Questions & Answers
My main reason for buying it was to run. I like it a lot. My shirt or top is clipped to the device so I can hear the sounds.
You want to aim for about 180 steps or beats per minute to equal the cadence of the elite runners. My fastest marathon was run when I used it. I was unable to keep up with 180 beats a minute at the last 5 miles on my last marathon, but my practice marathon had the fastest time. Regardless of how high the metronome is set, the highest speed it can achieve is 180. When it comes to running, all you need is the magic beat of 180.
There's a good chance it'll work. You can adjust the volume with a small knob on the side, but the lamp continues to flash regardless of what volume you set it to.

The reason I bought this is because the pattern dances at figure skating schools are to a specific tempo, so I needed somewhere to practice without A skater I met at a competition was using a device similar to that, and I thought it would help me keep track of time because I have difficulty keeping up In terms of the unit, it is very well built and quite heavy, but it also has a very There is absolutely no tonal separation between the primary and secondary beats in the song. This is my main problem with the sound quality. Whenever I clipped it to my jacket, I could hardly hear the first beat, which was even more difficult. With its thumb wheel volume, I was able to adjust the volume, but I never quite found a sweet spot. I also found that the lack of clear separation frustrated It was clear that I had to return it once my skating coach said she could not hear a difference and I had to point out the slight variance. There is no doubt that the JSH Portable Metronome ( has considerably better tonal separation, costs half as much, but is also a lot smaller and lighter than the competition. As the JSH has a headphone jack, you will not need to worry about annoying everyone else while you whiz My dislike of the interface was the same as yours. Changing the beat and tempo is simple via one button, and creating rhythm requires tempo up/down buttons. I did not like this feature as much as the separate settings and a start/stop button that come with the JSH Portable Metronome. In general, the JSH seemed to be more intuitive to me, but that is likely a matter of personal taste.
The Seiko Metronome DM51B is a product I purchased after reading a report on a Chi running program that I own. It was purchased in November of last year, I have been using it an average of three times a week for thirty minutes to over two hours each time, and the original battery has not failed. Running with the cushion has made a huge difference for me in that I am no longer experiencing lower back pain afterward. A clock, beat, tempo and battery are all easy to set up and use (the clock, beat, and battery). Until you change the settings of a track (volume, beat, tempo), they remain the same. There is nothing to criticize about the item. It is well made, small and sturdy. Specifically for running hats, it is strong, lightweight, and has a clip for securing it to hats or waistbands. Measures approximately 5 inches wide by 5 inches high. The dimensions of this photograph are 5 cm x 3 cm. The clip does not extend into the depth of the 5x1 cm (deep). There is a distinct chirping sound that can easily be heard. There is a volume dial that you can use to adjust the volume to fit your needs, from mute to very loud. During my runs on trails, I turn the volume down to a whisper, and if I'm racing against traffic, I'll turn it up a little louder. The volume can be adjusted while running, though it's a little tricky if you have gloves on. It is impossible to select the type of sound you want you are forced to accept the sound that is made. All you can do is chirp (with an occasional beep, see below for tempo). The chirping sound can be annoying to some, but that's a matter of taste. The audio tracks I have chosen are easy to hear for me and this is what I am looking for. You can set the tempo function to determine the number of steps per minute (spm) for runners that you want to run at. You can increase or decrease the number of spm using the up and down buttons. The SPM can be adjusted in the middle of a run. When the beat function is selected, it determines how to sound the selected spm. Each left and right foot strike will be accompanied by a chirp. You can adjust the beat so that every second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh or eighth beat (foot strike) is accompanied by A rhythm consisting of every third beat being a beep instead of a chirp is ideal for running (chirp, chirp, beep, chirp, chirp beep etc). In heavy traffic, the beep is not as loud or distinct as the chirps, and it can be quite hard to hear in the noisy environment. Running can also be used to change the beat selection. It has held up well after months of use and I am glad I purchased it.
I purchased this metronome to help me improve my running cadence. Having read the glowing reviews from other runners, I was convinced that this would be the best I'm not happy with the noise it makes! There's no doubt that this is a fantastic game The beep is really loud and it Everyone in my house immediately said, "Aggh, what is that noise?" when I turned it on for the first time. I feel a lot of pain. The thought of running with this thing on is not appealing to me. It would sound like every dog in the neighborhood was yelping as I passed. I would be told I was in danger by other runners who would call the cops. There are variations in the beep, but they are merely different sequences of the beep. A click or any other less horrible sound is not an option. While the device is small and light weight, I am still experiencing ringing in my ears as I type Playing music or any other activity I can think of is certainly not the best time to use it. The unit had already been opened when I received it The instructions had been folded all the way back up after the tape on the box was cut. It is clear from the above that I am not the first.
It is recommended. The only usage I get out of it is to run with - even though it appears not to be intended for running. Currently, I wear it on my Timex adjustable band watch, and I am very satisfied with it. As the hinge that holds the clip is in the middle of the clip, I don't have the option of sliding this all the way on. However, the volume is adjustable and at the highest setting is loud enough to drown out my running noise and what I hear from cars on the road. As well as being easy to use, it is also fairly robust. To be honest, I think it would have been five stars if the pivot hinge were in a different place, which would have allowed me to attach it more securely, but, to it's credit, it has never come loose. As long as it is on, it does not go off. The overall experience has worked well for me in terms of increasing my running speed and having more consistency in my running. Depending on how fast I am going, I use it at speed settings between 165 and 180.
The built-in beeper on my Garmin isn't loud enough to be heard. A compact clip can be attached to shorts or a singlet and makes the unit small and easily portable. During hard sets on the track, I can vary the cadence when I want to put in a higher effort. This may be my fourth of these hard sets. Can we get a third? There is no way to avoid sweat after 24 hours The product has been hard-used for 36 months. That's not the fault of SEIKO. I know they never planned on it being used for this purpose. Daisuke from Mild Japan carries it on Amazon, thanks to him. I was very happy with the service and the shipping was done in a timely manner. I wish you all the best,.
