Garmin FR60 …..THIS PRODUCT REALLY IS A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!
I bought this product yesterday from Sam’s Club.
Setting the time was easy, but that was the only thing, setting up this device is rediculously complex and unintuitive.
There are many more than a few things you have to do before you are ready to go.
This device does not make your workout simple…. and you will hate the complexity of this device, the discomfort, and the quick setup guide is anything but quick and it refers you to a manual which you have to access on the web. It is clear that this is a quick to market device to steal money from impulive buyers who will put it in a drawer never to be used again.
The setup video on the Garmin site is misleading, this device is not simple.
After following Garmin instructions, I strapped on the heart rate monitor, and started thru the screen menus trying to get it to work,
after about 30 minutes of back and forth, screen to screen, I finally got the heart rate to showup, but I don’t know how I got it to work, as as soon as I changed screens it quit working.
The screen menu is complex and unintuitive.
Next I tried the virtual partner, it was just as confusing and frustrating.
Ok I moved on the footpod. It was easier to setup but still complex.
I went running with the footpod and it measured time and distance, but I could never monitor heart rate at the same time.
Afer comming back from running, I downloaded the GarminConnect which is required to get information into your computer. The download took too much time but finally came through.
Next.. get the Ant+ stick to pair with the FR60…after an hour of loading, reloading, rebooting…etc…. the ANT stick could not find the FR60 for pairing.
I returned the device to SAM’S FOR A REFUND.
SAVE YOUR MONEY, YOUR TIME, AND FRUSTRATION, FORGET THE
FR60 WITH ANT+ communiction.
