Not too long ago I got a gift of a heart rate monitoring watch. This was useful, as I had wanted to track how hard I was pushing myself, and make sure I wasn’t pushing myself too far. It required strapping a device around my chest, however, that was uncomfortable and got even more so as one got sweaty from the running.

Exercise Certification.com has an article about the Impulse, a sports watch that does not require one of those annoying chest straps and monitors your heart rate.

You can see results for the Impulse if you are interested in one here.
