Are pulse watches any good?
Yes. There are many good pulse watches now being sold at reasonable prices. They are being used all over the globe in many institutions including college, university, military and hospital settings. They have many various features but the more useful for cardiac athletes includes audible alarms for programmable upper and lower training heart rates and coded transmission to avoid ‘cross-talk’ . Otherwise you could be exercising at someone elses heart rate if they too are wearing an uncoded pulse watch !
