I am looking at the Omron HRM-100C that comes with the chest strap.

Anyone know what the width of the chest strap? I'm losing weight but am still fairly large especially around the chest.

I would like to buy this product but worry the chest strap may not fit.

I've decided to order it and see if it fits. At least the strap would motivate me to lose enough weight to fit if it does not

Mine is only like an inch

Sorry. Brain fart there. Width? No I meant length.

I got the product and it fits around fine. Whew. After having dealt with ordering things on the Internet only to find it does not fit me, I was a bit anxious about it.

Forgive my ignorance ..what is the chest strap

Its a strap that holds the transmitter that monitors your heart rate. It communicates with the watch to tell me my heart rate, etc. I have to wear this when I exercise to make sure my heart does not go past 80% of my max heart rate.
