MYZONE MZ-60

Watch arrived with a flat battery. The manual advises getting a jeweller to change it. This cost cost me an extra £20😟

During exercise, the buttons can be accidently depressed whilst flexing the wrist thus changing the screen display - annoying!

The MZ-60 is supposedly an update to the MZ-50, although Myzone have done little to promote it. The MZ-60 isn't as cheap looking as the MZ-50 (horrible plasticky strap), but its function remains the same: to receive data from the MZ-3 belt. The MZ-60 is powered by a CR2032 battery, which should keep it going for months. The display is a nasty, old-tech LCD that's difficult to read unless there's a light overhead. There is a rather dim green backlight for when there's no light at all. The watch comes without any instructions. There is an online quick start guide, but that only relates to pairing with the MZ-3. The three buttons that switch between displays should be self-explanatory, but I could never fathom how to get the time showing on the HRM screen. Myzone support wasn't particularly helpful. Overall, the MZ-60 felt like a step back in time. It would have been much better if the watch had an integrated HRM so the uncomfortable MZ-3 belt could be ditched altogether.

Really helped me get back into running as I don’t like carrying things. Simple, robust and easy to use.

I can’t believe that Myzone think that this is worth £45. I also can’t believe that myzone, who have a phenomenal belt and phenomenal app think that this is an acceptable accessory. Considering it’s only job Is displaying basic information, you’d think it could do it... but no. Even if it were £9.99, I’d still feel it was over priced.Fiddly buttons, no instructions in the box, a light that barely lights and an appalling display. I mean just awful. The watch is big and you think, ok, big screen to see lots of info... no, 50% of the bulk is just the plastic surround, and i bought the small one!It doesn’t beep or change colour when you hit the heart rate zone, you can only choose one piece of info to be large enough to see it, the other info is so small and dark, you have to stop exercising to see it!!I was going to keep it regardless of how terrible it is, (because it’s safer than running with my phone in my hand), but yesterday it unpaired itself and completely froze. So rather than fiddle with it and potentially ruin my chance of a refund, I’m returning it,Hopefully myzone will ask people who actually use the watch, to help them design a better one. Like, one you can see at a glance, one that changes colour like the app, one that isn’t so huge you can’t use a kettlebell properly, one which justifies the ridiculous price tag!Such a disappointment.

Showed up early, is exactly as advertised, works instantly with the Myzone belt and display monitor, couldnt be more impressed

I was personally very disappointed with this purchase for the following reasons :1. Apart from standard sports watch functions, the only extra feature is a very small HR reading in bottom LH corner when connected to your MyZone belt. I would imagine that it is almost impossible to read this whilst training.2. The display is also very difficult to see and the backlight makes little difference. The features contained in the phone app are amazing and far superior, they're easy to read and there is a built in stop watch. All in all, the watch in my opinion, is a total waste of money.I've reverted back to the app on my mobile and whilst cumbersome to carry around in the gym, gives very good graphics and is far better.The return and refund was seamless and immediate for which I am most grateful, thankyou

Firstly, this watch was manufactured in March 2018 - I can only surmise that they are trying to shift old stock. The result of this is that the battery has been sitting in the watch since then and as you can see from the photos this has resulted in rust and corrosion. I only discovered this after the watch fogged up and ceased to work on day two of use.Absolute junk. Do not waste your money.
