Reebok Strapless Heart Rate Monitor Specs

The Reebok strapless heart rate monitor provides information about your pulse without using a chest strap. It is available in two color options, both with a black band. One has silver accents around the face, the other has purple accents. The Reebok strapless heart rate monitor provides basic heart rate functions, watch functions and a chronograph function.

Strapless vs. Wireless

Many heart rate monitors are wireless. You wear a chest strap that wirelessly transmits your heart rate information to the wrist monitor. The Reebok strapless heart rate monitor does not require a chest strap. Check your heart rate by placing two fingers on the pulse sensors located on the wrist monitor itself. It generally takes 4 to 6 seconds for your heart rate to appear on the display.

Watch Features

The Reebok strapless heart rate monitor has basic watch functions. It has standard time and dual time modes. You can set time in two separate time zones. It also has a daily alarm function and calendar. The Reebok strapless heart rate monitor is water resistant and features night vision for easy reading in the dark.

Heart Rate Features

The Reebok strapless heart rate monitor is ECG accurate. It picks up the electrical impulses produced by the heart. This is not the same as pulse sensors. Pulse sensors, often found on the handlebars of treadmills and elliptical machines, measure the blood flow through the extremities and are not as accurate as strapless heart rate monitors. The memory of the Reebok strapless heart rate monitor provides a recall of the last 20 heart rate readings. It also lists the high and low readings for the current session.

Athlete Features

The Reebok strapless heart rate monitor includes several features for runners and other athletes. The chronograph measures lap times and has a 42 lap recall. A countdown timer function is included. The pacer mode allows you to set your desired running pace. The watch will track the pace, letting you know if you are falling behind or running ahead.

Warranty

Reebok provides a basic 1-year warranty on the strapless heart rate monitor. Defects in material and workmanship are warrantied for one year from the original date of purchase. Some retailers offer an extended warranty on the Reebok strapless heart rate monitor.
