I have been wearing the LifeTrak Move C300 as my primary watch for most of a month now. Due to the rubber watchband and highly adjustable closure, it is pretty comfortable, despite the fact that the “head” of the watch is very large/long for my small wrist. I just returned from a 10-day vacation spent mostly outdoors in Lake Tahoe, Yosemite National Park and other outdoors areas in California and Nevada. The C300 allowed me to monitor my activity from day to day. I also wear the watch at home, to walk the dog and at the gym to not only monitor my activity but my heart rate and % of target heart rate. The thing I like most about the LifeTrak over my older heart monitor (Polar S120 Heart Rate Monitor Watch) is that I no longer have to wear a strap with a transmitter on it around my chest. I always hated that part of the Polar, so I love not having to wear it with the LifeTrak. The C300 has a number of screens: Using the top button on the side of the watch: Using the bottom button on the side of the watch: Using the top and bottom buttons on the side of the watch simultaneously: Using the large gray button on the face of the watch: I found it disturbing to note a few major discrepancies between the Amazon product page for the C300 and the pamphlets that come with the product (or between what the pamphlet says it will do and what it actually does). 1) Is the product waterproof? UPDATED 4/24/14: When I initially reviewed this watch, I felt that the “it’s waterproof if you don’t touch any buttons” thing was bogus. I like the watch so much that I haven’t wanted to test it by submerging it. However, yesterday, I had the opportunity to spend 2 hours in an indoor heated swimming pool and I decided to keep this on (as I wear it daily) to see, once and for all, if it’s really waterproof. I wore it the entire 2 hours, while swimming and teaching my Little Sister to swim. I did not touch any buttons. Today, the watch is still performing very well, so I think LifeTrak’s claim is actually true that it is waterproof as long as you don’t use any of the buttons. But I still say if I’m wearing waterproof watch for the point of tracking fitness, I SHOULD be able to push the buttons to check my heartrate, etc. 2) Does the product work with fitness apps? 3) Is the product’s band reversible? Some notes:

Years and years ago, I sought a watch that would measure my pulse. I’m a runner and that seemed like an easy objective–the watch would be on my wrist and through some sensory magic, tracking would be easy.
I could only find one watch that did this. It must have been golden because it was stolen out of a checked airline bag, and I resorted to a Polar heart rate monitor watch with a strap. That worked fine, but I hated the need for the strap, so I like this little watch because it does the simple thing I’ve always wanted. Problem is, the world has passed this unit by. It has Bluetooth connectivity and talks a good game, but it’s not a GPS device and the measuring of steps to track mileage is imperfect at best. You have to train the device and if you run at different speeds–such as a training pace, tempo pace, and a race pace–the tracking is worthless. I can’t really recommend purchasing this unless all you’re really after is an easy way to monitor your heart rate. That would have met the grade in 1999, but in 2013, not so much. The good news is that such a watch now is cheaper than the one I bought and had stolen in 1999, so there’s that. I recommend exploring all the new toys first and stair-stepping down until you match features with your budget. If that gets you to a heart rate monitor and you’re a walker with a consistent pace, you’ll be happy with this. 0

 A gadget with more frustrations than functions, By

This should be a treat for myself, a little convenience for me to use when I exercise. Instead, the LifeTrak Move C300 Heart Rate Monitor is yet another lesson in why product launches shouldn’t be rushed. First impressions matter.
FRUSTRATIONS * Much of the information displayed is too small to easily read. In summary, I wouldn’t recommend the LifeTrak Move C300 Heart Rate Monitor and I’m hesitant to try anything else from the same manufacturer. What’s the point of offering Bluetooth connectivity unless it runs smoothly? And how can a company justify launching an electronic device that only supports iOS devices?
