The Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor is easy to program and a cinch to wear with a ventilated watch band. Knowing your heart rate is important because if you're working out too hard, your activity can actually become counter productive and strain or damage muscles. 
Monitor your heart rate with Omron's HR-100C. View larger. | 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. Theweakelectrical current is not felt while operating the Body Fat Analyzer. The monitoris calculated by a formula thatincludes five factors; electric resistance,height,weight,ageandgender.
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.

 Best Heart Rate Monitor for the Money! August 8, 2008
R. Johnston
This is a great heart rate monitor for the money. I had a polar heart rate monitor for years and it worked fine; however, it was misplaced during a move to another state. Key Points to consider:
A couple hundred dollars less than the major brand monitors.
Easy to use and see even in low light conditions with the back light button.
My old monitor had so many functions but most went unused.
No interference when using with my treadmill.
Comes with bike mount and carrying case.
Reliable. Make sure its snug, properly placed, and wet the pads prior to putting on the cheststrap.
One button transfers from stopwatch to heartrate... no big deal even during track workouts.
I would have been skeptical but I own the Omron HEM-637 wrist blood pressure monitor with Intelli Sense and it works great and is very accurate so I went for it and I'm very pleased!!!
 ok, but... July 31, 2008
Herbert M. Laney (Chicago IL)
The product works fine, but the first time I used it, the raised crystal on the watch got scratched, directly blocking the time viewing area. Also the numbers (time, heart rate, etc) are of a font that is not particularly easy to read. Other than that, the product is good for the price.
Battery change is complicated. July 31, 2008
Leo (New York, USA)
This is a two piece package. You get a chest strap that is read by any standard monitor. This means that any of those treadmills, bikes, and ellipticals in your gym that have a Polar system will read it.
The other part is the watch/monitor. That worked pretty well until the battery died. I tried to replace it myself, and it has not worked since. I recommend you take it to one of those mall kiosks to have the battery changed.
I feel like the chest strap was the more useful part anyways, and I use it every time I go to the gym.
 Kinda Junky... July 26, 2008
Sarah M. (Nashville, TN USA)
I used this once. When I went to use this again two days later, it didn't work. I am a fat woman running, at it was registering either no heart rate, or a rate of something like 60. I tried all of the troubleshooting steps in the istructions, it didn't work. So, there went that idea.
Didn't work for me July 21, 2008
T. Sodhi (NJ)
Used it for a week, gave it every benefit of the doubt, but if someone tells you ur heart rate fluctuates from 62 to 84 all while ur just standing next to you bike doing nothing what will you say. For me, it's not even remotely accurate, advice to stay away
