Review title: Proprietary Bands Broke and SI Appears to out of Biz
Product review: I bought the Pro 9 Metal Heart Rate monitor from Bike Nashbar on Feb 11, 2008. During the past year, I've only worn the watch while cycling or running. The bands already tore in half while putting the watch on last week. I e-mailed Sports Instruments via their website and received a reply to check back with them in a week since they didn't have the bands in stock.I checked back in a week only to have my e-mail bounce back and their website is unreachable now. I tried again this past week and the e-mail bounces back.Looks like SI has gone out of business. The watch looks great, functioned fine for what I needed it to do (HRM); however, due to the battery issues and band issues, I would not recommend this watch!
