I have not seen that problem at all....the watch is to remind my husband to urinate every 4 hours and it has not missed a beat since he started using it.

I have had no problems with this watch and it seems to work well in every way including being loud enough to be heard in a noisy environment.

Not sure how long you've had it or how old it is but have you tried changing the battery? There's a small battery door with a lil screw on the back and looks like it takes a button/watch size battery. I would give that a try.

My pink is looking pretty bad. I'll try the diswasher and hope is doesn't hurt it. I also just changed the time and now the settings are to high. The beats are just to high. I lost the instructions. Any recommendations gals?Polar F6 Women's Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Pink Coral)

(9/4/2013) I think that may be something unique with the more expensive ones. I've found that with the cheaper ones, I have to wet my finger sometimes to get the rate to register. So far all my workouts have been rather sweaty but not overly heavy, so I guess it depends on how much sweat since I did read in the instructions not to submerge this one in water or take a shower with it or anything. I usually keep one of those dry sweat towels with me anyway (you know, the kind that wipe away your sweat but don't seem to ever get soaking wet no matter how much you wipe). I haven't had the watch for a full week yet, though, so let me put it through the wringer at my gym and out on the track a few times. Then I'll update on the results. Update: (9/18/2013) I've sweated up a storm with it and it keeps going. However, I'm a bit concerned with the accuracy of its measurements. I've had to set mine at the lowest sensitivity level possible and it still has a tendency to register almost double what a machine registers in burned calories. For example, I used the elliptical at my gym for an hour (using grips to register HR after having told it how much I weigh, etc.). I told the watch the same thing and used the finger pulse thing every 5-7 minutes during the workout. The HRs registered about the same on both the machine and the watch but the total calories burned was almost double by the time I made it to the end of the workout. My coworker bought one too, so I'm having her test hers out to see if she gets the same results then I'll report back again.

The issues I have with this watch is that it tries to offer too much functionality with limited buttons. So you use the same button for different functions. You press a button longer or shorter to get different results. For a 62 year old man, getting unexpected results in frustrating. However, for a 11 year old curious boy it may be a challenge that builds confidence. He may become the expert user that can teach this old dog some new tricks. While I avoid re-setting up this watch, I still use it daily. My opinion is that the watch is suitable for a curious 11 year old.

that is exactly what I did as I have different sensors just stop, was not batteries. just check that the sensor works with that watch.

I turned it on once, and it has tracked it since beginning. Resets each day. I think it will keep tracking until you specifically turn off the function, not just the watch.

Played a few times with the bluetooth connected to my iPhone. Haven't had any issues with it disconnecting during the round. Actually noticed last time I played, that it was a bit annoying. ALL notifications that appear on your iPhone (i.e. emails, texts, application notifications, etc.) appear on the watch and makes it tedious to get back to the distance screen or clear all notifications during a hole, but that may just be me. Hopefully that helps. Definitely love the watch, I wear it beyond just playing, just as an everyday watch. Considering its cost, might as well get as much use out of it.

I read the Customer Comments first before purchasing and I gambled on it. After getting the watch I also read very carefully of the instruction and I tried not to set ALL immediately and I only set the Time Zone first. Since it is radio controlled so I let the radio to set the time for me. I think it was about an hour or two later the watch set the hands automatically. On the day to Fall Back I did not turn the hands either, instead, I waited until almost 3 a.m. Sunday the radio automatically set the proper time and I did not have to do anything. I really don't remember everything I did, but the "rule" I followed was not to touch on ALL these buttons. Most of us are rather impatient and we want to know it all immediately. When I realized that the Alarm was set at 3 a.m. by the factory I did not rush to change it until I had time to read the instruction and I did just that little. I'm just guessing: If you, Anita, live on the West Coast, why not set your Time Zone to, say, East Coast Time Zone for one day and watch the hands readjust to the East Coast TZ, then a day later change to the Pacific Time Zone and let the radio to adjust the time but don't expect to see the change promptly. Good luck, we have to help each other in this Internet Era Economy. baoedong@yahoo.com

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

Sorry Amy, I am still trying to set up my watch to do anything! Three other people have tried to set up my watch. I believe that the words Quality was misused.

Mine did that a few times. It seems to have corrected itself. They say not to hold down the button longer than one second unless using it on someone. I chalked mine up to my overuse. No permanent damage though. Good luck

Do you use RunKeeper currently? If so, expect to have to do a manual export/import to get it to take. Also, MySports desktop app still locks up for me everytime I sync (have to close and reopen/resync). I didn't care much for the MySports website, but I already use RunKeeper anyway. It's completely comfortable, and sized just like a normal digital watch. I REALLY want to like this watch, and I still kinda do. If you're not in a hurry, I'd recommend holding off until/if they fix it... as it seems to be one of the best out there for the price--once it's all working. I'm holding out hope for it, but will be watching my return window closely.

When you hold the strobe button for long enough, it stays in strobe, if you have tried clicking the large button and it's still in strobe and won't stop, you may have to remove the battery and wait thirty seconds and put it back together. If that doesn't work you may have gotten a lemon, talk to the distributor and or manufacturer and try to get it sorted. Sorry for your bad luck, I have abused the mess out of mine and it still works like a Swiss watch.

I purchased the system for a friend and he mentioned this problem, but when I checked it out (timer ect.) it did not malfunction on my watch. Now that you have peaked my intrest, I need to contact my friend and get an update.
