My husband And I each have one and we love them. My husband has been worn the watch part in the shower since he got it and hasn't had a problem with it. It is easy to use and we think very accurate. The chest band is very comfortable I don't even know I have it on sometimes forget and have it on for hours.

I phoned Timex and it's all waterproof (unless you press any buttons) but I forgot to ask them about chlorine effect. They did say the heart rate signal can't transmit to the watch while under water.When I wear it all day, I usually feel like my ribs got bruised, and I have it on it's loosest setting. I even took off the elastic, and just but the stiff part on my with sports tape (and it transmitted), but I still got that feeling. But I sit maybe 80% of the time I wear it so maybe that's a factor for the ribs pressing against something hard.

I found th strap white comfy. I never had any issues with sweat or the time I dropped it in the shower, but I never took it swimming or anything. My only issue with the timex is that I found the interface less intuitive than the Polar.

I don't notice the chest strap when I work out. I get sweaty, but not sure if it is waterproof.

The Maxxum does have a chest strap, and it's east to use and comfortable. After nearly a year of frequent use, I'm completely satisfied with the Maxxum.

Hi Amanda, I bought this same item last year and yes, it does come with a chest strap. Hope that helps, Doug

The strap is not padded but is very soft. I find it very comfortable. However, i suppose if you were to really pack this bag it might dig a little into the shoulder. I have mine pretty full and carry it everyday with no issues.

yes. I'm very happy with it. I don't wear it in the water, but it keeps everything dry in the boat between dives.

Yes - has a chest strap. I've used it for carrying an inflatable raft and oars - weighs about 55lbs. No issues at all.

It is pretty secure but it does not have a front strap on it.. it hold up to the rain well.. but is not completely water proof. Just water resistant

You do not need a chest strap, but I can not make the heart rate monitor work! I quit using it after a couple of weeks.

it's not super plushy but it has a pad on the strap that is adjustable that makes it comfortable. I have never had a problem with my shoulder hurting.

I think it can. Its comfortable enough. The chest strap is adjustable. I never tried it all day though.

Hi Jim, I own the bag and I can attest to it's comfort. The bag has padding around the majority of the strap and it sits nicely one shoulder and through the chest area. I have uploaded pictures of me wearing the product to help you get a better idea of what it looks like. They are located in the customer uploaded photos section of the review but I have also put the photos up on my Flickr account (TarahS16). I am happy with the bag, I wore it all day at an outdoor art festival and I didn't get sore or have any tender spots when I got home that night. This bag is also the perfect size for a woman because its not too big. It won't overpower a small frame.

if you use the chest strap and waist strap it should not move around too much at all, I use mine for hiking and fishing, but I know a guy who mountain bikes with his and has no issues.

Yes a chest strap is included. Be sure to wet the sensor pads with water and to make it contact better I put some hair gel on also.

Mine is fairly comfortable as a neck strap, although I usually do not use it that way. I usually sling it over my shoulder (similar to a rifle strap). The rubber padding is soft enough that it conforms well to the shape of my shoulder and does not slip off. I like my strap a lot because I have large digital SLR that is a bit on the heavy side. I think it is a good bargain for the price. It's a good product.
