Customer Reviews of Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor

Customer Review: This was my first heart rate monitor & I am very pleased with it.
Summary: 4 Stars

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.

Customer Review: I found it an excellent monitor for the price and also shortly after received it I had a problem with the strap...
Summary: 4 Stars

I found it an excellent monitor for the price and also shortly after received it I had a problem with the strap, called them and they replace it within a week. Good value for the money

Customer Review: I guess you get what you pay for.
Summary: 2 Stars

Although worked fine when not working out, was very inconsistent when working out, kept losing its signal apparently. I guess you get what you pay for.

Customer Review: But the real kicker-it works well on me but does not pick up a reading on my husband-and I am pretty sure he is alive.
Summary: 3 Stars

I got this heart rate monitor (my first) just to see what my pulse was while using my elliptical trainer. As a novice, I thought the watch had a sensor in addition or instead of the chest strap. Not true, guess I just have to use the sweaty chest strap. I also was not aware that you have to set "target zones" that are for people training in a specific heart rate range, so that function really only works for training in one zone. I wanted to use it for meditation and with my biofeedback unit in addition to cardio excercise, but I would need a seperate monitor or else reprogram it everyday.

But the real kicker-it works well on me but does not pick up a reading on my husband-and I am pretty sure he is alive.

Customer Review: Very pleased so far.
Summary: 5 Stars

I have had two pulse monitors before this - both made by Polar. I just wanted a basic model. No frills. Paid over $50 for the first and over 40 for the same model a couple years later. This monitor has many more features at less money! The description I read said you could change the batteries yourself (we'll see) - polar had to be sent to the factory!!

Very pleased so far. Had about a month.

Description of Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor

Accurate Heart Rate Readings Instantly Displayed On Watch Receiver While Wearing Transmitter Alarm Option To Indicate High & Low Personal Heart Rate Limits Mounting Bracket Included To Allow Watch Receiver To Be Displayed On Most Treadmills & Bicycles Adjustable Transmitter Strip Fits Torso 12" - 44" For Added Comfort Water Resistant Watch & Transmitter Approximately To 30 M Stopwatch Function, Time/day Display, Backlight & Storage Case
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.

Monitor your heart rate with Omron's HR-100C. View larger.
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.

Omron includes a chest transmitter belt with the wristwatch-style monitor. This transmitter sends data to the receiver on your wrist at a distance up to 98 feet (30 meters). The HR-100C is built with a backlight function for exercising after nightfall, and it also displays time of day and a daily reminder alarm feature. Also included is a mounting bracket that makes it easy to attach the watch receiver to most treadmills and bicycles and a soft, zippered storage case.

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.
