Title: mixed feelings
Product review: I was amused when I read on the instructions that "battery life should average two years". I can't get one year out of these straps before they quit working. They seem to use up three or four batteries, then quit transmitting, so my choice is buying the whole package and accumulate watches and non-working straps or to continue to add to my collection of worthless straps. I would welcome input from anyone as to how these can be made to last longer. Are we supposed to remove the battery when not in use? Washing out the units and allowing to dry completely does not bring back the dead units to life. My frustration with Timex is great here, but am not sure of workable solutions.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
