yea any idea how good these work?
They are useless for exercise, IMHO, as you have to hold your finger from the other hand on the watch.
So useless if you are running, biking etc., and a pain even if not.
Get a proper HRM with a chest strap. You can get them for under $50 online, del.
I don't know why they cannot have a sensor that clips on your finger like hospitals use.
What is meant by "Calarie" ? Don't you mean Calorie?
They are not accurate at all. I have an identical one and a traditional (accurate) one where there is a transmitter band around the chest. This is extremly unreliable and i wouldn't even reccommend it if it were $5. Useless.
can anyone recommend a suitable one?
i have used the one around the chest type before and found it quite accurate too.definitely ebay , i bought some reebok hrm last year and they are awesome.
the prices are very good for second hand as well

Polar, (even if an old model) are always great reliable HRM. But ild reccommend a chest type one, or the newer (vry expensive) ones that take it from your wrist
@swimmingtoad: Agreed the chest type are really good, and also funnily enough seem to help posture
any chance of getting a new one for $50 or under that is reliable?
@JPOWER: How reliable? No consumer model is highly reliable.
They tend not to work near high-V power lines, e.g. rail tracks.
But a $50 chest-strap model will probably do the job OK. Its not rocket science.Polar are overpriced, and I hate the way they seal the transmitter, so you are expected to buy a new one when the battery runs flat.
BTW, i see ebay has lots of finger-sensor cheapies for under $10 delivered. I guess this is no bargain.
@JPOWER: The reebok set i got was 35.00 normally 199.00 (apparently) and was from ebay
@Mikinoz: is this it, if so, looks like its $99 :(

i dont care for this but i dont agree with saving money is as good as making money, i lose money by buying it.
I tried a similar style of watch with the pulse sensor's through your fingers and heart rate was very inaccurate! If you want a proper heart rate measurement get one of those ones that strap around your chest. Some can transmit to gym equipment or a polar watch.
Bought one of these Aug 08 for $16 (listed RRP$120 - ya rite). Just wanted something cheap & that's what it is. Need to stop exercising, put it into pulse mode & hold finger over sensor for 10-20 sec's. Really not what I wanted. Don't use it. It's ok for rough idea of HR but not for exercise management. It's still working, so that's gotta be something right.
I already had a basic HRM with strap & another advanced pc connected HRM with strap, so have used the range. Recently decided to try again & ended picking up this

Fairly basic HRM but you can set a training zone & has audible alarm. Working well so far (well that one time I tried it anyway).
these any good?
