Best Heart Rate Monitors for Jogging

1) tracks my heart rate, so i can calibrate my level of exertion and see the improvement in my heart rate recovery, 2) works as a stop watch so i can time my intervals of sprinting and jogging.

what i also like about it is that i can just put on just the chest strap, and it would transmit my heart rate onto a treadmill or an oplitical machine without the watch.

i compared it with the monitors on the treadmill and it showed nearly the same heart rate (plus or minus 3).

it is easy to use and very accurate compared to a built-in monitor on my treadmill.

i use mine in spin class, but have also used it when i go jogging or walking.

i like to jog at night and it is impossible to read the numbers.

nice that it's compatible with many of the treadmills/ steppers...

the signal is transmitted from this heart rate monitor to the treadmill, elyptical, or whatever, and shows up on the screne.

it does not work well when running or jogging though unless you can be very steady - it does work fine on my elliptical machine because i'm not bouncing as much.

pros: accurate, gives a quick reading, versatile best uses: treadmill describe yourself: frequent exerciser bottom line: recommended the pulse rate is very accurate, it compares

i knew before buying it that i would have to stop (pause the treadmill, or between weight sets, etc.) to stand still and place two fingers on the dots so the device could read my heart rate.

i could get the monitor to work most of the time when walking or standing still, but even a light jog caused too much jostling to to get a reading.
