About Reebok
Reebok's United Kingdom-based ancestor company was founded for one of the best reasons possible: athletes wanted to run faster. So, in the 1890s, Joseph William Foster made some of the first known running shoes with spikes in them. By 1895, he was in business making shoes by hand for top runners; and before long his fledgling company, J.W. Foster and Sons, developed an international clientele of distinguished athletes. In 1958, two of the founder's grandsons started a companion company that came to be known as Reebok, named for an African gazelle.

Heart Rate Monitor October 30, 2008

Works really well. I use it during exercise and to check my resting heart rate. Generally gives a good reading.
Great! June 13, 2008

I've had this for several years now and it's very accurate, great battery, like the stop watch. It has a lot of bells and whistles so i don't use the lap timing or the alarm but they are great extra's if you are looking for that. I just like to check my heart rate while exercising and have compared it when to other monitors, and it is accurate within one number. It has a light on the side so you can ses it at night too!
Works Very Well April 16, 2008

If you hate having to put on a strap and constantly adjust it, then this is the product for you!
As some have already noted it does require you to pause for a few seconds to get a good reading. But, I've been doing a ton of exersice videos and sports like basketball and soccer which always give me a few seconds of pause to take a reading. It gives a great read out of the amount of time you have exercised and total calories burned. I found that adjusting the wrist band about one notch tighter than I might wear a normal watch was helpful in getting good contact with the skin for a quick results. With the exercise videos it is very easy to remember to take regular readings. But with other sports it might be more difficult.
One con to the strapless technology is that there is no constant reading, which could set off an alarm to notify you when your heart rate is above or below the desired zone. It only alerts you when you take the reading. The chest strap technology does provide an advantage in that area, if the feature comes with your product.

I purchased this item and it never stated a size on the description. It came and was made for a woman. I tried calling the company over several days left no answer only allowed to leave message on a machine. I never got called back had to contact amazon to resolve this matter.

I would give it a 9 out of 10... The only drawback is that it does not provide a constant monitoring. You must press a button to get a new, up to date reading... not bad, but it does throw you off your stride.
