Heart Rate Monitor Reviews of the Omron HR-100C

First and probably most important is the fact that it is accurate and reliable. Next people like it because it does not have all the bells and whistles attached to it that make it not only confusing to use but also makes the wearer feel inferior to the product if the user does not comprehend all the additional functions of the product.

Third, happy users report that being able to see the heart rate, time and day of the month all on a back lit area enables many to do so without their glasses or contacts, which most people do not wish to wear during exercise time! The fact that all of this information is available at a glance is very important for people who perhaps run for exercise. The user will not have to stop and stare at the display to take it all in.

Features - Display

All of this information is displayed on a watch receiver that is 100% water resistant. If you exercise in rainy weather, this will be especially helpful. There is also a stopwatch function on the watch. This means that you will be able to use this Omron Heart Monitor Watch to time yourself between different exercises, or perhaps because you wish to accomplish X amount of reps in X time, or simply perform exercise monitoring.

Handy Feature

I found it highly important that this mode came with very handy mounting brackets, that let me use the watch in such a way that I could read the display while I ran on a treadmill or while I bicycled. Most heart monitor watches do not come with these mounting brackets, and this is one of the things that induced me to buy this particular model. Even better was the fact that this model sports a wonderful chest transmitter belt that can be extended to 98 feet which in Europe is 30 meters.

Also, I was exceedingly happy with the fact that the alarm option allowed me to set my personal low and high target heart limits. That and that alone is a wonderful feature that I did not expect for the low money I had to invest in this Omron Heart Monitor Watch.
