Summary: Watch
Comment: Works good the only problem I see is when trying to locate the heart rate signal...it takes a couple of minutes to do so but other than that the watch works great.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Short useful life
Comment: Used the monitor for six months, worked great. Suddenly "NO SIGNAL" appears whenever I try it. Changed batteries, slathered self with conducting gel, still NO SIGNAL. Shouldn't a $50 HRM last longer than six months?
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great value, works well
Comment: Compared to the other heart monitors, I feel this was a huge value. My husband asked me how much I paid for it when I first got it because he couldn't believe it was less than $100. Training with a heart monitor has changed my workouts for the better and improves the efficiency of my fitness routine. I bought this for spin class, but now I use it for every workout. I highly recommend it!

Summary: Sigma PC 15 Heart Rate Monitor
Comment: So fare the monitor has performed flawlessly. Nothing real fancy, but give me all the information I need. Easy to use and good instructions. Definitely a product I would recommend for an entry level HR monitor

Summary: Inexpensive, but frustrating
Comment: I've had this heart rate monitor for over a year now. I use it for running and biking. It was one or the lower priced models I could find with features such as target zones. For the most part it has been reliable and helpful.
Problems I have encountered:
1. Not sure how it reset, but one day it was displaying in German. Only way I could reset it (since I don't understand German) was to dig out the manual and match up the German instruction pictures to the English instructions (there are 6 languages in the manual) until I could get it back to English.
2. Generally I find the menu system confusing. I'd like to be able to see Clock time with the Heart Rate, but that is not easy to do. It seems like you can get that, but that it switches out of that setting on its on.
3. Sometimes it gets stuck at a heart rate - usually at some unreasonable rate, like twice what it should be. I have to stop running and wait until it corrects itself.
4. Probably the most frustrating bit is that the training time doesn't work unless it is getting a pulse rate. If there is "No Signal" then the timer stops running. No signal and you can't start the stop watch. Went for a 30 minute run today and the watch only counted 19 minutes of the run, because the signal kept dropping.
5. NO SIGNAL - After a year I have figured this out pretty well. Generally I can wet my chest and the band "pickup" areas (saliva works quite well) and get a signal. In the winter this may not work and I use an electrode gel I got from the drug store (most don't carry it in my area, so I had to shop around to find it.) The chest strap does stretch over time and you will need to adjust it ever now and then to get the band to stay put during exercise.
6. The handle bar attachment for the bike is made for small bars. It still works on my road bike, but I can't use the O-ring they include to "lock" it in place. So when I take the watch off the attachment, I have to remove the attachment from the bike or it may fall off and get lost.
7. The battery compartment cover was difficult to turn on my watch and I almost destroyed the slot you put the coin in before I got it open. Tried to open it last week and it is too damaged to open with a coin. Will need special attention to open it.
For the money it isn't a bad deal. The transmitter isn't being picked up anymore by the watch, so I'm in the market for a new monitor. I won't buy another Sigma.
