Are Heart Rate Monitors Really Useful?

is there good reason to use hr monitors, do they acatually help you?

Where Can I Find A Good Fitness / Heart Monitor?

I have been looking into heart rate monitors. I would like something which tracks my heart rate though out the day, and I am then able to upload to my PC.
I swim alot – so it would need to be waterproof. The nearest thing I can find is the MiBand http://milife.com/ , but this only does “activity” – which seems to be how much you wave your arms around.
Any suggestions?
If anyone has used the MiBand would they recommend it?

About Heart Rate Training
Turns out, your heartbeat is a pretty big deal. It’s actually one of the most important indicators of overall wellness, and is one of the most effective elements of any fitness program. Your heart rate not only controls your body but also the efficiency of your exercise. To get the most out of your physical activity–whether it’s walking, dancing or aerobics–you need to make sure you are in your target heart rate zone. To determine your target heart rate, first subtract your age from 220. That’s your maximum heart rate. Your target heart rate is roughly 50 to 75 percent of this maximum heart rate. To see how your fitness level is progressing over time, measure and track your resting heart rate–usually between 60 and 100 beats per minute–on a weekly basis. As you become more fit, your resting heart rate will decrease.

Your target heart rate generally encompasses three zones. Exercising in the Active Zone (50 to 60 percent of maximum heart rate) reduces blood pressure and cholesterol and is ideal for fitness beginners or those on a low-intensity program. Almost all calories burned in this zone are fat calories. Reaching the Training Zone (60 to 70 percent of maximum heart rate) requires more intense aerobic activity and is perfect for fitness enthusiasts working to burn maximum calories and fat. Finally, exercising in the Endurance Zone (70 to 80 percent of maximum heart rate) is generally recommended for athlete in training. The primary benefits of this zone are cardiovascular strengthening and elevated caloric burn.

Digitally Coding Explained
Sigma Sport’s Onyx models are stand outs due to their digital, coded transmission. Through this technology users avoid wireless disturbances during group training known as “cross talk effect” in specialist jargon. At the start of training, synchronization takes place between the coded chest belt and the heart rate monitor. Consequently the watch only receives data from its own chest belt. The heart rate readings are converted into digital data packages and transmitted to the receiver in the watch. A time coding and ID procedure within Onyx models guarantees that data transmission is significantly more secure compared to analogue heart rate monitors.

Features:

  • Digital coded transmission
  • Easy to read display with large figures and pictograms
  • Easily operated by pressing the flexible decorative ring
  • Training mode with 1 adjustable HR zone
  • Approved to medica standards NO 93 / 42 / EEC
  • EKG-precise
  • Backlight
  • Water resistant
  • Calorie Counter
