Timex T5G941 Heart Rate Monitor Watch

I love this monitor. It is a little slow to start, be sure to wet the strap first. Once you start your warm up it gets going. My favorite fitness tool! I won't exercise without it. It's a great purchase for the price.

Reebok Fitwatch 10S Strapless Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Blue)

Childrens Toy Shop > Health & Personal Care > Stress Reduction
from: Reebok


Bought this earlier this year when I was planning to get back to the gym. Saw the comments re: having 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. So in my opinion, totally worth it. Looks nice, too.

Liked this one so much that I bought it twice - second time was to replace it, after I lost my first one on vacation.

Polar WearLink Coded Transmitter (Medium/XX-Large, Black)

I have owned various polar heart monitors over the past decade. This particular band is a huge improvement. The wearlink transmitter detatches. This makes the band and the snaps that hold the transmitter much easier to clean. Also, the strap is one separate integrel unit that doesn't depend on the transmitter to complete the circuit. This makes it easier fot the strap to maintain contact with the skin, and leads to less corosion. All in all a superior product

Polar RS100 Heart Rate Monitor and Stopwatch

Childrens Toy Shop > Health & Personal Care > Stress Reduction
from: Polar

June 01, 2006
This is my fourth HR monitor. I've owned a Nike (garbage), two Timex models (one solid and one I returned). I bought this one because it had three lines of information so I would know my total time and my lap time.

Some points:
- For the first month the watch never gave me an inaccurate HR. Since then I've had two instance when it's been whacky (you know, shows you at 185 when you're at 145). My previous HR monitors were MUCH worse than the Polar on this account.
- The three lines is nice, however it does not allow you to swap the lap time with the total time. I would much prefer the lap time to be in the middle or at least bigger (it's hard to read when you're doing a hard run and you're bouncing around).

Timex T5G971 Unisex Sports Personal Heart Rate Monitor Watch

Childrens Toy Shop > Health & Personal Care > Stress Reduction
from: Timex

Pros: Does exactly what it says, monitors heart rate, set your own zone and monitors time in that zone, estimates calaries based on your weight, total time excercising (or from when you start monitoring your heart rate until you turn off the monitoring). Strap is easy to adjust and easy to put on. User replaceable batteries. Bought 2 batteries at Walgreens for about $6.

Cons: Does not keep a history of workouts, you of course could write down the information. After the workout the infomation is no longer maintained. I seem to have to make the chest strap very tight or it looses the connection to the watch at higher rates (160+). Even with the strap tight it will sometimes loose the wireless connection until I hold the watch ... Read More:

Polar FS1 Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Dark Blue)

I enjoy using my Polar heart rate monitor. It is the first heart rate monitor I have ever purchased as I needed it for a college class. It is simple and easy to use. I wish it did have an alarm on it, but I guess I would have had to pay more for a heart rate monitor with an alarm.

This is an awesome fitness tool. It is very accurate, easy to use, and comfortable to wear. It syncs with the gym machines so you can see your heart rate on the screen versus the watch...this is very cool for me. It also gives you weekly reports :o) I love it!!

I have a much older version that has worked perfectly for several years. This new one has the advantage of the 30 lap memory. You can get your time and average heart rate for every split and the overall run. You also get min, average and max heart rate for the run. My monitor works great, is reasonably comfortable to wear and is easy to read when running. I highly recommend it.

I wanted to get a read on my heart rate during my runs and when I was at rest. My rest rate is very low. The watch is easy to use and set up. The actual Monitor fits around your chest and requires a little moisture in order to pick up the Electrical Signal that makes your heart beat. If it is on snug and moistened I believe the rate to be 99% accurate. I read a lot of reviews before pciking this one the one that caught my attention was how easy it was to start using it.
