 Cheap and it shows. August 8, 2008
Radio could not lock on to a very strong FM signal for more than a few seconds at a time. ANY movement broke the signal. Even when the signal was locked on to the reception and volume was not was useable!
don't buy August 1, 2008
bad design for the attach belt, it is o way to work out to attach on arms.
plus FM radio quality is not acceptable
Avoid! May 20, 2008

What makes a radio a 'Sport' radio? Does the mere fact that it will fit in your pocket or come with a terrible armband (which broke after 10 days) qualify? In my mind a 'Sport' radio must have one very important feature: a timing mechanism. Now while that missing feature makes me miss my old Sony, I don't mind it missing because if they had added it they would have screwed it up as much as they did the rest of the Radio.
I won't bore you with a long rant about a crappy radio which really isn't worth talking about which I only do in hopes of preventing you from wasting your money.
Lowlights:
When you take out the battery to replace it all your presets are gone.
Presets are a terrible pain to set.
It became increasingly difficult to change the station and volume requiring more and more pressure on the buttons each time.
Reception is pathetic. With my old sport radio I had extremely good reception around my neighborhood. With this 'sport' radio I get extremely good reception of 4 or 5 stations at once! When I listen to 100.9 I hear 98.1, 97.3 and 102.9 as well! Not to mention the all static all the time station.
On AM it is actually a lot better. The only other station that bleeds into it is the aforementioned all static station.
In conclusion... learn from my mistake and navigate away from this item immediately.
 worthless armband May 9, 2008
The radio works fine, but the armband is worthless. The sewing of the velcro is incorrect and does not attach!
 The arm band is NOT sewn wrong! April 25, 2008

Many people have said the arm band is sewn wrong. IT iS NOT. (e.g. "The arm band was a puzzle, all the velcro patches were on the same side which would not allow wrap around strapping so I had to glue a patch on the opposite side at the appropriate location and it works like it should.").
I thought so too, at first. Then I figured out how it works and it is really easy to use and comfortable.
If you put the radio down on its face you are looking at the velcro band as it crosses behind the radio. Your instinct is to stick this on your arm and try to wrap the strap completely around your arm. If you do this, the velcro will not stick and you will think the product is broken.
Instead, grab the velcro band in the center and LIFT it up so it forms a loop. You can now see the back of the radio (in fact part of the radio forms about 1/3 of the circumference of the loop). Insert your arm into the loop. Now grab the end of the strap on one end, turn it back around on itself and stick it to the strap. Repeat for the other side.
The trick is to recognize that your arm touches the back of the radio. The velcro does NOT wrap 360-degrees around your arm.
