 Good price, but doesn't work June 26, 2008

I was drawn in by the price, and figured I'd take a chance since the reviews were about 50/50.
The product does not work as many other reviewers stated. My heart rate would read wacky and varied at rest and zero during exercise. And I'm fairly certain that I do have a heartbeat.
I thought it was worth the risk given the low cost. Amazon rocks as usual with returns of unworthy products, however just know going in that you'll likely end up sending it back. In the end, it was just a big waste of my time and effort.
Despite the huge cost difference, I'll be moving to the Polar brand (which my boot camp instructor recommends).
Because no matter how cheap you can get something, it's worth nothing if it doesn't work.
 Omron Heart Rate Monitor - HR-100C June 25, 2008
The Omron model HR-100C heart monitor has meet all my needs. I have no compliants. Some features of this product that found most helpful were the ability to replace the battery on the chest transmitter, a very nice feature. The unit comes with an adapter to attach the monitor to a bicycle plus the unit comes in a handy travel case. I would recommend this heart monitor.
Nice product June 21, 2008
This is my first HRM and it works well. The belt transmits perfectly but what watch shows can vary a lot. May be its not averaging the hear rate. But the trademill shows correct reading. I am happy with it. Only thing is you need to dip the belt in water before you ware it.
A worthwhile investment. June 20, 2008

I'd been looking for a heart rate monitor for several months and the Omron HR-100C was advertised on the web site of Jillian Michaels, winning instructor for the television show "The Biggest Loser." I clicked on the item, saw that the price was fair, and knew Jillian would not recommend a bumb product. I am happy with the performance of the monitor.
Note: The watch band and heart rate monitor band are constructed for people with a large frame. They were too big for my wrist and chest cage respectively. I called the company to see if there is smaller sized but there is not. So I bought a smaller watch band for $8 and am looking for a seamstress to take in the chest band elastic a little. This is a bit inconvenient, but the cost of the device was so reasonable, and I am using it regularly enough that fitting it to my needs is worth it. It's hard to train safely and effectively to improve stamina or speed without a heart rate monitor, and it must have a comfortable fit.
Simple, great product. Great value! June 19, 2008

This thing just works. Something like this shouldn't try to be something it's not, and frankly when I break one (apparently the watch is no longer waterproof if you crack the face on the street ;-) ) I know I can replace it for about $30.
