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: Metal buckle sliced right through strap - now useless!
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
I loved this watch/monitor. But after just a few uses, the pin attaching the buckle to the plastic strap just sliced right throught the plastic! Imagine butter and a knife, and you'll understand the effect of what happened. This is completely useless now. No idea how they could design such a weak piece of plastic to support a metal pin. That was [...] bucks down the drain!Customer Review: Horrible piece of junk
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
I wish there were an option of giving NO stars because that's what this would earn from me. This thing sucks. First of all, you can't wear it while swimming. Secondly, the heart rate buttons work only when they feel like it, and third (and most annoying), the calorie counter continues to count calories being burned AFTER YOU'VE TAKEN OFF THE WATCH!!! What a ripoff!Customer Review: Unreliable and returned it. Amazon rocks, though.
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
Read all the reviews, was OK with not getting a continous heartrate reading, but was a little concerned with the reviews saying the monitor simply did not work. Took a chance anyway and bought one. Guess what? My monitor simply did not work. Sometimes I would get a heartrate, other times nothing. Unacceptable. Kudos to Amazon for a quick and easy return.Customer Review: Calorie count way off

I received this watch as a gift. After wearing if for a couple of months doing aerobics, tennis, walking etc I found the calorie count to be way off. There is just no way I spent that many calories. I returned the watch. And I agree the heart rate monitor is a pain to operate. Looking for a new heart rate watch with an accurate calorie count.Customer Review: Calorie counter useless

I used this watch last night when running on the treadmill. It wouldn't take my heart rate while I was running. I had to stop and then--after a few attempts--it would finally get a reading. Frequently the readings were way off. It was tremendously frustrating. I don't think I can return it, because it is used. Thankfully I got it on sale.
