Heart Rate Watch Company

If you’re serious about buying the best instrument you can find then there’s honestly no better place to turn to than the Heart Rate Watch Company. Rusty is a warehouse of knowledge and unlike commercial establishments (are you listening REI, Best Buy and Sports Authority) he knows his products inside and out.
Like many consumers, I immediately ventured off to REI when I decided to purchase a high end sports watch. I figured that they could help me choose the best possible device for my needs (skiing, MTB, hiking, trekking, etc.) but was horrified to discover that I actually knew more about these devices than the clerk who is supposed to be an expert. The results were even worse when I ventured into other retail establishments so I decided that there surely had to be a better option and turned to the web. Thankfully, I discovered the HRWC site and found all the praise that Rusty’s clients had rightfully heaped upon him.
Between his domain expertise, the great pricing and all the support he offers — there honestly isn’t a better option out there. I spent 45 minutes getting every question I could possibly think or answered and even learned some things I hadn’t thought to ask. And even better, Rusty was kind enough to expedite delivery of my Suunto Ampit2 so that I can use it this coming weekend.
As the prior customer correctly said … «WOOHOO AS GOOD AS IT GETS» is right on the money!

Rusty and the Heart Rate Watch Company are, as the 5-​star description says, very much «as good as it gets!» Woo hoo!!!
Anyone who has ever tried to enter the SF athletic scene can probably empathize with the incredible high school type jockeying there is in getting involved with fitness and tracking health metrics. (This is coming from a girl who bought an iPod nano solely for the pedometer…) I even have good friends who I’ve tried to get advice on fitness watches on and I generally still leave those conversations bewildered and confused.
After reading about 40 amazon, magazine, and blog reviews, I finally called the number on the website since I found that the Heart Rate Watch Company really had the best information on the internetz. Rusty calmly walked me through all the watches which would be the best fit for me without overwhelming me or pushing me to buy anything too crazy. It seems like he pretty much tests all the watches himself in addition to getting feedback from sponsored athletes and colleagues. In a world of too much and yet not enough information, Heart Rate Watch Company was an oasis amongst the chaos of limited fitness watch information. On top of that, his prices were incredibly reasonable and he even threw in some additional literature for me on fitness and using heart rate monitors to read which was a great surprise (especially for a n00b like me…)
I’ve only met one other business owner as awesome as this one, and that would be the bf. There’s the saying that everyone knows but few people live by «Do what you love» based on the belief that loving a job will push you to learn as much as possible and push your knowledge to become a quick expert in your field, and Rusty truly epitomizes this sentiment. I will recommend this place again and again. Thank you!!!

I purchased my Timex Ironman Global Trainer Watch from a store in SF. I was über excited! My box, peripherals, etc. went missing. Seeing that I was stuck with a watch that had no charge, I figured I would purchase new peripherals– Unfortunately, the store had no perpherals/​chargers available. What now? In comes HEART RATE WATCH COMPANY to save the day. Russ listened to my situation, contacted Timex, acquired replacement peripherals and only charged me $ 8 shipping. What a guy! In a world where customer service is a chapter in history books, Russ went above and beyond the level of expectation.
