 Perfect, Simple Heart Rate Monitor January 6, 2007

After purchasing this product I am quite impressed. This is the first heart rate monitor I have ever purchased - but it does the trick. Nothing fancy, but it works well to communicate what your current heart rate is. I was worried at first because a "chest strap" sounds kind of scary - but its really not, its a piece of plastic that connects to an elastic strap to fit around your ribs. It will go up to a 55" chest. A solid buy if you want to know your heart rate while you work out or rest.

If you exercise at a gym with Polar compatible equipment, this heart rate monitor is a steal. The chest strap works with the tread mills and eliptical trainers at my gym, so I don't even bother with the watch.
I believe an HRM is a critical part of an exercise program where you are trying to achieve a goal, whether it be weight loss, endurance training or strength training. Staying within your target zones will help you get the most from your exercise. I alternate between strength training and weight loss every 3-6 months. Until I started using this HRM, I was training far too hard during my weight loss exercises. I adjusted my pace, and found I could exercise for much longer, and burn more calories. It seems pretty obvious, but I didn't know I was overtraining until I started using this HRM.

I compared it with the monitors on the treadmill and it showed nearly the same heart rate (plus or minus 3). I always put some water on the conducting pads as mentioned in the user's manual, so it works very fine as soon as I have it on. I give it a 5 star as its very easy to use and very low price.
I bought it with the omron pedometer to get $10 instant off on $49.

Rather pleased with this product. Watch was much nicer quality/feel than I had expected. Works with the Polar treadmill monitors at the gym, too.
I was wondering if it was worth the money to buy this because you can take your pulse with your own 2 fingers and your watch or the clock on the wall... after using it a couple months I would say that it is definitely worth it. The benefit is continuously working your heart/body at the level you want. It is not practical to keep your fingers on your neck or wrist the entire workout... with this, you don't need to do anything except watch the display change.
I think that I get a much more effective workout by keeping my heart rate within the limits I want.

Enclosed battery died relatively soon after purchase.
Does not seem to be accurate at higher activity levels.
