People having heart problems but they can still make sport need to use these watches, an alarm will announce them when is time to have a break or to slow down the rhythm. A good monitor watch should be water resistant because when training you sweat and this may affect you watch. These special watches should have a wide screen and is recommended to be digital and not analog. The strap shouldn’t be made from metal but from silicon or rubber, this will increase your comfort and flexibility. Make sure the sound of the alarms is strong enough.
