very well made- a bit complicated since so many functions yet pretty logical to learn the basics.
the heart rate monitor chest strap insertion tab that attaches to the monitor belt has too sharp and narrow tabs. they need more material and softer radius. the tab on mine broke after a week while trying to detach the strap from the monitor belt. amazon sent me an entire new unit overnight- all I needed was the elastic strap. it needs a basic design improvement on the chest strap tabs otherwise a good unit with many useful functions. the real time wireless works well.
