I have had timex watches for the past few years and they are really good for the price

After getting this hearth rate monitor a year ago, I can say that no workout is complete without it's use. It is a great way to track how hard you are working and I especially love that I can use it as a guide for how many calories I am burning each workout.

The package comes with a strap for around your chest that can be easily adjusted. You must follow the directions and apply a little bit of water to the back nodes in order for the monitor to immediately read your heart rate. Also, often the monitor takes a few minutes to track your heart rate. At first I thought my batteries were running low but it seems to be a common issue. When it first is turned on, the monitor reads a very low rate. Once you start exercising, however, the monitor quickly readjusts itself.
