The Omron HR-100C is one of the most affordable heart rate monitors on the market. Does that mean it is a bad product? No but you have to be aware of its limitations.
The Omron HR-100C comes with a basic set of feature. It will display your current heart rate and offers an alarm if your heart rate should ever go out of your target zone but will do little else. The benefit of that is that it is probably the easiest heart rate monitor to use on the market.
This simplicity makes it great for occasional athlete but fitness enthusiast might find the HR-100C a bit limited. Still, with such a low price tag, it makes the use of an heart rate monitor a no-brainer even for the most occasional of athletes.
Be aware though that though I have not been able to test this, some users report interference when training with other people using HR-100C close by. This is due to the lack of encoding for the transmission between the belt and the wristwatch. This could become an issue if your usual training partners also use Omron HR-100C monitors.
Pros:
- Low price tag
- Ease of use
Cons:
- Limited feature set
- Data transmission not encoded.
