I bought this to help me stay on track with my fitness goal. I'm not a gym hound, but I want to get into better shape as my job is not conducive to getting a lot of exercise. Since I have gotten my Garmin I have been reaching my step goal and my resting heart rate has been coming down. This unit connects up to my phone really well and the app is full of information. I wear this in place of my watch and seems to be of good quality. I thought it would be a pain to have to charge it, but about every 4 or 5 days I hook it to the charger for a couple of hours and it's good to go again. Keep in mind that if you are looking for a 100% accurate heart rate monitor you might look at the more expensive monitors because this is great at giving you a snap shot of what your pules is doing at any given time, it's not to that degree of accuracy.
