    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

    I know it's been awhile since you made your post but did you figure it out?

    Hi All,

    I've had this watch HRM strap combo for over a year without any issues. If you have any questions I'll try to help answer them, but the instruction manual is pretty straight forward. (this is not the precision trainer XT for clarification)

    To start the timer:

    1. Click bottom left button until you see the timer view 00'00'00
    2. Then push the upper right button to start the timer. It will start counting your workout from this point and measuring your HR.
    3. During the workout, press the bottom right button to view the different categories, like calories burned, fat burned etc. As a tip I always scroll back to the original timer screen to keep track of my workout time.
    4. When you are done, click and hold the top right button in the timer view for about 2 secs. This will stop your timer.
    5. To reset, after you stop the time, hold down the bottom right button again for 2 secs. and it will reset the readings back to 0. Resetting can only be done on the timer (00'00'00) screen. (only screen i've noticed not having issues resetting on)

    I hope this helps!

    I have had this watch for close to 1.5 years and I love it! I never had any trouble figuring out how to start/stop/program anything so no problems there! My question is, during a workout, does anyone else have the problem of the "TOUCH" function showing up and detracting from the actual HR?

    I'll be 10 minutes into a workout and all of a sudden the watch will beep at me that it is TOUCH mode even though I haven't touched either of the contact points on the watch. I'll hit the MODE button and it will readjust to what the strap is reading. But a minute later it will beep TOUCH again! Its very frustrating!

    Any one else experiencing this and do you have a solution?
