Strapless Heart Rate Monitor Recommendations?

BrindaP

I am looking to get a strapless heart rate monitor to help get an accurate calorie count from exercises. What do you all recommend?

No strap = little accuracy. You're better off saving your money and just using MFP's estimates.

Why don't you want a chest strap?

When sweating, it tends to slip quite a bit. If straps are better, I'm certainly not against that. My current one pooped out and it was a strapped one, but if the straps are better then I want to stick with whatever is going to be best.

BodyBugg is an arm strap HRM that can be worn all day. You can also use "trip" settings to determine calories burned during exercise. It is not inexpensive but it said to be accurate.

I have a Polar with the chest strap. I never had it slip on me unless I had the strap too loose.

The bodybug is meant to be good but it's not cheap

I too would love a strapless HRM..........one i could wear all the time

I play golf and think the burns that MFP give me are too high

I have tried to play gold in a chest strap HRM..............but its like playing in a bra !

You'll get used to wearing a bra. I did.
