    I've thought about ordering one myself, but I'm not sure what other benefits it would offer since I have a good HRM already. Would love to hear from others who might have one....

    I don't know how many people actually have one so they can give insight.
  • Would love to see some feedback as well...

    I have one, but my insight might be a little bias.

    I've had mine for a few months now. It does well with tracking my feet hitting the floor but other things like if you're cycling or whatever doesn't go well. Don't expect it to track when you're doing sit-ups or lifting weights. If you're feet aren't moving in some kind of walking motion then it won't give an accurate calorie burn.

    It's more of a glorified pedometer. It'll track the floors climb (hills, stairs, etc.) based on incline, it'll show how many steps you've taken, and it'll track your sleep. Problem is, if you're in the car, it'll usually count your driving as steps taken or floors climbed if going up hills.

    I'm glad people chimed in. I won't be getting one now. I already have a Polar HRM, so I'll just stick with that.
