Review by Rob P.Ouch. Over the course of the last week I’ve cycled up hills, climbed stairs and lifted weights. I’ve run for miles and walked for several more. I’ve even been to the gym. Who would have guessed that gadget testing could be so painful?
The cause of this anguish is the Scosche RHYTHM, an app-based heart-rate monitor for iOS and Android. It’s a little different to your average fitness gadget: here, a moisture-resistant pulse sensor is worn on the forearm and the analysis work is done via a Bluetooth connection to your phone or iPod. It’s a setup that’s less constricting than a traditional chest-strap, and it allows a few simple controls to be housed in the sensor itself. These don’t go much further than a status LED, an on/off switch and controls for your music player, but it’s a comfortable arrangement that makes everything accessible when you need it.
