    5.0 Stars the monitor comes with a size medium strap and if you're small framed, it may seem too loose.

  1. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars i was doubtful if a heart rate monitor without a body strap would work, but my wife assures me that she has had it tested at her gym and it is extremly accurate.
  2. from www.amazon.com
    4.0 Stars to push two buttons to get a heart reading, and yes, that's awkward, especially when you're in the heat of a spin class, but it's not so difficult and it's a lot easier than strapping on a wire.
  3. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars i knew i wouldn't use a heart rate monitor if i had to wear a chest strap, so i was thrilled to find this one existed - and that it is so accurate.

  1. from www.amazon.com
    4.0 Stars the nike triax c8 has the basic functionality i need, and i can just go to the drugstore for a cr2032 battery when either the monitor or the chest strap need one.
  2. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars the company shipped very promptly and the band is very comftable to wear.

  5. from www.amazon.com

  1. from www.amazon.com
    4.0 Stars got this because chest straps are irritating, and this is a much more convienent substitute.
  2. from www.amazon.com
    3.0 Stars strapless hrms are not able to provide continuous heart rate like those that require a chest strap...
  3. from www.amazon.com
