Best Heart Rate Monitors for Workout

a very good product for the cost - provides everything as advertised & a very good basic heart monitor that includes compatibility with my gym's equipment.

it helps give me the necessary info that i need during my jogging sessions and i look forward to many2 years ahead jogging with this wonderful product.

i also noticed that while wearing it, the monitor transmits to gym equipment (bikes, ellipticals, etc) so you don't have to check the watch all the time, neat.

it is accurate, and perfect to keep my heart rate in the fat-burning zone, or in the aerobic zone, whichever i choose for my workout.

the heart rate monitor will be picked up on the machines at the gym also displaying it there.

she uses it on every workout to help maintain her proper heart rate.

i love the calories burned feature of the monitor, it validated something i've long suspected - the elliptical machines at my gym overestimate calories burned by approximately 30% and the treadmills

i love knowing how many calories i burn in my workouts, my trainer is even using it now to gauge how hard he is working me.

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.

it is as accurate as my polar model with the chest strap; i used both watches during my last workout on my elliptical machine, and everytime i took my heart rate with this watch it was usually

i didn't want to have to use a chest strap heart rate monitor, but wanted to be able to have a better estimation of my calories burned and use my heart rate range to better focus my workouts.

it is very sleek that i even wear it when i am not working out.

- included download software lets you export workouts in a csv spreadsheet for better analysis (and backup your entire workout db in .mdb format)

great for a visual reference of your workout.

i used it a lot last summer while training for my first 5k.

it even has one that matches a walk/run program they promote in the little book that comes with the watch.

i have found erratic heart rate readings and some difficulty managing all the functions especially during a workout.

i could always push myself harder after every workout because of its features.
