Nike HRM Triax 15 Heart Rate Monitor:
Click through any product description about heart monitors in our Altrec.com site and you'll quickly realize that we're strong advocates of portable pulse rate measurement devices. It's not because we're triple-bypass veterans or aspiring Olympic athletes (although a few of us would like to think that we could qualify for the latter category) it's because heart rate monitors are one of the best training tools for any workout. Sermon aside, we would like to point out that the Nike HRM Triax 15 is one of the most affordable feature-packed heart rate monitors around. Five years ago you could pay $100 for a heart rate monitor that did nothing more than display your heart rate and tell the time, but the Triax 15 has a graph mode, 15-lap memory, full chronograph, two-segment countdown repeat timer, alarm, time/date display, data recall and programming options for displaying two time zones. The large, easy-to-read display beneath the scratch-resistant mineral glass is set at an angle so you don't have to tilt your head to see your workout results. The complete package is protected by a lightweight and durable anodized stainless steel bezel set in a pre-curved PC strap.
