Pyle Sports Digital Biking/ Running Watch with Bicycle Adaptor, Pulse, Chronograph, Pedometer Review

I was surprised to see that the only review posted was about missing documentation so I felt there was a need to write about how it actually worked. I bought two of these watches for our bikes. The bikes are normal "comfort" bikes which have all-terrain 26" tires. I was excited to get the watches because the value seemed incredible. It wasn't clear to me by the description what "bike" mode meant. But I liked the pedometer, heart rate, and other capabilities described so made the purchase.

I own a bike speedometer from Schwinn and it was easy to install and use. For speed there is a magnetic sensor and a small wire that runs to the display on the handlebar. I was very pleased to see that this watch comes with a similar magnetic wheel device but it is wireless. So the watch senses stride when walking/running or can be switched to bike mode and will pull information about speed from the wheel.

The heart rate monitor worked instantly and perfectly. The only real (and big) problem I had was that the watch would not pick up the wireless signal from the wheel. I tried resetting it many times and nothing seemed to work. The instructions are very limited about how to set this part up so I called Pyle support. Pyle is an audio company so the phone menu options and support people are not set up for "Pyle Sports" related questions. That turned out to be a complete waste of time as I already knew more about the device than the support person.

Given that I had purchased two watches, I decided to try the other one in case the first one had issues. I opened the box and this one was missing the instructions, like the other reviewer struggled with. I set that unit up and it also didn't work. To make a long story short, I discovered that distance is the issue. The watch comes with a simple mount for the handlebar and I had it mounted there. I then mounted the wheel sensor near the wheel hub as that was where the magnetic sensor for the spokes would be closest to the transmitter. However, it was actually too far away from the watch. When I moved the sensor all the way up to just below the brake, the watch picked up the signal and it seems to now work fine.

The watch is very full of features and because of that it can be complicated to use. It is hard to ding Pyle for this because I can't think of how to cram so much in without it also being complex at times. It has 4 buttons that you use so once you figure those out then you will be fine.

This is a great value for sure. You could easily pay 3x to 4x for a watch that does what this one does. Instructions are critical for some of the features and lacking in some areas, but I am pleased with the purchase.

As a side note, I am sure Pyle does not make this. The sensor and the magnetic attachment for the spoke are similar and in some cases identical to the Schwinn one. The table in the instructions for setting the wheel size to make the speedometer accurate is also the same as the table in the Schwinn manual. It is likely both come from a 3rd party and Schwinn and Pyle just private label the devices.

***UPDATE Nov 22, 2011***
After talking to support and spending way too much time on it, I have verified that there is no way to set the pedometer to your personal stride. This is contrary to the instructions. It appears that the feature has been removed and the instructions were never updated. They promised to get back to me with updated instructions and after I sent several emails directly to the person I have now given up ever getting them. Bad support. If you want an accurate pedometer, this isn't it.
