I’ve had a prototype/beta/something unit in my hands for about 72 hours, barely enough time for a few workouts squeezed in between the jam-packed CES schedule. So keep that in mind for any purchasing decisions.Īlso note, that this isn’t a review. Note that while this unit is being announced today (and you can also place pre-orders now), it won’t be shipping till later this spring (late April). The battery life was a downer, at only 6-10 hours depending on how old your unit was, and it lacked some of the newer functions found in other optical HR sensors – like storage.Īll of which Scosche aims to change with the new Rhythm24. But it was also getting a bit long in the tooth. It’s the optical HR sensor band that you can put up against virtually anything and come away winning the accuracy war every time. No doubt, the original Scosche Rhythm+ has been mind-bogglingly popular because of its incredible accuracy, as well as being cross-platform with dual ANT+/Bluetooth Smart. They’ve jammed NFC in there, onboard memory, cycling cadence, swimming support, tripled the battery, and much more. Because almost everything they’ve added is about things beyond the optical HR sensor. I initially thought of just titling this post “Scosche’s New Rhythm24 Optical HR Band”, but in reality, that doesn’t begin to capture what they’re doing with the new Rhythm24.
