Sportline Solo 910 Heart Rate Monitor

Here is a first hand review of the Sportline Solo 910 Heart Rate Monitor from one of our consumer testers. Lightweight and affordable, the Solo 910 can make a great difference in any weight loss or exercise campaign. It’s also kind of fun, almost addictive to actually see your progress in real numbers.

The review:

For me, the Sportline Solo 910 Heart Rate Monitor is just what I need. Exercise has always been a chore for me and what’s more, when I exercised I always felt like I was going to have a heart attack. I talked to my doctor about this and he said that my heart was fine but suggested that I get a home heart rate monitor to be on the safe side. I had heard great things about the Sportline Solo 910 Heart Rate Monitor so I decided to give it a try. I stopped by Sears that very same day on my way home from the doctor and purchased the ladies Sportline Solo 910 Heart Rate Monitor, it cost me just under $50 dollars. Once I had reviewed how to use it and set it up for me (fairly easy), I found that I had to press a button and hold it for up to 45 seconds to get my heart rate. I decided to check my heart rate before beginning my exercise routine and then every time I felt like I was going to collapse since I would be stopping activity then anyway. I found out that my heart rate was nowhere near dangerous and so I began to up my activities and I feel a lot better. I still check my heart rate before I start to exercise and at intervals during exercise breaks.

I can use the Sportline Solo 910 Heart Rate Monitor anywhere without the use of one single wire, help or a doctor. The digital display is easy to read and there's a light for low light situations. I also love that it is water resistant up to 30 feet and I can monitor my heart rate while swimming. With the sports timer this watch is the perfect companion while exercising. The extras that come with the watch like the hourly chime, the built in calendar, chronograph and sufficiently loud alarm are all useful bonuses.

I started calorie counting recently and I realized that I could get more accurate information about how many calories I was burning if I used my heart rate monitor. I would recommend this watch for any women monitoring their health, runners, elite athletes, or those who are looking to lose weight. The watch doesn’t feel very comfortable on my wrist if I wear it very snug, but it has to be snug when checking my heart rate so I keep it loose until I need to check my heart rate. My only wish is that it was more stylish.

gives a clear, easy to read heart rate every time
It’s not too high of a price to pay for monitoring your health.
