   I found this heart monitor watch on clearance at a local department store and bought it due to its low price. I was looking for a heart monitor that would stand up to water as my main form of exercise is water aerobics. For the price I figured I wouldn’t mind if it did not stand up to the humidity, moisture, and possible accidental drop in water.

   It has more than lived up to what I wanted. I even measured its heart monitor rate against my doctor’s rate for my heart and it came within two beats. It has endured the pool environment successfully and impressively. I don’t have to slow down much to pick the watch up, put it over my wrist and press the button. And yes, I did accidently drop it in the pool without realizing immediately. Less than a minute I did realize and was able to get it from the pool floor with it still working. The display faded out for a few minutes but then it was right back, working without any problems or side effects from the drop in the pool.

   Although I paid bare minimum for it I would easily pay this price or more. I am now looking for one that does have a few more bells and whistles. This one is bare minimum on features but has sold me on its brand name.

   Works Well – No bells and whistles, June 6, 2007

   I recently bought a recumbent bike and I was curious as to how much of a workout it was actually giving me, so I wanted to invest in a heart rate monitor. Yes, I could have gone much more fancier, gotten something with all the bells and whistles, but I would have paid a ton more.

   It works for what you need it for. There is no chest strap, and the idea of needing one bothers me, so for what I was looking for, this does a good job.

   Great starter / entry level monitor.

   Very Functional-Excellent Value, May 21, 2008

   This heartrate monitor cost under $30 and I love it. It’s simple, few bells and whistles, but for my needs right now, it’s perfect. I did not want to wear a chest strap because I find any additional encumbrance while working out to be an irritant. With the watch on your wrist, to measure your heartrate you simply depress a large button on the front for a few seconds. It’s easy to do even if you’re running or working out. The large display gives the reading–according to the literature accurate to within 1 heartbeat per minute–in seconds. Don’t buy this if you want to download to your computer or look at a graph of heartrate over time. I suspect that at some point I might want to do that, and I will need to upgrade. But to manually monitor your heartrate during a work out to see if you’re in the zone, this watch is perfect. Simple, inexpensive, well-made and functional. (Also includes an alarm, stopwatch, and a large, easily read digital face with a light.)
