I was very interested in this item because I've been walking for exercise but wasn't really sure I was reaching my target heart rate consistently.
The monitor, which displays the time as well as your heart rate on a watch, works in conjuction with a gizmo that you strap around yourself, just under your chest. (I will tell you, since I was concerned about this, that it's hardly noticeable once it's in place...it's a 12" or so long piece of plastic with an adjustable elastic strap...not very bulky at all!) The monitor also features a stopwatch and an alarm, so that after you set your minimum & maximum desired heart rates, you can be alerted when you are out of range. The alarm is a "beep-beep" that I can hear over the book on tape I drag along with me. Your heart rate is updated every second or two so you will always know if you need to pick up the pace a bit.

- Works as advertised - Easy to setup - Rugged and well constructed Bad: - Wrist watch does not start receiving heart rate unless you are sweating at lot/apply a lot of water on the strap and your chest - In a gym setting, there seems to be interference from electrical equipment (treadmills, etc) and the monitor works intermittently - If there are other users w/ heart-rate monitors in the vicinity, their readings and my readings overlap causing some amount of confusion 236 of 248 people found the following review helpful: Excellent monitor, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor (Health and Beauty) This was my first heart rate monitor & I am very pleased with it. Did not require a lot of instruction. The chest strap is comfortable. Occasionally the monitor does not immediately pick up an accurate rate when first put on - but after a few seconds you are ready to go. I will be ordering another for my mother. Excellent product for the price. |
