Best Heart Rate Monitor

briteyes1002

Hey all.

My Garmin Heart rate monitor recently broke and I was looking to purchase a new one. Mine was a little outdated. I do have an iphone and know that there are several HRM that you can connect your iphone with. What is everyone else using?

Hey! I‘m using a Polar FT7 HRM and I really lovet it, such a neat device. Some feature that I use: displays HR in a number or you can set it to percentage. Upper pulse limit also can be set, calculates the fitness/fat burning and calories burned based on your pulse, age, height etc...stores 99 training file.

Does that have a wrist monitor with it? Or does it connect to your phone app?

I have this. I like it, you wear a wristband. DH has a fitbit HR charge. He likes that a lot, too.

Do you mean the HR strap associated with your Garmin GPS or the whole device?

Are you looking to replace the GPS type functionality as well?
