Excellent device
 
Review Date: November 30, 2004
Reviewer: Karen K. Little, New York
I looked at numerous devices before settling on this one because it seemed easy to use (and I don't need another watch). I calibrated it against manually reading my pulse and found it to be accurate. To use, place your first finger on the sensor, stay calm (!), then click the button. Wiggling will destroy the reading.
Perfect for taking resting heart rate in the morning

The 6102 works well for getting my resting heart rate first thing in the morning. The display is large enough to read without reading glasses, too. I have not tried using it during exercise, as I already have a Polar HRM.
Accurate and Simple

No chest straps... just place your thumb on the monitor and get a heart rate!!!

I can wear this monitor around my neck or wrist and get an accurate heart rate in 2 seconds.

I have no trouble whether I am biking or doing elliptic regardless of how much I've been sweating.

I cannot get a reading from 98% of the machines at my gym. I tried to use a Reebok strapless wristwatch monitor (trying to put two fingertips on either side of the face) and had to wait about two minutes for a reading.
Convenient to use, accurate and a total deal!

I am very athletic and have used Polar heart rate monitors for years. But some days I just don't want to bother with putting one on and the Tanita is very handy then. I keep it handy when I'm working out and it's great to just stop for a moment and see what kind of heart rate I have. It agrees with the Polar HRM that cost 20X as much.

It's also perfect for checking resting heart rate. I keep it beside my bed and reach for it first thing in the morning to get a true resting rate.

A total deal for the money and very useful!
Fast and reliable.

Reviewer: Caveat Emptor,
The Tanita 6102 is fast and reliable. It typically displays a result in only a few seconds. I have tried several heart rate monitors, and I found that this works faster and better than the more expensive models. It also is capable of displaying higher rates than other monitors.
