[OT] Wrist Pulse Monitor
Anyone have one of these? Can anyone make any recommendations for a
cheapie? I'd just need something that I can wear on my wrist that will monitor my pulse as I bike so I can stay in my ideal heart rate range for exercising. Hugs, CatNipped |

Hugs, CatNipped I have one called the Poltek (I think). It has a band you put around your rib cage and wear a wrist monitor. It was 50$ Works really well. Well, I was looking for something for *just* around my wrist and a little cheaper. So far I've found this: http://www.everythinghome.com/ti54fisy2.html for $38.00 (but I'm *really* cheap)! ; They wanted $150 at the bike shop and just the mention of that price made me pale! LOL! Hugs, CatNipped |

Hugs, CatNipped Try here. C.E., I have not bought from them, they were the first to pop up in Google. http://bodytronics.com/shop/index.cg...+heart+monitor $39 for a wireless chest monitor. I've got the same brand, but a slightly different model. Don't cheap out on the wrist version, they don't work that well. |

I've never heard of wrist ones -- just ones for around your chest -- which makes me suspicious of the wrist one. Possibly wrongly. Hm, I would think, for non-medical monitoring, a wrist one (that counts the pulse in your wrist) should be fine. But then again, I know zip about these things.

Maybe wrist ones get annoying if you're doing stuff? I've always thought a HR monitor of any type sounds annoying. A friend of mine has one integrated into her sports bra ... so I guess that would be slightly less annoying if the bra happens to fit well and work for your body type ... -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

I'd just need something that I can wear on my wrist that will monitor my pulse as I bike so I can stay in my ideal heart rate range for exercising. Hugs, CatNipped We've got cheapie & expensive ones. The cheapie is, sadly, one you can't get on your side of the pond, but perhaps it can give you an idication of price?? It cost £12.99 (about $23??) and it's a combined cycle computer and HRM. The basic functions are current/average/max speed distance covered on current trip/total distance covered, time/date and the HRM functions are current, max & average HR. The all-singing, all dancing one is a different kettle of fish, it's a Ciclosport HAC4 Plus, costing about £200, and does everything bar empty the dirty litterboxes. All data can be downloaded to computer to be analysed. Cheers, helen s |

Made by Seiko, IIRRC. Wasn't terribly expensive - seems to me is was about $90. It monitored/recorded BP/Pulse. Worked very well ... up until it was stolen from me. -- Once a suicide bomber, always a suicide bomber |
