Health & Personal Care : Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor
Rating: 
- Cheap and functional
Works well, seems quite durable too.
You have to get a snug fit around your chest, but unlike the manual advises it was not necessary for me to lube up the contact points with liquid (thank God, that would be awkward).
I've used it at my desk, at the gym, and it tracks pretty well with a delay of a mere one or two seconds. This item is ideal if you want the simple basics that work well and durably, without having to pay extra money for frills.

This is a great device for monitoring your heart rate during exercise. The price is great too!

- a good little find
Good, basic little heart rate monitor. The numbers are in the range I was seeing on the tread mill's heart rate monitor so I assume it to be accurate. Worth the money just for the watch alone.
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 the watch to only charged $5 for the replacement labor, but I had to go through all that just to use my product for the first time. Once that mission was accomplished the monitor seems to work fine, but it was a bad way to begin with a new product.

- 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 completely when i tried to turn on the light on the watch. I will go with a polar next time. it may be more expensive, but my friends who have them are still using them while i am burying mine in the back yard in a solemn ceremony tonight. 'Ave Maria'
