Essential kit for swimmers
There are some distinct issues with swimming that make it hard from the competitive swimmer to monitor their heart rate.
This gadget fixes to the swimmers goggles and attaches to the ear where it can easily take the wearers pulse rate and therefore allow the swimmer to monitor their performance levels.
Features – It converts the pulses into beats-per-minute (BPM) and uses bone conduction technology to transmit clearly spoken heart rate readings through your temple bone to the inner ear. As unobtrusive as a Bluetooth earpiece, the heart rate monitor attaches to a goggle strap and does not rely on chest or wrist straps, ensuring it won’t inhibit swim strokes. You can set it to automatically relay readings from 20 seconds to five minutes apart, or you can receive immediate readings with the touch of a button. Operates for eight hours after a three-hour charge via the built-in USB plug. 3 1/2″ L x 1 1/2″ W x 1/2″ D. (1 oz.) Priced at $159.95
