    I have the same one. How do you rest the calorie count. I have figured out everything but that. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    I reset the whole thing. It's annoying, but the only way i can track #s per workout.

    I'm not sure. I know I've brought it up before but it was always accidental. I just restart every workout bc I keep track of my calories from workouts on here. If I figure it out I'll post!

    Glad someone else is getting high results. I was worried about accuracy since my workouts burn so many more calories than some of the the predefined exercises. Must be the body weight difference that causes such a big fluxuation. I guess my 6'1", 195# frame burns more than average.

    I burn pretty high too! I am 120 ad 5'6 so I had my husband wear it
    and then my brother a different time and one burned
    low (husband, he's a firefighter and pretty in shape) and my
    brother burned pretty high.

    I have had mine for three weeks now and still cannot figure it out. I am going to try your suggestions today during my workout. I went to take it back but I cannot find the darn receipt so looks like I am stuck with it. Hope it works.. :)

    My problem is that after completing a workout, the time Below, In, and Above my target zone don't add up to to total time of the workout. Anyone know why?

    So, I just bought this thing and after much button pushing, figured out the basic in and outs. However, after every workout it won't reset! I get this icon at the top that looks like a book with a pen, which I assumed meant consult the manual, but it doesnt show that symbol anywhere. So I have been resetting the whole watch and having to re-create my profile for every workout. This is annoying. I'm ready to just throw the thing away and spend the $80 on a Polar! :/

    qtcasmith, the icon that looks like a book shows you that you're in Memory Mode. Page 20 of the manual talks about it. To reset after a workout, follow the instructions on page 18.

    wow I have this monitor system also. I am really confused as to how to reset the thing. One time one thing works and the next time not. I am getting really high calories burned numbers-so I am not sure how accurate it is. Should I just use the g and multiply by the 9. Plus is says in the manual the cH means calories consumed- is that the same as burned? Hopefully one day I will figure this out. I only paid 25.00 for it on clearance at target, so I don't feet too bad. It was listed at 75.00. Thanks for all the previous posts. They really help somewhat.

    I have this watch and HRM chest band. I only use when I workout to keep track of calories burned and my HR during workouts. As soon as I purchased the watch I set it up with my height, weight, and fitness "zone". I noticed that I burned more calories compared to preset calories burned on MFP for certain exercises, i.e. Jillian Michael's workouts. Has anyone else experienced this and how accurate has the watch been for you?

    bumping because I just bought this...and got LOST in button land! So far the suggestions on here work, however, I'd love to hear more about setting the zones. Also, is the chest strap worn differently on women then on men?

    EmmieCar86, you'd be a huge hero if you did a YOUTUBE video demonstrating how to use this watch!!! :-)

    I bought this thing and I can't get it to go past the 0'00'00 mark. I've pressed start/stop and nothing will happen. I'm almost reduced to tears because I need to find a way to track my kettlebell exercises! Can someone help?

    In the regular watch TIME setting you press MODE which will take you to the Heart Rate setting 0'00'00, once there you push the start/stop button. The timer (top numbers) should start regardless (you have to be wearing the chest strap to show numbers below) otherwise it will read 0'00'05 and this on the bottom - -.

    What $25 clearance at Target that is great! I got mine at $75 and well worth it.

    I won this watch and cannot get the stopwatch to work to save my life. I read through all of your posts but nothing is helping. I do not want the countdown watch - I want the stopwatch. Has anyone got this working?

    I hate to re-open this since it's been so long, but my watch is stuck in memory mode and I can't figure out how to get it out. Can anybody help?

    Thanks!

    I just purchased this watch; it was rather cheap so I figured what the hell. So far I’ve been able to figure out the important features on my own; the one issue that I am seeing so far is that for me the calories consumed/burned reads a bit low. The group I work with all use Polar gear and their burn rate is significantly higher than mine, like 250-300 calories more for a 45 minute workout, even though I push it harder than all but one of them.
    This could be because I don’t have my Zones set right, I keep playing with that.
    Personally, I think the watch is one of the nicer looking HRM/watch combos out there so I’m hoping that I can figure it out.

    seems like a poor design if its that hard to figure out how to start the timer
