Description of Reebok Fitwatch 10S Strapless Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Blue)
This Reebok strapless heart rate monitor is one of the smallest on the market and allows the user to get accurate heart rate without having to use a chest belt.Specifically made for women, with its lightweight and slender design, this all-in-one heart rate monitor and sports watch by Reebok uses a patented method called "pulse technology" to measure the electrical pulses sent out by your heart each time it beats. Of course, the amazing part is that it works by finger touch rather than the cumbersome chest strap used by most other heart monitors. Within four seconds of touching the sensors on the watch, you can get not only an accurate heart rate reading, but also the number of calories burned during your workout.
The monitor has a programmable heart rate zone with audible and visual alarms to alert you when you get out of zone, plus a settable alarm if you have a maximum rate you should not exceed. Made from durable plastic and fully water-resistant, the device also features regular watch functions, plus a 100-hour stopwatch and countdown timer. It comes with a complete walking and exercise guide and one-year warranty.
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.
Sports reviews of Reebok Fitwatch 10S Strapless Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Blue)
Customer Review: great product!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I received this item very quickly (in six days, shipped to Australia!) and have found it easy to set up and use as both watch and heart rate monitor. The manual is clear and concise; the heart rate function is easy to access and gives an accurate result when compared with a simple pulse count.
I've bought this for health reasons so will be wearing it all the time. The monitor is about twice as thick as a normal cheap digital watch, but it is quite attractive/comfortable and I think it will pass as a watch when I wear it around other people. I have not tested it running, but it's easy to use while walking.
I, for one, found it awkward to use two fingers to make the connection as suggested in the manual and use my thumb and index finger instead.
Customer Review: Strapless--good idea/good watch
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I read countless reviews on heart rate monitors--tough decision but I think I made the right one. Have only had this for a month but I like being able to wear it all the time. It is in fact a watch with time, date, etc. Then you click a button if you want it to be a heart monitor. I'm hoping to get my heart rate up on stairs, etc. at work during the day and I'll be able to see my results. I was worried the strap might be too small for my wrist since I have large bones but it fits fine. I think this watch would fit an female's wrist.
I also bought an inexpensive strap monitor--the Omron--to wear on walks and on my exercise machine because I like the continuous reading of my heart rate like I have used in the past.
The two were about $100.00.
Customer Review: Love this Watch!!!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought this watch because it had a wireless heart monitor. Although it doesn't monitor your heart constantly (you have to stop and recheck your pulse rate from time to time) it is still good while exercising to see if your heart rate is up. The calorie counter isn't all that accurate because it is based on your heart rate, which fluctuates constantly. But all in all, I really like this watch. It has a pretty blue backlight which is great for checking the time at night. I wear the watch all the time, not just for exercising. While I don't use all of the functions that come with the watch, it really has some neat ones to use. I have a very small wrist and it is the only watch I could find of this type that would fit nicely. I recommend it highly.Customer Review: This was exactly what I wanted!

I received this last week and haven't taken it off since. I have used it while running and while exercising in my living room. The quality seems good, the fit is perfect for me and the instructions are clear. I love the calorie counter and the HRM seems extremely accurate. I also purchased a blood pressure wrist monitor, so I have measured my HR with the watch and then the blood pressure cuff and the readings always match or are extremely close.
The only downfall is that you do have to be almost not moving for it to pick up your HR. I wish I didn't have to stop to have this feature work, especially when running.
Other than that minor detail-I love it!

I have the tiniest wrists. To give you a visual: my daughter (a model) is 5'11" and 120 lbs and her wrists are bigger than mine! This watch fits perfectly. I even have an extra slot to spare. It is very sleek that I even wear it when I am not working out. Even my husband was impressed by its style and he is very picky. And - it is sooo easy to check my heart rate. I love the calorie count feature too. Its what keeps me on my recumbent bike (see that review) a little bit longer each time. Love it! A perfect watch/heart rate monitor: a perfect price: a perfect buy!
