Bought this monitor and found the instructions on setting the watch up very hard to understand and follow. In addition in a few days it stop working and was sent back to Amazon. Ordered a Polar RS-100.

Sigma Sport, a German Company is producing very good bike computers which I and my family used to equip our bicycles with. 2 years ago I bought a HRM Sigma balance with a few essential features. I was not satified with the touch sensors arraged on a ring around the display, because I did not really feel when it was taking the finger push. Another flaw I discovered that the data link between the breast strap and the watch failed to work occationally without having any glue why. Due to a report in a bike magazine I decided to buy this PC 15. On this HRM the buttons are much better to push and clearly to recognize but I find the menu for the features that you can choose to be displayed confusing and not very easy to find. Again I discovered that the Data link failed to work sometimes for a couple of minutes and I have no read-out. Why I cannot tell. The spot under the sensors were always wet from my sweat. I think this is a general Sigma manufacturing flaw. I have sent the PC 15 to Sigma to have it checked. They denied any discrepancy but they have sent me a new breast band(?)
Loosing data while you were running, biking or walking messes up the total results and the end of the training.

Used the monitor for six months, worked great. Suddenly “NO SIGNAL” appears whenever I try it. Changed batteries, slathered self with conducting gel, still NO SIGNAL. Shouldn’t a $50 HRM last longer than six months?

This was the first product that I purchase off of the internet that I felt is JUNK! I can kick myself for throwing away the box. The chest ban the is use fails over 50% of the time. I e-mailed the mfg. and was told to water down the contacts. That worked for less then fifteen seconds and received a no signal read out on the watch. Do yourself a favor and go to consumer report let this company rate the product first before purchasing. I will sell this watch for $10. 00 because that is the only module that works. BYER BE WARE!

The sigma vigilance has a quality much poor one. I have bought the PC7 a year makes and before I have put it turns it under l' heavy shower it stops to work (is supposed in order to be resistance all' water of 3m). I have transmitted to the sigma and I must pay all expenses of transport from (from China in Brasi them). After 1 year the battery is down and the posterior part is rusted (has a vigilance of Casio of 10 years that is used is swimming in pond and water of sea and has not at all rusted).
Don& #039; the t it suggests the sigma vigilances.
