OTG,
I am glad you like it. I keep looking at different models, it is very hard to decide.

Apparently the calorie-counting feature is way off, though. It said I burned 772 calories for a 5-mile brisk walk. I asked at another forum, and they said using a power meter, the calories on the HRM can be off by 70 percent. I'm pretty bummed because I had hoped the HRM would accurate.

OTG, sorry about the bum calorie feature. That is a big bummer. Are all the settings (weight/age) set proerly? At least with walking/running you can figure that you burn about 100 calories per mile (regardless of how long it takes you to do that mile). That, of course, is only a rough estimate. When I'm doing speedwork I actually burn a little more per mile than when I'm just jogging. Go figure.

OTG,
That seriously stinks! Did you double check the settings for; age, weight, height, gender to make certain they are programmed correctly as Tri Girl suggested? I have the F4 which has worked brilliantly for me and is quite accurate. I just want to upgrade and have more options for my running. My dream is the RS400sd or RS800sd-neither are in my price range, but I can dream.
Hopefully you will get this straightened out soon.Jennifer
