Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The PowerGlove heart rate monitor calories burned, heart rate, and target exercise heart rate right at your fingertips. Unlike other chest strap monitors, the PowerGlove can easily be slipped on over your left hand and worn during workouts or daily activities. The left hand feature is designed to accommodate racquet sports and to provide the least interference with hand functions. The single glove uses an embedded sensor like the ones found in hospital heart rate monitors. It also features a bright, easy-to-read LED display on the back of the glove that can be seen day or night. It features a lightweight, breathable fabric that's easily cleaned after heavy exercise.
With its 1-ounce total weight, you'll hardly even know you're wearing the PowerGlove. It's designed to operate continuously for about three hours on a single charge. When finished exercising, simply plug it in like a cell phone to recharge it.
Daily Exercise Calories Burned
The Power Glove allows you to determine how many calories you burn in the course of any activity that elevates your heart rate, from intense aerobic activity to routine daily activities such as moving around the office or doing work around the house.
Total Daily Calories Burned and Basic Metabolic Rate (BMR)
This function takes your BMR, which is a prediction of how many calories you will burn based on your personal data input, and adds the Daily Exercise Calories Burned to show you your total caloric burn for a day. This complements the Exercise Calories Burned Per Hour feature of the Power Glove by showing an estimate of the total calories you would burn daily. This is particularly useful for those trying to count calories and lose weight through a program of diet and exercise. As you exercise, the Power Glove will automatically add the calories you burn to your daily total so you can see the cumulative results of your efforts.
Average Heart Rate
The Average Heart Rate feature displays your average heart rate over time. Average heart rate is an overall indicator of your fitness. Typically, a lower heart rate is indicative of a healthier heart. One measure of an exercise program's effectiveness is a decrease in average heart rate as your fitness improves. The Average Heart Rate feature can also provide an indication of "over exercise" if your heart rate measurement is 5-10 beats above your average heart rate for an extended period of time.
Minimum Heart Rate
The Minimum Heart Rate feature displays your minimum heart rate before each reset of the Power Glove monitor. As you see improvements in your cardio and fitness levels, you should see your minimum heart rate decrease over time.
Maximum Heart Rate
The Maximum Heart Rate feature displays your maximum heart rate before each reset of the Power Glove monitor.
Target Heart Rates
Based on your personal data, the Power Glove monitor will automatically calculate optimal heart rate exercise zones for you in order for you to achieve the maximum health benefits from your activities. Track your performance directly on the Power Glove display to stay within the fat burning or cardio conditioning zones.
Product Description

It has a rechargeable battery that never needs to be replaced. Simply slip the Power Glove on any time, day or night, and conveniently see instant feedback on your heart rate and calories burned. Put Fitness at Your Fingertips with the Power Glove!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Much more comfortable than the darn chest strap!,
By Chris R (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: PowerGlove Women's Heart Rate Monitor (Stitching Color Will Vary) (Sports)
The Power Glove is a great replacement if you hate wearing a chest strap. They always hurt my chest so when I saw this I ordered it and I am glad I did. This is so much easier to wear when I go for my walks or do the stair stepper.

needs work on design,
By
This review is from: PowerGlove Women's Heart Rate Monitor (Stitching Color Will Vary) (Sports)
This product needs some work. The buttons are too close together (and no, i don't have fat fingers) - it's very easy to push the wrong one. Which might just take you into a complex menu that's not easy to get out of! The pixels on the display are ridiculously large - i had to purposefully blur my eyes to decipher the numbers. It kind of seems like someone's invention prototype that they fashioned in their garage. The stitching was partially unraveled (is this what "stitching may vary" means? It wasn't the colored stitching....) on the velcro strap used to hold the thumb sensor.
And yet I was still optimistic! I glued the velcro strap, got used to the buttons and the display, and i actually loved it for the first dozen uses or so. And then it stopped working... Every time the main part (that wraps around your hand) was moved even in the minutest way, the unit would somehow reset itself, the display boldly announcing the product name and then informing me that all of its stored information had been reset. I was so sad! So much so, that i bought another one, thinking i'd just ended up with a dud. But the 2nd one also stopped working after only a few uses. It just suddenly displayed 3 vertical lines, and wouldn't turn off. The only thing that ever worked well on this thing was the actual heart rate sensor, which i found to be quite accurate. Luckily, Amazon is giving me a full refund for both, one of which was a bit past their 30 day limit. Thank you Amazon! I'm going to try the Mark of Fitness one. It looks like an actual company made it instead of some incompetent electrical engineer wannabe.

It won't work!,
By
This review is from: PowerGlove Women's Heart Rate Monitor (Stitching Color Will Vary) (Sports)
I used one powerglove for a month and it was sporadic at working and then quit entirely. Amazon sent a free replacement. It did the same thing. I couldn't get it to turn on, then after 8 minutes or so if it did turn on I couldn't get it to turn off. It needs major redesigning. I like the concept and it was comfortable but that's about all.
