Whats Available On the Market?
Why would you buy a strapless Rebook heart rate monitor when there are so many different types of monitors available in the market? The traditional heart rate monitors detect your heart rate with a chest strap which then is transmitted to the watch or the device on your hand. However, in the case of strapless heart rate monitors, all you need to do is to place your finger on the face of the watch for some seconds and you get your reading. Devices with straps are cumbersome since the strap may slip or may not be really comfortable. The electrodes in the monitor need to be fixed with creams etc. The biggest advantage of using this kind of a heart rate monitor is that you can get constant readings which are immediate.
Another problem with the strapless monitor is that taking a reading means slowing down the jog, exercise or work out. Which means that by the time the reading is taken the maximum heart rate is no longer in the same as it was at the peak of the work out.
Downside
However, though there are some disadvantages, the advantages of a strapless monitor are many. The first one is that during an intense work out routine, you won’t anything that’s dangling from the chest.

Moreover you can even use this heart rate monitor in meetings and other occasions where you think that your heart rate has increase.
