Reebok Slimline 30 Heart Rate Monitor Watch

The Reebok Slimline 30 Heart Rate Monitor Watch comes complete with a wireless chest strap transmitter that sends data to the wristwatch-style monitor. This ultra-lightweight transmitter contours to your body for a comfortable fit and feel and includes a built-in battery. Designed especially for women, the Slimline 30 is built-for smaller, more slender wrists. This monitor displays time of day, calendar, daily alarm, and visual and audible alarms. Plus, it comes equipped with a stopwatch and countdown timer for interval training, and a handy backlight for training when the sun goes down. Based on how hard you're working out and for how long, this monitor is built to track calories burned. And the scan feature slowly flips through the various readings--maximum, average, and minimum heart rate--for no-touch visual monitoring.

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.

Customer Review: Great monitor
I really like this watch. I've only used it a couple of times and have been pretty impressed with it so far. FYI - The band around my chest was a little painful until I figured out I had it on too tight. After that change, it was very comfortable. It calculates your calories burned depending on your normal ambient heart rate, weight, heart rate while exercising, etc. I highly recommend this product. PROS: User changeable battery. The size is perfect and it's even a little "pretty". Not like the big men's heart rate monitor I had before. I like the calorie burn, which seems pretty accurate. It's easy to ignore the monitor strap on your chest. It packs a lot of nice little features like scanning to show your heart beat range, a timer, alarm, etc. CONS: It took me a little bit to set it up while reading the instructions. I'm still not totally sure I got all of the settings right, but I'll play with it more. I also had a hard time figuring out how to clear the calorie count (with it displayed on the screen hold down st/fwd). And a couple of times I've had difficulty getting out of the heart rate mode. But really, those are not enough to knock it down in stars.
Customer Review: Just what I was looking for
I was looking for a heart rate monitor with a user changeable battery on the chest band that was inexpensive and worked. The text on the screen is a bit small showing the different modes and stuff but I can't imagine any other way to include so many features on a small screen. It took me awhile to learn how to use it and set it up as this is my first heart rate monitor but I figured it out and it seems pretty straightforward to use. The chest band is comfortable, it seemed to pick up a reasonable resting and moving heart rate. I think it was a good value. I've been using it for about 2 months now and I absolutely love it. It's great to know how many calories your burning during your workout and to know how high intensity you're working out at.
