Hi Friends! I am currently in the market for a new heart rate monitor and am 'considering' an all in one gadget. Currently I use a Polar FT7 during my workout and I wear a fitbit one all day. The #1 component I want in a watch(if I chose an all in one) is that I can separate my workout from the rest of my day. I want to be able to see the intensity and calories burned DURING a workout.
I've narrowed it down to the Polar M400(top left), the Garmin Vivosmart3(Top right), Fitbit Blaze(bottom left) and the Polar a360(bottom right)

Please feel free to share your thoughts, experiences, suggestions, pros and cons, etc. or if you have suggestions for other devices, those are welcome too!

Thanks you!!

    I currently have a TomTom Spark 3. Prior to that had a Garmin Forerunner. I love my current watch and compared to my Forerunner it is fantastic....all but the heart rate monitor. It is located on the watch and uses the pulse at the wrist. When I weight train this is a major issue. My heart rate bottoms out during heavy lifts and I can't get an accurate read. My Garmin had a chest strap and never did that. Unfortunately, a defect left it dead after a battery change so I can't use it anymore and the chest strap cannot be linked to the TomTom.

    For all of what you mentioned above, any TomTom would be great. I get to see all and more and can track steps and other things if I want, though I don't. Good luck in finding a watch that works for you!
