Health & Personal Care : Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor

Rating: - Battery change is complicated.
This is a two piece package. You get a chest strap that is read by any standard monitor. This means that any of those treadmills, bikes, and ellipticals in your gym that have a Polar system will read it.

The other part is the watch/monitor. That worked pretty well until the battery died. I tried to replace it myself, and it has not worked since. I recommend you take it to one of those mall kiosks to have the battery changed.

I feel like the chest strap was the more useful part anyways, and I use it every time I go to the gym.

I used this once. When I went to use this again two days later, it didn't work. I am a fat woman running, at it was registering either no heart rate, or a rate of something like 60. I tried all of the troubleshooting steps in the istructions, it didn't work. So, there went that idea.

Rating: - Didn't work for me
Used it for a week, gave it every benefit of the doubt, but if someone tells you ur heart rate fluctuates from 62 to 84 all while ur just standing next to you bike doing nothing what will you say. For me, it's not even remotely accurate, advice to stay away

Rating: - I'm an idiot, but it works great.
I like it and it works well since I figured out the correct way to use the strap to keep it on. It needs to be snug and stable or the results are erratic.

Rating: - Nice product to monitor the heart rate
Pros: Gives you a instant heart rate once you wear the belt around your chest.

Cons: Have to apply little water to establish good contact with your skin to get the heart rate. I wasn't able to get the heart rate on one machine (Elliptical of lifefitness) not sure why.

Overall good prodcut
