Sportline 1075 Unisex M.E.T.A Heart Rate Monitor + MP3 Player

I almost didn''t buy this because of the other reviews, but in the end because of the $70 discount off of the list price and the features of this Audible HRM I bought one for nyself and one for my wife. This is my 6th HRM purchase over 15 years so I am not new to HRM''s and just think they are cool.

The short of it is that the other reviews are true. It does sometimes give off incorrect heart rate readings especially when my wife and I are running within 5 or 6 feet of each other but it does correct itself within 2 or 3 seconds or when I shift the chest strap, I also use my old Sportline Duo HRM watch and between the two they keep accurate track all the time (with any of my chest strap HRM''s I always use Electrode Gel so maybe some of the other reviews were new to HRM''s) . To get it to be regognized by my laptop the first time I had to plug it in and wait for the drivers to be installed, then unplug it and plug it back in, then a folder pops up and I could put my music on it, after the first time it works like any other removable device.

I have found that with this device calling out my heart rate and telling me when I am below my zone or above it I train my heart rate more consistantly and having 2GB of music storage on this device to listen to makes running 6 miles 3x a week a lot less tedious.

Truth is I would rather have an Addidas MyCoach and a Garmin 405 working together, but this combination works and it is about $450 less expensive. My wife also loves hers, for her this is the first HRM that does give her accurate readings not 50 BPM when she is running or 200 bpm when she is sitting down.

I gave this 5 stars because it does work as well as any other HRM I have used, at $18 ish it is less than 1/2 the price of my other HRM''s and the Audible Coaching rally does help me to meet my HR training goals especially when I am training over 155 bpm and I don''t feel like looking at my watch every 10 seconds or so.

Ok, will admit I was worried that it would not work very well because of the price. But I am happy to report that this is a GREAT device. The battery last for hours and it easy to load songs on it. And the BEST part is the heart rate part. Your heart rate reads out on the screen (which is a crappy screen but who cares for the price) But the best part is the devise calls out your HR over your earphones. It is so cool. I am so glad I bought this!!! You don''t have to look anywhere to check your heart rate. You can concentrate on your workout and not have to read some device to ck you heart rate. I was going to pay $150 for a heart rate monitor watch before I saw this one. I am glad I didn''t. Very please with it.

Want Sportline 1075 Unisex M.E.T.A Heart Rate Monitor + MP3 Player Discount?

I admit to buying this because of the low discount price. I was pleasantly surprised at the performance of the heart rate monitor. In the winter I exercise on a bicycle windtrainer so I like to keep track of my heart rate to be sure I stay in a zone high enough to benefit from the exercise. I have a cateye ear clip heart monitor and this Sportline mp3 player was in very close agreement on the heart rate when I used both at the same time. In my opinion, the Sportline is very accurate. Initial setup is fairly straightforward with good instructions in the booklet. The voice monitor is adjustable or you can turn it off. Easy to add your tunes to the mp3 player. Excellent value!
