Amazon.com Product Description
A terrific entry-level heart rate monitor, the D-74 Heart Rate Monitor for Dummies helps you exercise smarter, not harder. Similar to a standard wristwatch, the strapless D-74 lets you safely and effectively monitor your heart rate and workout intensity with just a quick glance at your wrist--no chest belt required. Monitoring your heart rate is important whether you're training for a marathon or just want to walk for basic exercise and weight loss. Not only can you determine whether you're exercising too vigorously or lethargically, but you can also create a custom workout routine with escalating intensities. Best of all, the D-74 is simple and easy to use, with a Dummies formula instruction guide that walks you through the necessary steps. Specific details include an easy-to-read LCD display with backlighting, 12- and 24-hour time settings, high/low target zone alarms, a stopwatch and countdown timer, a built-in calendar, and a daily alarm. Perfect for first-time users, the D-74 is backed by a one-year warranty.

I have been wearing a Rolex for the past thirty years, but now as a heart patient often need to check my heart rate quickly during strenous activity but without a chest strap.
The digits are large. This is helpful as my 50+ year old eyes are no longer 20/20.
The monitor requires one be relatively still for 3-6 seconds, but it is accurate and reliable so far (several weeks since I bought it).
One extra benefit it has that I am finding useful while grilling etc. is that it has a countdown timer.
I love my Rolex. This I don't love, but it serves a purpose and it works.

I bought this heart rate monitor and recommended it for my brother in law who also bought the same model. In less than 6 weeks, each stopped working.

Bought the thing for my wife, but needed it to check morning resting heart rate, and have been using it ever since. Does not provide continuous reading the way the chest strap models do. And, when on the treadmill, it can be a little bit of a pain to check the heart rate while running. Finally, it takes a few seconds to respond. On the other hand, it is otherwise quite convenient and the absence of the chest strap is a major plus. For anyone who is just monitoring the heart rate whether in the morning or during a workout, this if an easy and convenient instrument. No bells and whistles, but it does what it is supposed to do.
 does the job quite well March 3, 2008

This monitor is basic, simple, and does exactly what it's supposed to do without the hassle of the chest strap. One great thing about using a monitor like this is that you sort of get "trained" to a certain extent to feel when you are above or below your target zone. Before long you can pretty much feel where you're at before looking at it. That's just another level of body awareness that's a good thing. There is one advantage of the other kind that has a chest strap, and that is you get a constant readout of your heart rate. With this type you have to put your fingers on the "watch" for a couple of seconds to get a reading. On the other hand, this one will not pick up false readings from another nearby monitor, like in a health club setting.
