To achieve an effective workout, no matter what the aerobic activity, you must maintain your heart rate at a proper level for a minimum of 20 minutes. In general, the proper level falls between 65 percent-85 percent of your maximum heart rate. To ensure you don't drop above or below your proper level, the HR-100C is built with an alarm option that indicates low and high heart rates.

Omron includes a chest transmitter belt with the wristwatch-style monitor. This transmitter sends data to the receiver on your wrist at a distance up to 98 feet (30 meters). The HR-100C is built with a backlight function for exercising after nightfall, and it also displays time of day and a daily reminder alarm feature. Also included is a mounting bracket that makes it easy to attach the watch receiver to most treadmills and bicycles and a soft, zippered storage case.

Q&A - Fitness Monitors

What is the Bioelectrical Impedance Method?
Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) is considered one of the most accurate and accessible methods of screening body fat. Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissues having a high water content that conduct electricity easily. Body fat is tissue that has little electric conductivity. The monitor sends an extremely weak electrical current through your body to determine the amount of fat tissue. The weak electrical current is not felt while operating the Body Fat Analyzer. The monitor is calculated by a formula that includes five factors; electric resistance, height, weight, age and gender.
What is visceral fat?
Visceral fat is located around the organs. Too much visceral fat is thought to be closely linked to increased level of fat in the bloodstream, which can lead to common conditions such as high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Sedentary life style causes excess visceral fat, and exercise can reduce it quicker than subcutaneous fat (fat located under skin).
What is resting metabolism?
Resting metabolism is the energy to maintain vital functions and it counts 60 to 70% of total energy consumption. Knowing your resting metabolism can help your dietplan. If you can increase daily activity while keeping food intake at resting metabolism level, you can lose weight.
What is skeletal muscle?
Skeletal muscle is muscle attached to the bones that is used to move the body. If you do weight loss without exercise, you may lose skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle is important to maintain your resting metabolism as well as your functionality. Monitoring skeletal muscle during weight loss is key to avoid weight rebound in the future.

- A good buy, especially for the price
$30 shipped to your door. It's hard to find a decent watch at Walmart for $30 - just think about that.

This thing works, it's simple, yes, but it does what it's supposed to do. It doesn't record any data, upload it to your pc, or do anything other than report your heart rate. For those of you who want detailed data, avg. hr, max hr. then this unit is not for you.

I run a lot of hills and believe that my avg. hr. would be misleading given that my hr. tends to drop into the low aerobic zone down hill and will climb into the 90%-100% range on the hardest incline. I suppose if you're running on a flat track then the avg. would be a good way of measuring the hr you spent most of your time at. The max hr function would be helpful only for those who are testing themselves ... Read More

- Good price, but doesn't work
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
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
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.

Rating:

- A worthwhile investment.
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 ... Read More
