Review: Accurate, comfortable, long lasting and easy to use heart rate monitor that doesn't cost a fortune. - This is the best heart monitor I've had that wasn't a chest strap. I paired it with my iPhone 6 Plus, and was glad to see that it worked with the Apple Health app. I've mainly used it with IRunner on ios, and it displayed my heart rate changes as I started running and slowed down to walk, indicating that it was indeed closely tracking my heartrate. To get a good reading I've had to find the Rhythm Plus' sweet spot: with the sensor near my elbow, over a vein for the optical sensor. I also made sure the band was snug and tight, but not too constricting. Fortunately the band is very soft, comfortable to wear and easy to adjust. The battery life has been fine so far, my workouts have been around 1 to 2 hours, and the workout app has been registering solid readings throughout, no flakiness in the data. But I think all of that depends on how you position and tighten the monitor on your arm. Different apps (like myfitnesspal) use the heart rate data to calculate your calories expended automatically, which is really nice. I think this was definitely a great purchase because it's accurate, works well with many ios apps, and is easy to adjust and comfortable to wear. ** Update 10-18-2015 ** I verified the Scosche Rhythm Plus with the grip heart rate monitor on the Merit 725 T Plus treadmill. Throughout my 2.8 mile run, the differences between the readings were never off by more than 1 to 2 beats per minute - which is exceptional, considering they use 2 completely different methods to measure heart rate (Scosche uses optical measurement, the Merit treadmill uses skin electrical conduction). I now have complete confidence that the Scosche is accurate, and all the apps that use that data are getting accurate results. Very glad I can trust these results and don't have to use a chest strap heart rate monitor on my runs!!! I do recommend that you do use a second source (treadmill heart monitor, chest strap, Apple Watch, etc) to verify that you are positioning the Scosche sensor correctly, and that your heart rate numbers are very closely agreeing. ** Update 10-25-2015 ** I did intervals for the first time, pushing my heart rate to 90% and higher. The Rhythm Plus was able to keep up during all my interval running. And I checked my reading with the treadmill HR monitor every few minutes, and again they agreed within 1 to 2 bpm's. This was a critical test because I tend to over-train and burnout, and now I can see (via my training app) how hard I need to push, and when I need to rest, rather than going by how hard I "felt" I was working. I also found this out while doing intervals: when your bpm goes to 160 bpm or higher, the light on the sensor changes from blinking violet to blinking red, giving a visual indication that you're above the "target" heart zone. Very clever. Since I was running and pumping my arms quickly, I had to make sure that the band was a little bit tighter so that it wouldn't loosen up when my arm was flailing. The band being tight (not too tight mind you) didn't affect my circulation, and helped the sensor give readings that were consistent with my treadmill's heart rate monitor.
Review: Medically accurate, the best heart rate monitor - This device is much more accurate than any other heart rate monitor on the market, to even include blood pressure cuffs and pulse ox monitors at the hospital. There are many other types of monitors, they typically take your pulse rate at your wrist or fingertips but this spot is nowhere as accurate as this device on your forearm. I don't know why or how, but it just is. Also, if you do not have a normal sinus rhythm then those other devices quicky become confused and give erroneous readings. I had to go to the cardiologist for a stress test with the O2 mask and 12 lead EKG. I asked the cardiologist and tech if I could wear this device and compare it to the pulse rate displayed by the ekg and other monitors. They were ok with it and very interested in how it would do. After 20 minutes it crushed this little test. It was spot on for my resting heart rate, max heart rate and only slightly lagged the EKG by a second or two. This is phenomenal and it is hard to relay how wonderful this is, as every other device I've used (to include fitbit and chest heart rate monitors) were unable to accurately measure my heartrate as it changed under different levels of cardiac stress. They did ok for my resting heart rate but could not give accurate and/or instantaneous readings of my actual heart rate while working out. The doctor was blown away, he stated that he had never seen a device on the market as accurate as the scosche, let alone a heart rate monitor that could accurately give instantaneous readings of people with arrhythmia's. I've been an athlete my entire life. I did crew and soccer in high school and college. I've done marathons, triathlons, 100 mile rides...etc. I've tried countless heartrate monitors, polar, suunto, Fitbit...etc and none could come close to me measuring my carotid pulse for 6 sec and multiplying by 10. (Or an entire minute) This device delivers, it's simple and accurate. It doesn't slide down like chest straps do when you do long runs, I don't have to apply any gel to leads. It just works and I know it's as accurate as a 12 lead EKG. It may not tell me that I have a t-wave abnormality or preventricular contraction but it continuously and accurately gives my pulse rate. The battery lasts about 5-7 one-hour workouts. After that, the pulse rate isn't as accurate. I know what a pulse rate of 140 feels like for me, so when my watch or phone displays a pulse rate of 90, I check my pulse and realize the device is not relaying correct data and I need to charge it. Once it's charged, it's good to go again. It syncs to most devices quickly as it uses standard ANT+ and Bluetooth. Bottom line-this works so well it surprised my cardiologist and I trust it with my life. I actually wouldn't workout without it anymore.

**Q: Is the Rhythm+ 2.0 heart rate monitor waterproof?**
A: The Scosche Rhythm+ 2.0 heart rate monitor has an IP68 waterproof rating for sweat, rain, and accidental water exposure, but it’s not intended for swim workouts. For best results, use it for running, gym workouts, and high-intensity training.

**Q: How does Rhythm+ 2.0 measure HRV and RRi data, and how do I use it?**
A: Rhythm+ 2.0 tracks the subtle timing changes between heartbeats (RRi) to reveal HRV trends tied to stress and recovery. Stream RRi data to Morpheus Training, Elite HRV, or Welltory to spot patterns and guide when to push harder or prioritize rest.

**Q: What apps and training platforms are compatible?**
A: It pairs via Bluetooth or ANT+ with many popular apps and platforms, including STRAVA, Zwift, Technogym, Heart Zones Training, Elite HRV, HRV4Training, and Welltory; and connects with compatible devices like Garmin, Wahoo, Hammerhead, and Peloton.

**Q: Will tattoos or skin tone affect heart rate accuracy?**
A: Optical sensors can be affected by tattoos, heavy hair, motion, or placement. For best accuracy, wear the armband snug on the forearm, bicep, or tricep, avoid loose fit, and slightly reposition the band if readings seem inconsistent.

**Q: Why isn’t the Rhythm+ 2.0 pairing with my app or device?**
A: Make sure Bluetooth (or ANT+) is turned on and Rhythm+ 2.0 is in pairing mode. If it still won’t connect, close and reopen the app, turn Bluetooth off and back on, and try pairing again. If another device is connected, disconnect it first.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just Buy It!
*by T***W on August 29, 2015*

I've always hated chest strap HRMs, so I've been looking for something I can wear on my wrist or arm. I've been a Fitbit fan since its first days, so I thought I'd pick up a Charge HR in addition to the Charge I already wear daily. Unfortunately no matter how I adjusted it, I couldn't get a reliable HR signal. I'd bought the small (fits my wrist just fine), but doesn't have enough length for me to wear it much higher on my arm. I also discovered it doesn't work all that well with my Samsung Galaxy S5. So I returned the Charge HR, continued my research and happened upon the Scosche Rhythm Plus. This thing is fantastic! It works great with Sports Tracker Pro (my fitness app of choice) through Bluetooth. The app (and my phone) have Ant+ too, but I haven't been able to get the Scosche to keep a connection after I leave the settings page on the STP app. It's either user error or something with the app, I'm sure, so I'll figure it out eventually. In the meantime, it maintains a solid connection with Bluetooth and seems very accurate. I can still use my bluetooth headset as long as I connect it prior to launching STP and connecting the Rhythm Plus. I've been using it for good form fast walking but intend to use it while biking and working out on the Total Gym too. It's important for me to wear a HRM not only for motivation, but to keep me from overdoing and injuring myself, as I have lung disease. This is a GREAT, comfortable HR monitor! Update Nov. 8, 2015: A couple weeks ago I noticed a hairline crack on the sensor side of the Rhythm+. I'd never dropped the unit or otherwise abused it, so I assume it was a stress crack. I emailed Scosche support, and I got an almost immediate response with an RMA request form attached. I shipped my Rhythm+ the next day, and about a week later, the replacement was in my mailbox. The replacement's working great, and I'm hoping it lasts longer than the original.
