Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor

Good value (2010-03-09) : 5/5
Order process was easy, delivery was prompt, Heart rate monitor does what is claimed. I use the monitor to gauge my pace on a treadmill to improve endurance and physical ability without overdoing the exercise for my age.
Omron Heart Rate Monitor (2010-03-08) : 4/5
The unit works just fine.
But silly me, when I read that it had a high/low alarm I thought the alarm was audible. Nope, a little heart flashes on the watch which is nice if you can keep looking at the watch.
Omron didn't lie, but I think 'indicator' would have been a better description.
Don't Waste Your Time (2010-03-07) : 1/5
I bought this watch as a replacement for one being repaired it (different brand) didn't last a month. The screen froze up at 12:55 and could not change mode. It was a waste of time.
great product (2010-03-03) : 5/5
I've never had a heart rate monitor before so I can't compare it to other brands, but this one is great. It's easy to use and seems quite accruate. My husband and I each got one as we are both involved in a daily exercise program, this monitor has been invaluable in helping us stay in the zone we are to be exercising in.
Works exactly as advertised - and price is right! (2010-02-28) : 4/5
Omron makes all sorts of measuring devices including ones for medical application, so I figured they ought to be able to make a decent HRM. This one is decent and probably has all the functionality that most folks will ever need. Comes with the chest belt, transmitter, wrist receiver, handlebar adapter, and a nylon fabric case. The wrist receiver has modes for:

1) 24 h time with month, date, day.
2) 24 h alarm.
3) heart rate with lower and upper limit alarms.
4) stopwatch in .01 s.

It's not the most stylish I've seen, e.g., part lines on the case, but it does have a traditional wristband assembly so that you can change the wristband if it breaks or offends. Chest belt is comfortable and essentially undetectable during periods of duress. Transmit/receive range is effective to at least full arm's length or any position on the bike with receiver on the bar - the adapter fits a 1.25" section easily and should accommodate most any round section bar from about 7/8" to 1.5". And, the transmitter works great with the RealAxiom trainer.
