Easily measure your intensity level whether standing still or running in full stride with the Solo 925M men’s heart rate watch. Boasting Sportline’s patented One- Touch technology, the watch responds to a single touch of the finger to deliver accurate EKG heart rate readings, so you can stay focused on your next lap, rep, or whatever else lies ahead. The Solo 925M also calculates your target heart rate zone and counts your calories burned, helping you design the optimum workout. And best of all, the Solo 925M doesn’t require an uncomfortable chest belt, nor do you have to stand still to measure your pulse. Easy to use, accurate, and responsive, the Solo 925M lets you cruise at your own speed with no strings (or anything else) attached. Other details include 12- and 24-hour time settings, a large digital backlit display, a three-beat speed sensor, a countdown timer, and an out-of-zone alarm. The Solo 925M is also backed by a one- year warranty.


I purchased this product two months ago and it has worked wonderfully. As another reviewer pointed out, wearing a chest strap monitor can be a hassle to take on and off and I certainly do not need to know my heart rate every second so using a Heart Rate Monitor Watch was an easy choice. The watch is very easy to set up and use and the push butttons on the side of the watch are well designed and are easily depressed even if you have large fingers. I have had no problems at all obtaining a heart rate reading from the watch at anytime whether I am biking, running or on the eliptical trainer. In addition, I tested the accuracy of the heart rate monitor watch against my old chest strap and the heart rate monitors that are built into the handles on some of the cardio machines. The heart rate monitor watch consistently showed a beat per minute that was within 1-2 beats of the other heart rate monitors I tested it against.

I’ve owned mine now for a year and I don’t think “reliable” makes it sound correct… more like difficult sometimes. What I’ve found is it is very very precise for measuring the heart rate but occasionally, you press the button and you get nothing. From what I learned, you must have the watch snug and plant your finger over the sensor firmly and with the pad of your finger, it then reads. I say NOT always, it doesn’t always work.
So, like the reviewer said, it is one handed, it is very difficult to actually do while exercising on say a treadmill BUT short of that, I’ve found it excellent for bodybuilding, for outside running, for general cardio without having to have a watch with a strap around my chest.
The convenience of having an everyday watch without a strap makes it outweigh the cons of occasionally not having the watch read properly. When I say occasionally, I can say 99.9% of the times were while on the treadmill, not anywhere else. Other than that, it is fantastic…yes, fantastic because I don’t have to remember to put the chest strap in my bag, I don’t have to think about a cardio moment, if I wanna run, I do so. I have gone from wearing my Seiko dive watches to this everyday because I have a Macbook Pro that is brand new and this watch does not interfere with the my carpel tunnel habit of laying the wrists on the laptop while typing.

Let me start with something positive. When you can get a reading it is pretty accurate. Getting a reading is the hard part. I bought this to take to the gym every morning. I exercise strenuously and wanted to monitor my heart rate because I am 60. You can’t be exercising and get a reading. Sometimes I can go minutes with my finger pressed to the sensor and not get a reading. Don’t even thing of using it biking or running. The technology doesn’t seem like it should be that difficult but if this model is any indication the technology is rocket science. I looking forward to it breaking or the battery running down so I can get myself to buy one of the chest strap models. I’m to cheap or i’d throw this one away and but the chest strap model now.

showering

After much debate and reading the reviews here, I picked this watch. It did what as advertised and then some. Comfortable to ware all day, I usually only have it on when I am working out. I like the fact that it has no chest strap to mess around with. When checked against the readout while on the treadmill at the hospital cardio rehab appointment, the rate has always been within 1 beat count. For me, the Sportline 925m is what I was looking for and well worth the price. I’m very hard on any watch, so I’ll have to see how this one holds up. I’d get another one.
