Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor
 | Average Customer Rating: Recommend Knowing your heart rate is important because if you are working out too hard, your activity can become counter productive and strain muscles. 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. The proper level is generally 65%-85% of your maximum heart rate. Mounting bracket to mount watch receiver to most treadmills and bicycles Time of day… Product details and pricing info |

- good deal
- works well. sometimes i have to fidget with the band to get a read .. but overall it is great and does the job. no reason to spend more than $40 on something like this if all you want is a heart rate.

- Great HRM!
- This is a great heart rate monitor! I like that I don't have to slow or stop my workout to check my heart rate. The alarms (I set it at 60% and 85% of max.) are helpful. Using this monitor has helped me keep my workouts at a level that is aerobic (beneficial) rather than too much exertion reaching the anaerobic zone.

- Comfortable and accurate
- The chest belt is very comfortable for me to wear and the readings are accurate. I checked them against our blood pressure machine and the readings from hand sensors on the gym equipment.
I use an aloe vera gel on the sensors to get readings as soon as I put the belt on .... you can also use water or just wait until you begin to perspire. It is very useful for setting the speed / difficulty on the treadmill to maintain the proper heart rate. The settings vary from day to day and sometimes during the workouts. - 2008-08-09, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Best Heart Rate Monitor for the Money!
- This is a great heart rate monitor for the money. I had a polar heart rate monitor for years and it worked fine; however, it was misplaced during a move to another state. Key Points to consider:
A couple hundred dollars less than the major brand monitors.
Easy to use and see even in low light conditions with the back light button.
My old monitor had so many functions but most went unused.
No interference when using with my treadmill.
Comes with bike mount and carrying case.
Reliable. Make sure its snug, properly placed, and wet the pads prior to putting on the cheststrap.
One button transfers from stopwatch to heartrate... no big deal even during track workouts.
I would have been skeptical but I own the Omron HEM-637 wrist blood pressure monitor with Intelli Sense and it works great and is very accurate so I went for it and I'm very pleased!!! - 2008-08-08, 3 of 3 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- ok, but...
- The product works fine, but the first time I used it, the raised crystal on the watch got scratched, directly blocking the time viewing area. Also the numbers (time, heart rate, etc) are of a font that is not particularly easy to read. Other than that, the product is good for the price.
