Customer Reviews of Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor

Customer Review: Great Product Great Price
Summary: 5 Stars

Great value
Comfortable (Also, Large range of adjustment for fit, maybe 1" more than Timex on wrist)
Simple to use
Simple Data (time/date/alarm, stopwatch, current heart rate, min\max alarm) NO history or data logging.


Most of the time when you only spend $30 on something you think it's going to be poorly made and feel like no one put any time or effort into the design. This product although very simple has a nice look. Your wife won't let you wear it to church but it isn't distracting. Also the buttons have nice travel and a soft push, think opposite of the original Timex Ironman. The wrist band is generous, I normally can't wear sport watches because my wrists are to big but this one has room to spare, also rare for $30. The transmitter is simple plastic on the front 12" and then an adjustable elastic band, again I'm a big guy and this would fit someone bigger. The battery on the chest strap is easy to get to and the watch would need jeweler's screwdriver. Just got it today so I don't know about battery life. The watch seems to know when it isn't moving and stops update HR this is a plus because it will save batteries.

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. The weak electrical current is not felt while operating the Body Fat Analyzer. The monitor is calculated by a formula that includes five factors; electric resistance, height, weight, age and gender.
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.
