Anyone wear this as a watch??????????????????????? Hi, I am considering wearing mine as a daily watch if I get one. I am just wondering if anyone here wears theirs as a watch and how does it perform? Does it stay in watch mode? Can you turn off the screen and then turn it back on to instantly have the time available? Can it does this task reliably, and does battery life play a factor? Any comments, suggestions, and opinions welcome, and thanks in advance. Anyone wear this as a watch??????????????????????? Hi, I am considering wearing mine as a daily watch if I get one.

I do and I don't think that will shorten battery life and you can turn it on and off instantly and it's looks great. Mine is silver nano with a black watchband and i really love itJust buy a iWatch on Amazon you wont regret

Hey Victoria: My son broke his band too probably by tugging too hard when taking the watch off. I'm gonna write to the company now to see if replacement bands are available. Please post if you found another band. Thanks, John

Battery is pretty good on this. It can last all day on a single battery. And it's easy to swap it out if u must change. Now when using WiFi battery can go a Lil faster. Other then that a good watch I recommend

Sounds like it is defective to me. The 1st watch we had was amazing. We bought another one for our youngest and had to return it cause it was defective :( good luck

I just changed the battery. It depends on usage. I have on average ran 3-4 times per week of about an hour. It lasts about 5 months, and is super easy to switch :-) I also use it as a watch every day. Hope this comment helps.

I apologize if this is an ***obvious*** point, but I have found that there is dramatically better performance in finding satellites if you turn on your watch and leave it on the ground/on a rock/on a post that is in relatively clear view of the sky while you stretch or get ready to run/ride. Rather than turn on the watch and put it on, I suggest to all users to try this simple trick. You will have a much better experience using the watch (mine is a 305).

Hi! That is correct. Here is a link to a YouTube vid on the watch. Watch "null" on YouTubehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8FZFzTOHIA

Hi Lourival! Are you one of the students on my last spearfishing course? I have bought one of this watch and I am very satisfied. However, I still do not had to change the battery. If you are from Brazil and that student of my course, I suggest you to open a topic in Guarapas about that. There are people there who have this watch longer than me. Cheers!

This question was asked a few months ago, but I'm wondering if it's changed yet: is this model truly the 2.0? With 1, 2, & 3hr settings plus intermittent setting? It says it's the 2.0 model, but shows the old model. Anyone get one recently who can verify or even better, upload a pic? Thanks.

My watch does pause if I remain in one spot after about 15 seconds but it isn't always reliable. I am not sure why other people are reporting theirs do not pause. You can pause it manually fairly easily.

reset your watch with correct age. Make sure your wrist isn't sweaty when you are taking a reading. Check your manual! Mine works great and I was able to set it without asking my husband.

I do not wear it 24/7. When I am going to use my wrist (ex. at work) I make sure to wear it. Your doctor should be asked this question too though. Let him/her decide.

Even though the battery is rechargeable we all know they all degrade and lose the ability to recharge. It does not appear they made this watch to be able to change the battery is the back plate is screwed together with some pretty tiny screws. I'm sure there's a You Tube video out there that shows how to take the thing apart and disconnect wires and stuff to get to it but I'm sure that would void the warranty. It's good for two years though. Better than most.That's the way companies do it anymore. They want you to have to buy a new item when the battery loses the ability to recharge.

I've had the same problem I've tried everything 409, bleach on paper towel wrapped around the band......the pink around the clock face is fine, just the wrist band......btw, don't soak the band in cleaner, can result in disintegration....when I spoke to person at Polar, they kept thinking I was complaining about fading......and I kept saying no, dirt......otherwise great watch and HRM, good motivator, light pink gives it a nice feminine look, but don't know a solution to prevent "the grunge" look, and I've tried

OK, I listen to IHeartRadio all day using Bluetooth headset. I had doubted if I could use this watch at the same time I use my Bluetooth headset since it would require that my phone "pair" with both at the same time. BUT, I read the answers to this question and assumed that someone knew the answer and that in some way the watch allowed this. But I got the phone today and cannot figure out HOW!! Any help??

Do you use a watch? I just use my band. Is feels like a watch. Not that bad for me.

I've never needed to since I just got it but looked on the back of watch & it appears to look just like a regular watch backing that can be removed like a regular watch. Perhaps you can go onto Geneva website & see if they give any information or send them an email to ask? Hope this helps a bit
