Prevention HR-180PV/MF-180PV Reviews
I find the Prevention HR monitor to be very accurate. I have seen some eratic display if the unit is not in contact with the finger or not installed correctly, which I call operator error. I read the instructions and it was operationally instantly. The wrist holder seems to be the weakest link. Time will tell how long it lasts. I have size 11 hands and it fits my hand well. I would recommend this to my friends. I like the continous heart rate without a chest strap, that allows me to exercise without interruption at my optimim stress level.
This unit was purchased with the hope that it would give continuous and reliable readings. It often does, but inaccuracies are not uncommon; e.g., when removed it sometimes continues to report a heart rate, and during use it occasionally reports erroneously higher readings, compared to baton and direct pulse measurements. Others with different hand and blood vessel geometry may obtain different results, but with the anatomical dimensions of my hand I found the unit too inaccurate to consistently rely on. Wearing the unit is not without comfort issues for me. The velcro fastening material is placed along the full width of the finger mount. This results in the unit sometimes becoming uncomfortable to wear. Also, the width of the finger mount meant I could not easily flex my index finger while wearing the unit. The size of this mount can be seen in the product photo. Although settings are not intuitive, the instruction manual is clearly written, and the unit provides a number of useful additional functions, i.e., clock, alarm, stopwatch, under and over heart rate alarms, and calories burned. However, my primary aim was to get a consistently accurate heart rate monitor. For that purpose, this unit has proved less than fully satisfactory.
