Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitorproduct
Amazon.com Product Description
The Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor is easy to program and a cinch
to wear with a ventilated watch band. Knowing your heart rate is
important because if you're working out too hard, your
activity can actually become counter productive and strain or
damage muscles.
To achieve an effective workout, no matter what the aerobic
activity, you must maintain your heart rate at a proper level for a
minimum of 20 minutes. In general, the proper level falls between
65 percent-85 percent of your maximum heart rate. To ensure you
don't drop above or below your proper level, the HR-100C is built
with an alarm option that indicates low and high heart rates.

Q&A - Fitness Monitors
What is the Bioelectrical Impedance Method?
Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) is considered one of the most accurate and accessible methods of screening body fat. Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissues having a high water content that conduct electricity easily. Body fat is tissue that has little electric conductivity. The monitor sends an extremely weak electrical current through your body to determine the amount of fat tissue. The weak electrical current is not felt while operating the Body Fat Analyzer. The monitor is calculated by a formula that includes five factors; electric resistance, height, weight, age and gender.
What is visceral fat?
Visceral fat is located around the organs. Too much visceral fat is thought to be closely linked to increased level of fat in the bloodstream, which can lead to common conditions such as high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Sedentary life style causes excess visceral fat, and exercise can reduce it quicker than subcutaneous fat (fat located under skin).
What is resting metabolism?
Resting metabolism is the energy to maintain vital functions and it counts 60 to 70% of total energy consumption. Knowing your resting metabolism can help your dietplan. If you can increase daily activity while keeping food intake at resting metabolism level, you can lose weight.
What is skeletal muscle?
Skeletal muscle is muscle attached to the bones that is used to move the body. If you do weight loss without exercise, you may lose skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle is important to maintain your resting metabolism as well as your functionality. Monitoring skeletal muscle during weight loss is key to avoid weight rebound in the future.

Customer Reviews
Does exactly what I need it to do!724 people found this review helpful.
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, 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 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.

Good product for active users285 people found this review helpful.
Good:
- Works as advertised
- Easy to setup
- Rugged and well constructed
Bad:
- Wrist watch does not start receiving heart rate unless you are sweating at lot/apply a lot of water on the strap and your chest
- In a gym setting, there seems to be interference from electrical equipment (treadmills, etc) and the monitor works intermittently
- If there are other users w/ heart-rate monitors in the vicinity, their readings and my readings overlap causing some amount of confusion

Excellent monitor204 people found this review helpful.
This was my first heart rate monitor & I am very pleased with
it. Did not require a lot of instruction. The chest strap is
comfortable. Occasionally the monitor does not immediately pick up
an accurate rate when first put on - but after a few seconds you
are ready to go. I will be ordering another for my mother.
Excellent product for the price.

Perfect Hear Rate Monitor for just monitoring your heart rate......49 people found this review helpful.
This is the perfect HRM for anyone just trying to monitor their
heart rate. Directions for set up are very easy. The price for this
HRM is pretty cheap compared to others. Comes in a great storage
zipper bag. If you need something with more features like calorie
counting, average heart rate, etc. then you need to looke
elsewhere. Now that I can keep track of my target zone for weight
loss I have lost 10 pounds in one month. Seems like I was not
working hard enough. The alarms are really great and let you know
if you are not working out hard enough or workin out too hard. I
have purchased two already for myself and girlfriend and both work
properly and they do not seem to obstruct with each other. Great
buy for beginner or advanced.
Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitorproduct
Perfect for what I use it for.47 people found this review helpful.
I use this while swimming. When swimming the chest strap has to be
tightened a little extra, but it works. I also use it for circuit
training because first I use the eliptical, then the weight
machines. I do not rest between machines to keep heart rate in the
proper zone during the entire workout, perfect.

Unblievable heart rates81 people found this review helpful.
This monitor seems to require just the right conditions to work.
When I used it on an elliptical trainer (the Gazelle, whose own
pulse monitor seems to show double my heart rate most of the time),
it gave believable readings, not too far from ones shown on an
Omron sleeve-type blood pressure monitor. But when I used it on
bike rides, or just walking around, even after wetting the chest
strap (not easy to do constantly when you're out in the park and
its cold or you don't want to pull up your sweatshirt in public!),
it gave very weird readings, when it gave any (half the time it
just says zero): a rate of 67 when biking up a steep hill, and
rates of 120-160 when just standing next to my bike, relaxed and
admiring the views from Central Park! This happened so much I gave
up and returned it.

Great for the money36 people found this review helpful.
I bought this monitor at a great price and it's worth it. I'm sure
there are other monitors out there that are better, but this one
still gives you a good indication of your training level. The strap
is comfortable and snug. Just like any monitor you have to slightly
wet the conductors to get an accurate reading. I did get some
fluctuations at certain points but I just had to adjust the strap.
The mounting bracket is great and easy to snap on and off. Good for
bike riders like me.
Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitorproduct
Good entry level HRM40 people found this review helpful.
I'll try to make this brief. First, I can tell you that I have lost
about 26 pounds without the use of a personal heart rate monitor
like this one. However, as far as exercise is concerned, I got this
far ONLY riding a stationary bike, which came with an HRM on it. I
have really gotten into exercising after being overweight for a
long time and after having to endure achilles tendonitis in the
last half of 2006. So, doing low impact exercise was really all I
could do up until recently. Well, I'm in the next phase of my "life
change" and it will involve not just being tethered to a bike, but
running and lifting. So, I needed to get a portable unit to
wear.
Well, if you are considering exercising or have already begun, this unit is a great "starter" model. It will provide you with all the feedback you need to get started such as max/min heart rate setting with alarm, stopwatch, and of course the heart rate itself. The chest unit fits fine and you really don't notice it all that much. I am a big guy with a rather large chest and it is plenty big even for me.
I STRONGLY suggest you research heart rates as it pertains to exercise. It will absolutely convince you that you need a heart rate monitor. Feedback is critical to getting the most out of your workout. If you do not know what your heart rate is, you can not stay in the "zone" that you need for the conditioning you are looking to achieve(fat burning, endurance, etc.).
The only complaint I have is that the unit came with a dead battery....grrrr! Oh well at least you can change it yourself on this unit...went to the store, got a new one and was good-to-go.

Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitorproduct
One of the best cheaper models30 people found this review helpful.
Great product for the $ I spent. I picked it b/c I can replace the
batteries myself and the cost was in my budget. It does jump around
more than I'd like, but I can tell from the range that I am over or
under my target heart rate. It does beep to let you know that, but
I find it annoying so I turn it off. If you find you have trouble
getting it to register your rate, then move it around a bit. Mine
works best when I put it higher on my chest, in the area of my
heart, just below my shoulder blade.

Great product35 people found this review helpful.
I've been using this product for about a year now. It's the only
heart-rate monitor that I've owned. It works extremely well and
accurately every time. Batteries last a long time as well, since I
haven't had to change them yet. It's changed the way that I view my
workouts. For the price, I don't hesitate to recommend it.
