What To Look For
Reebok's line of heart rate monitor line consists of pretty basic and reasonably priced models. Some come with straps and some are wrist-only units, and even the most advanced model has only a chronograph, calorie and lap counter, and some heart rate data analysis features. This makes them perfect for use in most fitness training programs so choosing among them is a matter of what that program is based on. If you go jogging every morning, the chronograph and lap counter will be more useful than they would be if you were mostly working machines at the gym.
Common Pitfalls
The limited range of Reebok's product line also limits its application to competitive athletes, who often have highly specialized needs. For example, a marathon runner who is looking for some help in planning and monitoring her training regimen will find even the best Reebok heart rate monitor only provides the raw data and that they still need to do a good bit of work.
Where To Buy
It is probably best to shop for Reebok heart rate monitors online because this offers the greatest range of choice among models and the best bargain-hunting opportunities. To go shopping for one in a brick-and-monitor store requires calling ahead to make sure the store carries the Reebok product line.
Cost
Reebok's heart rate monitors might be simple, but they are reasonably priced. In 2009, the prices ranged from $35 to $100, depending on the model and the retailer.
