Pulse Ring

Unless you count the throbbing sound in your ears, it’s not easy to track your pulse as you exercise. Seasoned gym-bods often use chest straps, watches and all manner of fancy Bluetooth oojimaflips. But if you couldn’t give a monkeys about the number of calories you’re burning, your weight on other planets, or any of the other fancy functions on offer; why not keep things simple and put on the Pulse Ring.

Simple, discreet, but suitably high-tech to impress fellow gym-goers, this clever gizmo will track your pulse as accurately as any chest strap. Infra red sensors built into the ring will detect your pulse in any finger. Just pop it on, set it to monitor mode and hit the treadmill.

The comfortable shape and light weight mean you’ll hardly notice it as you exercise; and the LCD screen is just as easy to read as a wristwatch. When you’ve finished exercising, the Pulse Ring automatically shuts down after a minute; conserving the battery for your next session. Or you can switch it to the equally handy watch mode. A host of alarms and audio cues can be set, so you don’t have to adopt the Bruce Forsyth pose as you run.
