Product Description

Amazon.com Review

A handy little digital trainer, this heart-rate monitor from Oregon Scientific helps pace, optimize, and tailor a workout. Used with a wireless, 2-ounce chest-band transmitter, the monitor delivers quick and accurate heart-rate readings in a continuous display. You can also establish upper and lower heart-rate bounds and set an alarm to go off if you end up outside the range. The monitor's sporty band is comfortable, and the large LCD screen features a scroll-through menu for the clock, stopwatch, and alarm modes. The unit weighs just over an ounce and features a five-second blue backlight and a power-saving sleep mode. It's even water-resistant up to 30 meters. Oregon Scientific includes a zip-shut carrying case and a convenient handlebar mount. --Emily Bedard

3.0 out of 5 stars Works well but strap is too big, September 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Oregon Scientific HR102 Wireless Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Health and Beauty)

I used to have a Polar heart monitor but lost the watch. I decided to go with this model because it's less expensive. I have an average women's size body and the adjustable strap that goes around your chest is too big for me. Since the smallest that the strap adjusts to is too big, I have it adjusted with a bunch of the strap material flopping around on my back (I didn't have this problem with Polar). It's annoying and will require a sewing experiment some time soon. The heart monitor part works well though. Mine came with a neato bag and bike or exercise equipment holder for the transmitter (watch).

5.0 out of 5 stars this product works beautifully, August 31, 2004

You know when you are on a treadmill or bike that has a pulse sensor? You have to grab onto the sensors the whole time to monitor your pulse rate. I had this on while I was on the Polar treadmill at my gym and while wiping my forehead I realized that I did not lose the heartrate when I took my hands from the handles. It turns out that the treadmill picks up the signal from the transmitter you wear around your chest and accurately displays the results on the screen. It was like freedom. I could run in a normal fashion, not holding onto those bars. I also didn't need to wear the watch while on the treadmill, which was nice while in the gym. It works very well outside as well using the alarm to keep your target heartrate in check. The only problem I had was that the battery it came with died after 2 months and wasn't that easy to change. I think it may have been on a shelf for a year or more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Value, January 30, 2006

I'm using this heart rate monitor as a marathon training tool and so far it has worked great.

Pros.
1. Comfortable (both the wrist and chest part)
2. Accurate readings.
3. Value.
4. Easy to replace batteries.

Cons.
1. Limited functionality.
2. Can't display both time and heart rate at the same time.
3. Maybe too big for smaller girls. I'm 5'8 140lbs and it fits me great but the chest strap can only be tightened maybe one more inch. Of course, you can always modify the strap.
