Compatible HR wrist bands with running app (ismoothrun)

yirara

I use ismoothrun and would like to buy a heartrate monitor. It needs to be a sensor that works on the wrist. Now I looked at that app's website and don't understand what is compatible and what isn't. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

Supported sensors

iSmoothRun is the app with the most extensive sensor connectivity

We support ANT+ sensors through the use of the Wahoo Fisica Key or the 4iiii Viiiiva BTSmart HRM or the Wahoo RFLKT+ display

BT Smart (BTLE) HRMs (like Wahoo BlueHR or Runalyzer Blue or Polar H7) for iPhone 4S/5 are supported natively.

Wahoo Blue SC, BT smart cycling speed/cadence sensor is supported.

BT Smart footpods like the Polar Stride Sensor BTSmart are supported

Stages BT smart power meter is supported natively.

Support for KICKR trainer as a Power meter. Full support (ie driving the KICKR based on the workout) will come in the first quarter of 2014

Analog HRMs are supported through the use of the Runalyzer or Masqott keys.

Scosche myTREK and Scosche RHYTHM HRMs are also supported natively.
Scosche Sensors

Have in mind that only one app can have access to the Scosche HRM each time. So if you have connected with the Scosche app, you have to force quit it, in order to connect with iSR.
ANT+ Sensors

ANT+ sensors are supported only through the use of the Wahoo Fisica Key or the 4iiii Viiiiva BTSmart HRM . We support HR sensors, stride sensors and Cycling combo speed/cadence, speed and power sensors.

We don't support the Garmin or Adidas dongle for the simple reason that these companies don't provide an API (software lib) so that 3rd party developers can connect their Apps.

It needs to be a sensor that works on the wrist.

Why?

Most wrist mounted sensors are markedly less accurate.

If you are using a HR monitor to aid your running training, having one that is more accurate and more to the point quick to respond to changes, is kind of the point.

If you want an arm mounted sensor, you're limited to pretty much the Scosche Rhythm and Mio lines for anything resemblying accurate standalone sensors that work with a phone. For these to perform accurately requires wearing them tightly and correctly positioning them.

Anatomy. It doesn't sit comfortable for me. Believe me, I tried during spinning lessons a while ago.
