    It’s what you need to use iFit heart rate adjustment - same exact results as the echo app and Apple Watch.

    I bought this to track my heart rate while using my Nordic Track Rower RW900. It pairs seamlessly and it is really nice to view my heart rate on the rower screen versus glancing down at my watch.

    Disappointed. Purchased to sync with my NordicTrack Treadmill took 2 hrs to figure out no extra steps needed to pair bluetooth. All that was needed was to turn it on and it was detected automatically. Would've saved lots of time if it were listed on start guide. All guide said was follow Bluetooth pairing instructions on your equipment. Treadmill does not say it will automatically connect had to chat with NordicTrack to get this info.

    This was an add-on to the NordicTrack bike. To get the most out of the bike and IFit we bought this. Works like a charm. No more chest strap, fits nice and connection to the NordicTrack bike was seamless. Get the most info on your workouts. Highly recommend.

    This is a good, dependable arm strap monitor. I use it with my treadmill, which is outfitted with iFit. Once you pair it with the iFit program, it is very simple to use. It will sense your heart rate, and speed you up or slow you down accordingly. You can always override the function, so I like using it. I do have to connect it every time I use the treadmill, but it's automatic to me now. I would buy this again.

    I’m actually not sure I even needed this. Bought to go along with my nordictrack s22i but my apple Watch seems sufficient. Sometimes this will not display my correct heart rate either. I would buy it later if you decide you wanted/needed it.

    Wish I had better things to say because I was very excited about this product at first. I wore it about 10-12 times and it worked beautifully. But it just totally stopped working and of course it is outside the return window. Very disappointed with this product :(

      Thank you for your review about this forearm heart rate monitor. We are sorry to hear the product stopped after working beautifully for those 10-12 times.

      Can you specify what the monitor is doing now? We would like to ensure you have a working product.

      Please contact us with your case #1-R100824 at ce@iFIT.com. We look forward to resolving this issue with you.
