Product Reviews of Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor
Product Review: a good little find
Summary: 4 Stars
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. Product Review: 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.Product Review: 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.

Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my husband when his cardiac therapist suggested he should have one at home. He finds it easy to use and the therapist said it was exactly what he needed. A good price for something that is essential for recent cardiac patients!Product Review: Excellent value and preformance
Summary: 5 Stars
Sensory works well with moisture. A little salt in the water could start the sensor quicker before you sweat. Sometimes the sensory needs to be moved between standing and seating. I got the electrolyte gel that is used for ultrasound, it is easy to apply and works better when standing and sitting.
Replacement batteries can be found on-line in packets for significantly than getting them locally even when considering WalMart. While the rubber O ring seal for the battery opening next to chest works, it can get distorted. In which case sweat can get into the sensor which stops the signal. I was able to resurrect my sensor by using pure Reverse Osmosis or distilled water which was able to dissolve the salt inside the sender and wash it out. The sender when dried worked again. You can use waterproof tape over the battery cover as an additional backup.
The watch work well as just a watch. It has the same battery as the sender. I replaced batteries with about a 6 month interval.
