It's nice to know someone who has actually used one of these things. Too many of the gadgets that look great on paper turn out to be paperweights. Thanks for the warning.</p> http://www.starling-fitness.com/archives/2005/04/27/fitsense-speedometer-systems/#comment-193 Kristine Fri, 29 Jul 2005 09:42:23 +0000 /?p=183#comment-193 <p>One additional negative that I found. If you are large and slow and alternate between walking and running, you will find that your data varies pretty wildly. One minute it will tell you that you're running an impossible (for me) 9 minute mile and the next you're running a 17 minute mile without you ever changing your pace. I've been told by the company that I'll get better readings if I stick to using it for walking until I'm able to run at a consistently faster (than my actual 13-14 minute mile) pace. Suffice to say, it's been a $200 paperweight since I found that out.</p>
