positron Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Apologies if this a silly question - any recommendations on a good looking replica with HRM (heart rate monitor)? Its for jogging/running etc, so I guess it shouldn't be too heavy either...! thanks a mil, Pos, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Haven't seen any, you're better off buying a Casio or something like that, as I doubt a replica would ever be ale to replicate such a complication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollux1 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 A replica watch, whilst to be admired for it's looks is one thing, but would you seriously, even if one were available, trust one to monitor your heart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
positron Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) Thanks b16a2, and pollux1! Fair point pollux1 - but - I doubt if anyone would trust a watch with HRM to do any serious reading anyway! As far I am concerned, its yet another feel good reason to get out and going..! Now to be honest I don't really know much about replicas and the mechanisms behind them, but I thought HRM monitoring sensors or whatever are fairly low tech (digital and easy to, well, replicate)... thought it would have made its way into replicas... mea culpa..!

Most replica collectors wouldn't buy a digital rep. We're mainly mechanical collectors. On top of that, I don't think anyone who buys modern digital does so for the aesthetics. Digital watches are feature-driven, so you'd be as well making your own version and selling it cheaper than making an illegal copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Polars are probably the most popular. I use a Sigma Sports one...pretty basic, but works fine. I don't use a lot of the tracking features...I just want target highs and lows, and alarms when I dip below/above targets. There are GPS ones as well...but these things suck batteries.
