dsfbrit Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I would appreciate some advice on where I can buy one of those pulse rate watches worn a lot by people out jogging and at the gym. I thought it would be a simple task, but neither Fascino which has lots of health 'gadgets', nor Tesco sells these. I dont want to try some 'dodgy' market stall somewhere as I want to be sure it works properly. SO if anyone could tell me where they got theirs, or have seen them around in a reputable shop, I would very much appreciate knowing. thanks a lot for your help...

PeeMy Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 You can find these at the Numchai cycle shop on the Sukumwit Road: the shop is on the right hand side just before you reach the footbridge at the traffic lights in Naklua. The pulse-rate monitor has a sensor which fits over the heart on an elastic belt, and relays its measurement to a sophisticated watch which can be attached to a cycle handlebar, training machine or even the wrist. However, these monitors are not cheap, depending on the model you choose of course. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsfbrit Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 Thanks Lindley, I know that shop, I have been in there before and its not far from where I live. Thats about the last place I would have tried...it looks like the sort of place that just sells bikes and their accessories. I bought a bike 'hooter' in there a while ago - so thanks.

DMC1 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) All the 'City Chain' watch shops sell pulse rate/heart rate monitors. There are branches in most of the malls. A friend of mine bought a Puma heart rate monitor from the Carrefour branch recently. Edited January 5, 2011 by DMC1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londoedan Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 The large sports store on the first floor - beach side - at Pattaya Central also sells these. I think they carry some of the Polar range; though they are a bit pricey. I had to replace my chest belt recently and found that it was cheaper to buy a replacement in Singapore. They are excellent devices and I wouldn't be without one - particularly as I am getting on and bit and not keen on reaching my maximum heart rate too often.

dsfbrit Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Thanks to londoedan and DMC1 for the additional sources. Thats great, I have a few more places to try to get a good one. I have not been to buy one yet and have to go to Big C in South Pattaya tomorrow so maybe there is a City Chain shop there. Is there a big difference in the accuracy of these devices is Puma range or Polar range better than the others??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
