 simple & effective Nov 02, 2009
All I wanted was a heart rate monitor and a watch. Because I didn't want all the extra fancy feature, I was worried I would have to purchase a piece of junk that would die after a year. However, I am very happy with this simple, inexpensive item. It's exactly what I wanted and looks and feels like a quality item.
Great product for price Nov 02, 2009
I purchased this heart rate monitor to kick up my cardio workouts. It works great - with just a few minor issues. the first is that it was advertised as a woman's monitor, but the strap is pretty large. I've got it adjusted to the smallest possible length, and still have to tuck it up under my workout tops. The other issue is with the warranty. To get the warranty, you need to fill in the serial number, which is supposed to be on the back. I have not found it yet and will need to call the company. Small stuff. Overall, a very good product.
Just what you need :) Oct 25, 2009
Since I got this Heart Rate Monitor(HRM) for my dad who works out twice a day all I get is good comments.
Display:
- Big, clear numbers
- Simple
- Can read on any kind of day: from sunny to rainy
Functions:
- HRM
- Range you want to work out
Looks:
- Gooooooood
Quality:
- It's been 4 months, so far so...awesome!!
Very easy to use, the only thing is that i had to agree that while you get your ideal spot for the band the HRM won't display a good HR, but as soon as you get it -took 5 minutes for us- it's very accurate and...the price, OMG.

 Absolutely unreliable Oct 17, 2009
This meter worked for a week after it arrived. Now it rarely works. Water is always required, but sometimes even with lots of water there is no reading. Trying to use the meter to take a resting pulse before getting up in the morning is impossible for a couple reasons. Not only does Rega have to keep water near the bed, but also by the time, she has made several attempts adding more water each time, the pulse has gone up.
Contacting Omron during the warranty period, she was told that
(1) we would have to pay to return the item.
(2) Manufacturer might decide that the product was in perfect condition.
(3) We would have to reimburse Omron for its shipping costs if it elected to replace the item.
Condition (3) was revealed only after her third call to Omron. It prompted us to return the item instead to Amazon.
Exactly what I needed Oct 13, 2009
I have been using this HRM now for about 3 weeks and I love it. This is the first monitor I have ever owned and it does exactly what I wanted it to do, tell me my heart rate. I have been using it for running and it has helped me keep up a good pace and I've found that I am actually running faster because I can keep myself in a tight zone. I have not used the alarm setting but rather I just glance down at the watch to see whether I am above or below my target and I am able to quickly adjust my pace more or less depending on the reading. I also make use of the stopwatch function, however, you cannot see your HR and time on the same display. This is not really a problem as far as I'm concerned because you just have to press the red button once and cycle between the two screens. There is no logging capabilities which might be nice but for $34 you really can't ask for anything more. I have not had battery or detection trouble as others have described so I was happy with that. The case it comes with is also a nice feature. The chest strap is not uncomfortable but it does have a tendency to loosen up over time so be sure to adjust before every use. Also, the strap is fairly large which is ok for me but would be a problem for smaller people. Overall I am completely satisfied with this purchase.
