    those 2 special offers from argos don't have a chest strap, you have to touch the metal contacts on the watch / strap to measure your current pulse... so you pretty much have to stop what you're doing position your fingers in the right place and wait for a result...

    if using it in the gym, i'd go for one with a chest transmitter strap as you get ongoing feedback as you workout... you may also be able to get the reading picked up on compatible gym cardio machines too for display on screen...

    sorry, thought they took the pulse from your wrist.
