I have seen many heart rate monitoring watches before and one thing they tend to have in common is that they look like a kid's watch from the 1980's. Sportline has introduced a new line of heart rate watches that offer heart rate monitoring in a more attractive package.

The TQR series features eight different watches for men and women. The watches have an analog design, but show heart rate in digital numbers on the watch face. The watches promise to deliver ECG accurate heart rate in three beats or less without needing chest straps or belts. Pricing for the watches ranges from $159.99 to $59.99.

“Heart rate monitoring has always been thought of as extremely important though typically only during exercise,” said Dan Kinsbourne, vice president of marketing for Sportline. “But awareness of one's own fitness level is the key to staying committed to a lifestyle of health. Know your heart rate every day, everywhere is the fundamental message behind the TQR Series, and we look forward to introducing the full line of watches that have been engineered to deliver on that goal.”
