Frontier X2 Smart Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap, Wearable Heart Rate Monitor with Strain, Breathing Rate, Real Time Vibration Alerts and 20+ Fitness Activities with Continuous Heart Monitoring

Bought as a gift for my daughter to help monitor her heart rate during workout sessions. It has a strap which fits around her chest and it makes a noise if her heart rate exceeds the rate she sets, based on her cardiologist's advice. She is happy with it.

This heart monitor is easy to wear and has a great number of useful features. I really like the livestream ECG feature and the ability to be able to send information to a health professional.Customer services were really good in responding promptly to my queries about how to use the device. I also had an issue regarding the Apple Watch app, but this was helpfully resolved - it was apparent to me that the company really strives to achieve excellent customer service.

In the box you get the monitor, two straps (black and blue, both are adjustable) and a charging cable. You get an easy user guide to set up too.The app can be downloaded onto Apple or android devices. I used Apple so can only talk about its functionality but I assume it’s the same as an android.Set up of the app is easy. Just need to follow onscreen instructions and you’re done in about 5 minutes. It was about 30 minutes for me because the monitor didn’t have any charge, so had to charge it.The monitor has just one button which is rubber. The construction of all parts is good quality and doesn’t feel cheap.First time I wore the device, was during strength training. As you have to have the device on your front, I found it to be quite restrictive when against the strength machines. The strength workout data didn’t record, not sure why but could possibly be because I was wearing the Apple Watch. The monitor and strap is comfortable to wear.In the app. You can’t see active calories. Only tells you total calories. Then the rest of the data is heart rate and training load on the body.Training for about 2.5 hours it used about 4% battery which is good. Not sure about price as it’s my first device of its kind and there is nothing to compare it to.

This is certainly not your average heart rate monitor.is it expensive? Yes. Is it worth the cost? Absolutely.From the moment you open the box you can feel the quality in everything. The strap is very comfortable & you get used to it very quickly. The monitor clips on & off of the strap which makes it very easy to clean.It was very easy to set-up on the app & also connects to my watch. the app gives you more stats then you could need, if theres something you need to see this can show you it.A fantastic heart rate monitor that if you need the data is well worth the money.

Fourth frontier said they might offer a sports top with the contacts built in. This would be far more comfortable for my wife (who is the user), but nothing has been heard since . As an asthma sufferer the continuous breathing rate and heart strain readout is very valuable
