What Are Strapless Heart Rate Monitors?
The original technology for exercise and sports heart rate monitoring required a chest belt. This is a lightweight belt worn around the chest close to the heart. There are sensors that pick up electrocardiogram signals and then transmit them to a display on a wristwatch.Newer technology now allows the user to merely touch two poles on a wristwatch display and display their heart rate within 4 seconds.
For some exercisers and trainers, strapless may be the preferred method. In addition to not having to wear a cumbersome chest belt, the chief benefit is the accuracy of electrocardiogram (ECG) readout is extremely accurate and for most non-elite athletic training, it is a perfect fit.
This product is ideal for walkers, joggers, express gym goers, anyone who is doing aerobic exercise and wants to train in their heart healthy zone. As an added plus, because there is no chest belt, it can be worn all day.
Sports Beat was the originator of the "quick touch" 2-button technology for highly accurate and immediate readings.
