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.

Rating: - Bad first impression
The product comes with batteries included and already installed. My watch/receiver didn't work and I couldn't get it to work. I emailed the company and they replied that for safety reasons they install batteries with little charge in them so they won't explode and ruin the product and suggested I replace the "free" batteries. This requires a trip to a jeweler or some other professional as battery replacement requires taking the watch apart. New batteries weren't that much and the jeweler I took ... Read More

Rating: - Died after eating through batteries.
I bought this about 6 months ago and it died. It all started about 2 days after i bought it. Whenever i would hit the big button to turn on the light on the watch it would make the numbers impossible to see. I thought it was a normal reaction to dying batteries, so i replaced them (I had just received the watch). That seemed to fix the problem for about 1 week. then it started to get worse and worse. I replaced the battery 2 more times (making this bargain watch less bargain). Then yesterday it died ... Read More

Rating: - good purchase
I bought this for my husband when his cardiac therapist suggested he should have one at home. He finds it easy to use and the therapist said it was exactly what he needed. A good price for something that is essential for recent cardiac patients!

Rating: - Excellent value and preformance
Sensory works well with moisture. A little salt in the water could start the sensor quicker before you sweat. Sometimes the sensory needs to be moved between standing and seating. I got the electrolyte gel that is used for ultrasound, it is easy to apply and works better when standing and sitting.
Replacement batteries can be found on-line in packets for significantly than getting them locally even when considering WalMart. While the rubber O ring seal for the battery opening next to chest works, ... Read More

Rating: - Broke after 1 day
Can't recommend it. Just like other reviewers, the battery was dead after a day. After replacing battery, the item still never worked right.

Ended up throwing away since I was past my return date for Amazon (I didn't open it for a while after getting it)
