Anyone know of a good heart rate monitor to use that doesn't require you to strap a monitor to your chest? Those are so uncomfortable and I don't like them. Are there better alternatives?

    cant help you with a strapless version. From what i understand, the only way to get the strapless kind to take a reading is you have to touch it with your fingers. I would forget to do that and would not have an accurate measurement.

    I have the Polar FT60. Love it. The bank is a elastic material so once its on, i dont even notice it. I have left it on all day on accident many times and only realized it was still on when I finally got time to take a shower. Its fabric all the way around so no hard plastic on the front where the sensors. You might want to try one again.

    I like knowing that my HRM accurately measures my heart rate for the entire time I am working out. I am sure I would forget to touch the strapless kind.
