Heart rate monitors are essential tools in clinical assessment, fitness testing, and therapeutic applications related to cardiac function. These devices are also used for exercise prescription and intensity monitoring, making them a core component of modern training programs.
There are several types of devices and electrical technologies used to measure or modulate heart rate (HR), such as dedicated heart rate monitors and wearable technologies like chest straps or smartwatches. For accurate measurement, these devices must fit snugly and maintain direct contact with the skin, following the manufacturer’s positioning guidelines. Some monitors use chest straps with electrodes, which are generally more accurate than devices relying on blood opacity at the earlobe or fingertip. Light-based technology (Photoplethysmography – PPG) is integrated into modern wearable devices, monitoring pulsatile blood flow at sites such as the nail bed or wrist, and converting this data into precise heart rate readings.
Myzone devices are available in several main models, each designed to meet different needs in heart rate monitoring and performance tracking.
Here is an overview of the main devices:
The latest device from Myzone, highly versatile, can be worn on the wrist, arm, or chest. It features dual measurement technology: ECG when worn on the chest, and PPG when worn on the wrist or arm. It also includes built-in memory, is waterproof up to 10 meters, and has a battery life of up to 6 months.
A traditional chest strap with built-in memory storing up to 16 hours of data. Connects via Bluetooth 4.0 and ANT+, making it ideal for phone-connected workouts or cardio equipment.
The first device from Myzone, designed specifically for gym users. Works via Bluetooth 4.0 to connect to your phone or gym screens. Does not have water resistance, so it is not recommended for swimming.
Not a physical device, but a feature that allows smartwatch users (Apple and Android) to access the Myzone ecosystem without an additional device. Users can track heart rate, calories burned, participate in challenges, and display data on gym screens.
Among these, the Myzone MZ-Switch stands out as one of the most advanced and accurate heart rate monitoring systems. It relies on two sophisticated measurement technologies:
Thanks to these features, the Myzone MZ-Switch is an ideal choice for athletes, trainers, and anyone who wants precise heart rate tracking. Whether training in the gym or outdoors, it provides a smart, easy-to-use experience that combines science and technology.
