AMAOF, the August issue has a comparison test of 10 of them, ranging in price from $49 to $200+ or so. For $49, it tells you what your heart rate is. For $200+ it does a lot more, most of which you'll never use. Casio makes a $39 watch with a window that reads capillary flow and tells HR. These are wildly unreliable. I think a HRM should tell your current rate, allow you to set a target range and beep when you're above/below it, monitor time in/above/below during your workout, and have 2 countdown timers so you can do intervals. I have used a Cardiosport, which I liked. I had to replace it with a Polar, which is a pain in the butt to use. Maybe it would be easier if I spoke Finnish. :) Steve -- Test Scoring and Reporting Services University of Georgia Athens, GA 30602-5593 *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Sep 03 1999 - 08:37:33 PDT
