Customer Omron Blood Pressure Monitor Reviews
Does exactly what I need it to do!
Being a person who hasn’t ever joined a gym, I never knew stuff like this existed. I was very interested in this item because I’ve been walking for exercise but wasn’t really sure I was reaching my target heart rate consistently.
The monitor omron, which displays the time as well as your heart rate on a watch, works in conjuction with a gizmo that you strap around yourself, just under your chest. (I will tell you, since I was concerned about this, that it’s hardly noticeable once it’s in place…it’s a 12″ or so long piece of plastic with an adjustable elastic strap…not very bulky at all!) The monitor also features a stopwatch and an alarm, so that after you set your minimum & maximum desired heart rates, you can be alerted when you are out of range. The alarm is a “beep-beep” that I can hear over the book on tape I drag along with me. Your heart rate is updated every second or two so you will always know if you need to pick up the pace a bit. Although I have not yet had to do so, the chest strap has a removable backing, and you apparently can change the battery yourself (this is a big deal, I guess, since some of the more expensive monitors require that you send them to the factory for a battery change). The elastic strap is also completely removable, which makes it very easy to wash (and you will need to if you’re exercising!).
The monitor omron comes packaged in a small, zippered carrying case, and includes an attachment that allows you to place it on a bicycle handlebar. This does everything I need it to, and I recommend it for anyone who is just getting started in an exercise program.
Great HR monitor!,
This monitor does exactly what I wanted it to do. It gives me my heart rate at the push of a button! The strap is pretty comfortable and I often forget I even have it on. I wear this on runs to keep track of my heart rate/run time. I wear this to the gym to see how hard I’m working my heart while lifting weights. To my surprise, the telemetry strap synchronizes with the machines that work with Polar, so I always have an accurate reading when I’m on the cardio equipment. I’ve had this HR monitor for 7 months now and it’s still going strong. One tip is to make sure you wet the strap before you put it on your body with just a thin layer of water - it helps conduct better! I gave it only 4 stars because it’s not a very attractive watch - it looks a little tacky with everyday clothes.
