Strapless heart rate monitor suggestions

mollyjaster

Does anyone have recommendations for a STRAPLESS heart rate monitor - Brand/model? I currently have a Polar watch, but it requires a chest strap. I find it to be uncomfortable and it often quits tracking heart rate mid-run.

I'm getting the FitBit Charge HR that promised to have an accurate heart monitor.

I like my fitbit charge hr so far.

That's what we're getting too.The reviews say it's pretty accurate. I'm super excited.

I've got a TomTom Runner Cardio which I found on Amazon for $249 including shipping and taxes.
HR is accurate but you need to wear it tighter than a regular watch. GPS has been very impressive, it acquires in seconds.
So far, very happy with it.

The alternatives are all wrist mounted, so more sensitive to fit and equally uncomfortable.

Assuming you are female then Victoria's secret do a sports bra with a HR strap built into it. Might be worth a look?

I disagree, i have a mio alpha , yes it does have be on firmly but not so much that its uncomfortable, i often forget to loosen the watch when i have finished ( i normally wear my watch quite loose)

Streets ahead of a chest band for comfort.

I've got a mio link, works, comfortable, but have to remember what each colour lights mean, if I'd had the money at the time I'd have got a mio alpha
