Soleus Pulse Strapless HRM Watch
Soleus has just launched another innovative product that runners and fitness enthusiasts would surely love. The Soleus Pulse is strapless heart rate monitor that measures your heart rate from your wrist.
Most heart rate monitors are chest mounted. You have to put on a strap across your chest and the data is sent wirelessly to your watch or phones. Some of the problems I would encounter is using a chest mounted HRM is that they can be bulky and heavy. It can also be uncomfortable and would sometime fall off from the chest while running. A strapped or chest-mounted heart rate monitor can be inconvenient although new designs have address some of these issues.
Soleus Pulse is a watch that uses a built in accelerometer and a band mounted sensor. It tracks your heart rate through your wrist. So no need for those annoying straps. Aside from the heart rate, it also counts your calories, steps and distance. You can also set goals and track your progress. That’s a huge list of features for a heart rate monitor.
Soleus admits that the Soleus Pulse is not as accurate has having a chest mounted HRM. But the features and price point is very reasonable. If you are interested in a chest mounted HRM, Soleus have them too.
The Soleus Pulse is priced at 7,950 Php. It is available at L Timestudio and Timegear Boutiques.
Never Miss A Beat

I do not need a heart rate monitor but this product upgrade is a welcome development! I am a Soleus GPS 1.0 user and would upgrade to Soleus Pulse when budget permits. 😀
