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

Rating: - 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.

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.

Rating: - Simple, great product. Great value!
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.

I bought this to monitor my heart rate at the gym to get the most from aerobic exercise and am very pleased with it. I'm one that sweats heavy and after using it I leave the case open at home to allow the strap to air dry. It comes with a device to attach to a bicycle's handlebars. That sounds handy for those interested in monitoring their heart rate while riding. I usually don't ride hard and so have not used this on my bicycle.

simple but it works, I haven't had too much interference in my gym where many others wear a heart rate monitor. I had no idea what a great tool it wold be to use while working out (I spin mostly) and for $30.00 its a no brainer.
