 If you think it's a tough watch, think again January 20, 2008
I wear my X6HR in a regular environment (office, home), nothing near extreme condition. However, in less than a year, I foung the rubber band of the heart monitor is broken in many placed and the rubber became brittle with many hairline cracks. This is clearly a quality issue with the material used for the watch. In a trip to the Keys, FL, I found that the little rubber ring that holds the band of the watch in place broke in two piece much like what happed to the heart rate monitor band. The band itself also has many small cracks. I am sure the band will break in half sooner or later. The LCD on the watch also became fuzzy when I wear it around beaches. This is supposed to be a watch that you can bring to an expedition, yet it failed miserably in a everyday environment. If you are looking for a tough watch, look elsewhere. My Casio G-shock never gives me any headache that this watch gives.
 Excellent Watch, EASY INTERFACE. AWESOME... November 10, 2007
I love this thing. It would be hard to live without. All the features work exactly as described. Instructions are simple and clear. Great product.
Everything I wanted and a lot more September 13, 2007
The watch delivers everything you want from a HR monitor + outdoor adventures and is very simple to operate.
 Great features, but needs serious polish. May 28, 2007
The X6HR has a great range of functions. However, the user interface and reliability of the product need serious work before its steep pricetag can be justified.
- Bezel buttons give no positive feedback, so you need to look closely at the screen to confirm button presses.
- The HRM function seems both unreliable. Heart rate occasionally drops out or spikes to double for no reason. I've parallel tested with a $30 HRM, which seems more reliable.
- The compass function is unbelievably poorly designed. Instead of drawing a compass on the face, or indicating N/S/E/W points around the bezel, the watch tells you the number of degrees you are facing, or prints N, NW, W, SE, etc on the screen. This is a completely counterintuitive way of displaying the information.
- The PC connection software looks like it was written in the 1990s- provides little functionality and poor usability.
This watch had great promise... but it has proven very disappointing in design.
nice hiking companion December 22, 2006
This is a nice hiking companion but it is not a training tool. You do not have any information regarding calorie or TE after the exercise. For training go to T6, T4 or T3. For hiking with PC cabality this is a good option. The Polar S625 can do a better work for hiking with additional trainign capabilities.
