?"
    (7:26 AM, today) reemrevnivek responds, "Yes, the battery on both the watch and strap are the CR-0232 batteries. They're accessible by using a quarter to unscrew the cover."
    (7:28 AM, today) reemrevnivek thinks, "Nope. "Memory" will give you the date and time of the workout, duration, average and maximum heartrate, and an estimate of calories burned. Won't do any sort of export. "
    (7:29 AM, today) justagigilo85 replies, "The watch is water proof. The strap is NOT."
    (7:31 AM, today) reemrevnivek adds, "Yup, I've showered and run in the rain with mine. Wouldn't go diving with it though...just an o-ring seal."
    (8:15 AM, today) acchildress states, "My battery has lasted about 9 months using it about 5 hours a week."
    (8:38 AM, today) twenty6point2 tells us, "For anyone wondering about whether it's comfortable, I just ran a marathon 4 days ago while wearing it. "
    (11:08 AM, today) mmkenzie is not impressed.

    I missed out on it, I wanted to get one for my mom for Mothers Day. I didn't know that www.woot.com is a one day one deal site and the deal expired :sad:

    I wear my Reebok while swimming. It works fine. It's water resistant to 30m and I'm right on top of the water when I swim. :happy:

    But I don't like it. I find it hard to use and it doesn't do a bunch of stuff I need for my triathlon training. It's fine if you don't do a lot of interval training and can deal with the UI though.

    The ones that you see on online for $20-30 are a discontinued model, btw. That's why they are so cheap.
