- UPDATE ON THE CONNECTION PROBLEM:
It seems to work outside just fine, although still not very fast, but in buildings it is completely unreliable. It might be the signal reflections off the walls or the WiFi Networks around, but it barely transmits any heart rate data and the connection breaks down all the time. For me, this means I can forget it on the elliptical at home.
The major problem of the Kalenji ONRYTHM 110: The connection of the heart rate sensor strap is not very stable, even with full new battery. In fact, I had to begin by changing the battery in the chest strap, because it barely worked with the factory battery. After changing it, it connected most of the time, but the connection was not very stable and therefore the measurement not very reliable.
What do you think about it?
I just bought one. Works okay. I have "ready" on my screen when it is displaying my heartbeat. When I first turned it on to set the time and date, the base year is 2013. There are multiple languages in the package, and too short to understand, so trial and error of pushing the buttons to learn the outcome. I was hoping someone had reverse engineered it so I could keep a record of my pulse over the day and night. It is just instantaneous reading, no recording.
I have been using this watch for 3 years... I really happy with it. You are bad publicity.
Why's my heart rate thing isn't working suddenly is it the problems with the batteries?
@@oeekek Basically yep. The first signs of battery failling that measure starts to become less precise and then is going to worse and worse till it totally fails. Time to Change the coin... It will new again, my friend.
can you use the HR sensor with other brand trackers? does it use Bluetooth or ANT+?
No, it is proprietary. The next higher model from Decathlon, which is twice the price, has a Bluetooth sensor. That seems like a good deal.
ANT, regular one
@@techandmore99 Can you please use the regular decathlon watch please
Very bad product. I bought a W900 watch from the Decathlon but after one month using it had a display problem 😔
I've been using this for about 45 days and I'm actually quite happy with it, I know it's accurate because I've used it together with my oxymeter and the Kalenji is picking up changes faster than the oxymeter is but my Coros Pace 2 is on the way, I can actually do a side by side and we will see if the Coros Pace 2 (without chest strap) is any better. I'm also thinking of getting the Polar H10 Chest strap but I'm so scared it give the same results as my cheap Kalenji 😂😂
Thanks for sharing your experience! It worked well for me outside e.g. with mountain biking, too, but the connection was very poor in buildings. It is accurate because it has a chest strap sensor, which is much-much better than any optical sensor (in my experience), also picks up changes faster. For serious training, I would always go with a chest strap sensor, especially for interval training, where the heart rate changes often. I expect the Polar chest strap to be the same as the Kalenji for accuracy :)
@@techandmore99 ok the Coros Pace 2 wrist monitor is really bad, it's absolutely innacurate so now I'm running with 2 watches but I might just get a Kalenji Heart Rate monitor so I can pair it with my Coros watch and get all the readings in one place. Polar is made in my country but it more expensive here than it is overseas 🤦
When i try to connect the watch with the band it's not work. Near the heart appear the x. Help me pls
Did you use salt water? This video says it needs water but thats not correct. It needs to be salty like sweat.
Don't waste your time and money on this product, please invest on a more serious product. I cannot recommend this product at all after using it for several weeks. Heart rate reading jumps around while i jog / walk. Maybe i got a defect product :( I did not get lucky with this one.
Moistening the sensor contact before putting it on and changing the sensor battery might help (I usually get this effect with bad skin contact or low battery), but of course it also could be defect.
Just bought yesterday and since, I succeeded twice to see it count the heart rate. And while my real heart rate was 56 and the watch was showing....133 and it went till 144....
Don't waste your money people!!!
Try to moisten the skin pads on the sensor, left and right to the transmitter on the belt. That might be a problem (no electrical skin contact, when you are not sweating). And try it outside, open air, there might be less interference. Also the sensor battery might be worth trying to replace. Hope this helps.
@@techandmore99 Of course I ve moisten it, I ll check it some more times to see if I ll succeed, the last one I had it working fine out of the box. I ll check battery too. Thanks
Really bad quality
I think the quality is okay for the price, it's just that the connection was not reliable inside. For outdoor activities it can be sufficient if you don't need more features.
@@techandmore99 the connection is not the only reason for my opinion
