Decathlon on rhythm 50 heart rate monitor watch: a good partner for aerobic exercise

"We have gone so far that we have forgotten why we set out" - this poem by Gibran can be used to describe the current situation of the wearable market: a wide range of products have begun to use novel shapes and cool functions to attract consumers' attention, but have ignored the original intention of product design.

——Written in front

This week, a set of pictures of Decathlon's on rhythm 50 sports heart rate monitoring watch was released. From the appearance, the design of this product is simple and a bit outdated. From the black and gray tones and plastic material, it can be basically concluded that this is not an idol-style wearable product.

Like its appearance, the functions of Decathlon On Rhythm 50 can be seen at a glance: time, stopwatch and heart rate monitoring. All operations are completed through the 4 prototype buttons around the dial. Today, almost all smart devices are equipped with a mobile phone application, the simple electronic watch design of On Rhythm 50 shows a bit of stubborn personality.

In terms of settings and function calls, the logic of Decathlon on rhythm 50 is very clear. As long as you played with electronic watches as a child, tinkering with this thing should be a matter of minutes.

As we all know, Decathlon is a sporting goods brand, so sports is also the theme of this product.

Heart rate monitoring is a concern for many sports enthusiasts. Whether it is aerobic or anaerobic exercise, maintaining a suitable heart rate can achieve the best exercise effect and ensure exercise safety. If the exercise heart rate is too low, the exercise effect will not be achieved; if the exercise heart rate is too high, it will harm the health, especially for people with three highs, the elderly or some chronic diseases. The best exercise heart rate control area for normal people is generally between (220-age)×0.6-(220-age)×0.6. Decathlon on rhythm 50 has the function of real-time monitoring of exercise heart rate.

After simply connecting the heart rate monitor and the chest strap, wear the product below your chest and start monitoring your heart rate without any other settings.

There are many products on the market that monitor heart rate, most of which are wristbands. In comparison, the chest strap detector design used by Decathlon on rhythm 50 is theoretically more accurate. Because the chest strap is closer to the heart, its monitoring technology also directly reads the heartbeat, rather than using optical sensors to monitor blood flow and then using software to convert it. There is no problem of accuracy being affected by light or skin.

When exercising, users can get real-time heart rate data through the watch. From the test results, the data will be delayed for a few seconds, but it has no impact on actual use.

It is worth mentioning that the grid design on the back of the heart rate monitor has a better effect of diverting and absorbing sweat during exercise. If you are not a person who has extremely high requirements for comfort, you generally don’t have to worry about feeling oppressive or stuffy when using it.

Different people have different exercise habits. This product is more suitable for sports enthusiasts who like quietness. It does not need to be used with a mobile phone, which saves the trouble of carrying a mobile phone when exercising and avoids interference from the outside world. The low-key and simple design is easy to wear and does not look garish.

Currently, the price of Decathlon on rhythm 50 on Tmall official website is 99 yuan, which is a cost-effective solution for aerobic exercise heart rate monitoring. It is a pity that because it does not support mobile phone connection, this product cannot support data export. If you want to record exercise data, you can choose Decathlon Bluetooth version of heart rate detector. In general, Decathlon on rhythm 50 is a very "real" wearable product: it knows what it wants to do and can present certain functions to consumers at a lower cost.
