Title: Medically accurate, the best heart rate monitor
Review: This device is much more accurate than any other heart rate monitor on the market, to even include blood pressure cuffs and pulse ox monitors at the hospital.There are many other types of monitors, they typically take your pulse rate at your wrist or fingertips but this spot is nowhere as accurate as this device on your forearm. I don’t know why or how, but it just is.Also, if you do not have a normal sinus rhythm then those other devices quicky become confused and give erroneous readings.I had to go to the cardiologist for a stress test with the O2 mask and 12 lead EKG. I asked the cardiologist and tech if I could wear this device and compare it to the pulse rate displayed by the ekg and other monitors. They were ok with it and very interested in how it would do.After 20 minutes it crushed this little test. It was spot on for my resting heart rate, max heart rate and only slightly lagged the EKG by a second or two.This is phenomenal and it is hard to relay how wonderful this is, as every other device I’ve used (to include fitbit and chest heart rate monitors) were unable to accurately measure my heartrate as it changed under different levels of cardiac stress. They did ok for my resting heart rate but could not give accurate and/or instantaneous readings of my actual heart rate while working out.The doctor was blown away, he stated that he had never seen a device on the market as accurate as the scosche, let alone a heart rate monitor that could accurately give instantaneous readings of people with arrhythmia’s.I’ve been an athlete my entire life. I did crew and soccer in high school and college. I’ve done marathons, triathlons, 100 mile rides…etc. I’ve tried countless heartrate monitors, polar, suunto, Fitbit…etc and none could come close to me measuring my carotid pulse for 6 sec and multiplying by 10. (Or an entire minute)This device delivers, it’s simple and accurate. It doesn’t slide down like chest straps do when you do long runs, I don’t have to apply any gel to leads. It just works and I know it’s as accurate as a 12 lead EKG. It may not tell me that I have a t-wave abnormality or preventricular contraction but it continuously and accurately gives my pulse rate.The battery lasts about 5-7 one-hour workouts. After that, the pulse rate isn’t as accurate. I know what a pulse rate of 140 feels like for me, so when my watch or phone displays a pulse rate of 90, I check my pulse and realize the device is not relaying correct data and I need to charge it. Once it’s charged, it’s good to go again.It syncs to most devices quickly as it uses standard ANT+ and Bluetooth.Bottom line-this works so well it surprised my cardiologist and I trust it with my life. I actually wouldn’t workout without it anymore.

Title: Accurate, comfortable, long lasting and easy to use heart rate monitor that doesn’t cost a fortune.
Review: This is the best heart monitor I’ve had that wasn’t a chest strap. I paired it with my iPhone 6 Plus, and was glad to see that it worked with the Apple Health app. I’ve mainly used it with IRunner on ios, and it displayed my heart rate changes as I started running and slowed down to walk, indicating that it was indeed closely tracking my heartrate.To get a good reading I’ve had to find the Rhythm Plus’ sweet spot: with the sensor near my elbow, over a vein for the optical sensor. I also made sure the band was snug and tight, but not too constricting. Fortunately the band is very soft, comfortable to wear and easy to adjust.The battery life has been fine so far, my workouts have been around 1 to 2 hours, and the workout app has been registering solid readings throughout, no flakiness in the data. But I think all of that depends on how you position and tighten the monitor on your arm.Different apps (like myfitnesspal) use the heart rate data to calculate your calories expended automatically, which is really nice. I think this was definitely a great purchase because it’s accurate, works well with many ios apps, and is easy to adjust and comfortable to wear.** Update 10-18-2015 **I verified the Scosche Rhythm Plus with the grip heart rate monitor on the Merit 725 T Plus treadmill. Throughout my 2.8 mile run, the differences between the readings were never off by more than 1 to 2 beats per minute – which is exceptional, considering they use 2 completely different methods to measure heart rate (Scosche uses optical measurement, the Merit treadmill uses skin electrical conduction).I now have complete confidence that the Scosche is accurate, and all the apps that use that data are getting accurate results. Very glad I can trust these results and don’t have to use a chest strap heart rate monitor on my runs!!!I do recommend that you do use a second source (treadmill heart monitor, chest strap, Apple Watch, etc) to verify that you are positioning the Scosche sensor correctly, and that your heart rate numbers are very closely agreeing.** Update 10-25-2015 **I did intervals for the first time, pushing my heart rate to 90% and higher. The Rhythm Plus was able to keep up during all my interval running. And I checked my reading with the treadmill HR monitor every few minutes, and again they agreed within 1 to 2 bpm’s. This was a critical test because I tend to over-train and burnout, and now I can see (via my training app) how hard I need to push, and when I need to rest, rather than going by how hard I “felt” I was working.I also found this out while doing intervals: when your bpm goes to 160 bpm or higher, the light on the sensor changes from blinking violet to blinking red, giving a visual indication that you’re above the “target” heart zone. Very clever.Since I was running and pumping my arms quickly, I had to make sure that the band was a little bit tighter so that it wouldn’t loosen up when my arm was flailing. The band being tight (not too tight mind you) didn’t affect my circulation, and helped the sensor give readings that were consistent with my treadmill’s heart rate monitor.

Review: Esta banda es la unica de las otras dos que he tenido de la misma marca que no tiene desconecciones y ademas es mucho mas precisa.

Review: Muy practico y facil de colocar en el brazo. Lo apago despues del ejercicio, cuando lo enciendo de nuevo, de inmediato conecta el GPS, cosa que no pasaba con mi reloj Huawey que constantemente se desconfiguraba el GPS

Review: Love this! It’s accurate and comfortable. My only gripe is that it slip down from time to time, might just be that I haven’t got the strap just right as yet. Right on particular with my H7.

Review: The best heart rate sensor in terms of accuracy. I wish this model had cadence as well for riders but that was added later in rhythm24.Overall, this is still my go to monitor for pairing with my Apple Watch

Review: In canada we don’t have a access to order scosche HRM products so I opted to purchase this one from Amazon. Took only 3 days for delivery. The seller I’d great and responsive with any question. The heart rate monitor works great, battery lasts a while and it’s easy to use.
