User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Cool pedometer/watch
Got this watch not long ago. The pedometer works good and the watch is stylish. It has all the functionality that you need in a digital watch. My only complaint is that the crystal is very soft. I have scratched it a number of times already, which has been a disappointment. I am hoping I can find a replacement crystal of better material, but I’ve not had time. The watch is also a little difficult to operate, but it does have an owners manual that comes with it that I haven’t taken time to read in detail. Other than that I am very happy with the purchase.
1 Star Terrrrrible Customer service at SPORTLINE
The watch seemed to function for about thirty days. After that I contacted customer service via email and telephone with no response what so ever so they are either out of business or just plain don’t care!
1 Star Returning it today
I have the same problem as another reviewer, you can’t set up the pedometer using the instruction manual given with the watch. Pressing and holding the mode button while the watch is in pedometer mode does nothing. Definitely not worth the fifty dollars. Complicated set up so far with tiny cheap plastic buttons. Also a very cheap wristband. Terrible choice.
2 Stars At least the watch works
The Sportline 955 – after setting the watch function, I tried to set the pedometer function. To do this, the instructions say “In pedometer mode, press and hold the mode key to enter the setting sequence.” This didn’t work for me. After repeating this operation several times, I found that holding the mode key in pedometer mode does nothing. Therefore, I have a watch, but not a pedometer.
1 Star Three strikes it’s out
The instruction manual for this item is unbelievable. I have a Ph.D. from MIT (no joke) and it took me 90 minutes to get through it. Even then, the sequence to change parameters takes lots of getting used to. (there are two interlocking loops of parameters.)
The bezel *is* soft and scratches easily.
The unforgivable? Today I did my first half marathon, and the chronograph function ran slow, then fast, then slow, then slow. It was totally useless. Pretty irritating performance for a big event.
