Scosche has released their new RHYTHM+, an armband heart monitor that optically measures blood flow and movement to monitor heart rate and track calories burned more accurately than a conventional chest strap. The dual mode wireless configuration includes both Bluetooth Smart and ANT+ capabilities, allowing RHYTHM+ to pair with smartphones, sport watches and exercise equipment.

So, heart rate monitors are dime a dozen in the market at this point in time, so if you happen to be a fitness buff and are in the market for a brand new heart rate monitor, perhaps it would be prudent to consider Scosche’s RHYTHM+. The RHYTHM+ happens to be an armband heart monitor which is capable of optically measuring one’s blood flow as well as movement to keep track of one’s heart rate and calories burned in a far more accurate manner compared to a conventional chest strap. Sporting a dual mode wireless configuration that will include both Bluetooth Smart and ANT + capabilities, this would enable RHYTHM+ to pair up with smartphones, sport watches and exercise equipment (within a 100 ft. working range, that is). RHYTHM+ will integrate with virtually any app that supports Bluetooth Smart heart rate data, and among these include Map my Fitness, Runkeeper and Strava.
