Re: [RC] heart rate monitors - sterp

Hi Patty
The difference is in the bells and whistles.  The basic watch takes the pulse and that is it.  Push a button, it turns on and you get a pulse if the transmitter is sending a signal.  The advanced models also replace your watch (I know I don't like wearing 2) .  They will also have options like high/low alarms you can set at predetermined pulses.  A timer so you know how long you have been in the hold without doing math which is often a problem towards the end of a ride.  An alarm so you don't oversleep and miss the start and the really high tech ones have the ability to download your training data into the computer so you can see just how well your horse recovered over the ride.   Personally I use the Enduro C from Roger Rittenhouse so I have a watch.  I do keep the instructions with my heart monitor stuff because I never remember how to change the time and it always seems like I am at a ride when the time changes.  If you need more info let me know I have lots of V-Max inventory and have used his product for years.

More newbie questions...
What are the advantages of the more expensive watch type monitors?
Any bad experiences out there? Any warnings?

It's all wireless. They're simple and easy to use.
 
Don't let yourself get bullied by the hurried people in the vet line.
