It combines Zephyr's Smart Fabric™ heart rate sensor technology, movement sensors, and Bluetooth wireless connectivity on a chest strap for athletes who live on the cutting edge of technology.

Paired with the HxM, your phone can track your exercise intensity level, speed, and distance while playing your music, tracking your GPS location, and providing calling services.

It is woven onto a soft, elastic, adjustable (up to 40 inches) strap that is worn under the shirt around the sternum. The Bluetooth 2.0 transmitter module has 26-hour battery life and is snap-detachable. This allows the HxM to be easily recharged by the included USB cradle and the chest strap is machine-washable. It is covered by a 12-month limited warranty from defects and the strap itself is replaceable.

Zephyr HxM - Delivers Heart Rate, Speed & Distance to Android and BlackBerry Smartphones Reviews
| 34 of 35 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Zephyr HxM - Delivers Heart Rate, Speed & Distance to Android and BlackBerry Smartphones I've been using the HxM for a few weeks paired with my Motorola Droid (using 2 different apps) and I'm very happy with the product. Unlike my previous Polar strap, the HxM strap is all-fabric with no plastic contacts that get all sticky on my skin. Because let's face it, when you're working out, if you aren't sweating you're missing the point. The HxM is very light, thin, and soft. I could easily wear this all day. There's plenty of battery life to last a week between recharges. If you want to get a leg up on working out and really get some peak performance out of your body, do yourself a favor and get the HxM now. 36 of 38 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: Zephyr HxM - Delivers Heart Rate, Speed & Distance to Android and BlackBerry Smartphones I really wanted to like this product - it's very cool to be able to integrate my HR with my Android phone & use SportsTrackLive to monitor my pace & distance, and to have my heart rate announced to me every X seconds while I'm running so I know just how I'm doing, all while listening to tunes on Pandora. So, that's great and all, but very frequently after a half hour or so, the Zephyr will tell me that my heart rate has dropped way down - for example, from 160 to 80. It's so irritating and makes me completely lose focus on my run when I hear the thing announce such a low heart rate. It'll often happen during a very difficult part of the run when I'm really pushing myself, so it's especially distracting when I know my HR has got to be getting close to the max and the thing tells me it's at 80. I end up slowing way down and futzing with the unit, re-positioning the strap, unsnapping and resnapping the module, etc. Sometimes the HR will get back to normal again, but it's...

While new to biking and just getting back into weight lifting, this is the first HRM that I've used, and while expensive, it provides seemless, live, heart rate information on my Droid. I get to track my biking route through the Droid's GPS, as well as my avg and top speed, average and top BPM's, and so on. This little baby frees me up from having to keep track of multiple devices, and allows me to use one device to track all of my information needs, and provide a little musical entertainment while on those long bike rides. It's accurate (when compared to the manual method of checking your pulse for 15 seconds then multipying that by 4), extremely light weight, and the belt is extremely easy to clean (just pop the monitor itself off the belt and wash!) My only complaint is that the device only comes with a USB charger. Not... Read more |
