Wireless armband heart-rate monitor

The Scosche RTHMA1.5 is a Bluetooth armband that tracks heart rate, calories, distance, speed and pace without a chest strap. It pairs with iOS 5.1 or higher and Android 2.3.3 or higher devices and lets you control music playback from the band. A rechargeable battery provides up to 6 hours of use per charge. The yellow and black unit is designed for women who want a lightweight, wire-free way to monitor intensity during workouts.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Runners, cyclists and gym users who prefer a forearm-worn sensor over a chest strap will find the armband comfortable and unobtrusive. The companion app and partner apps such as Runkeeper and MapMyFITNESS give detailed workout summaries and social sharing. Buyers who need continuous all-day tracking, built-in GPS or swim-proof construction should look at other devices. The monitor also requires a smartphone or tablet to display and store data.

Bluetooth compatibility requirement

The armband communicates exclusively via Bluetooth with devices running iOS 5.1 or higher or Android 2.3.3 or higher. If your phone or tablet uses an older operating system it will not pair with this monitor. No other wireless protocol is supported.
