User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Finally!!!
I’ve had this watch for about a month now. It seemed to take it’s time arriving, but once it got here it has been put to use and it is well worth the value.
I read a review about how it was a bit difficult to set, but I did not have a single problem with setting it. I always read the instructions so that may be why it was so easy for me to set, also knowing that this is a German manufactured watch I figured if ever there was a time to read the book, this is it.
I didn’t even read the entire manual, just skipped over to the page that had a break down of what every function was used for, and how to set them and that was it. Took me all of 10 minutes to input my personal data, and the next thing I know, I’m counting calories.
Just in case you don’t know, you must have the heart rate monitor on AND the stopwatch must be going in order for the calorie counter to work. I skipped over that part and was confused for a minute or two, but once I turned the stopwatch on, no worries.
Great watch, more user friendly than I expected it to be, and very durable.
4 Stars LOVE IT!
I love my Sigma HRM. When I asked my husband to help me with a workout plan, he stressed the importance of maintaining the heart rate. After researching several, I chose this one. I really like the calorie counter! It’s a bonus for me. This little jewel has been such a motivator for me.
The chest belt is comfortable and after a while you forget your wearing it. I like to wear mine all day after a workout to watch the calorie counter go up, up, up. The watch itself is a bit bulky for me but it’s not that bad. It’s funny.. my daughter or 3 knows mommy’s going to the gym when she sees my blue watch!
I love this product and would recommend it for anyone who wants to watch their progress!
1 Star Stopped working after 2 weeks
I bought this and was so please because it had exactly what I wanted and not too much jumble that I didn’t need. After about 2 weeks it stoppped reading my heart rate and would just display a “zero” for the heart rate. It became so frusterating because when there is no heart rate then it stops counting calories too. I’m returning it and finding another hrm.
1 Star Stopped working
I had the same experience as “Shopaholic.” After about two weeks, it just stopped working and displayed 0 for my heart rate. Currently in the process of returning the watch and hoping for a full refund. EDIT: I contacted the Niagara company who makes this product and they sent me a UPS shipping label to return the defective watch and are sending me a more expensive heart rate monitor watch at no extra charge. Pretty upset that the other watch didn’t work, but really happy with my customer service experience! 
Hoping the new watch works well!
