As a HRM that does not have a watch? Even better is waterproof as well?

    my HRM does have a watch, and is waterproof. the watch is the way I can start/stop it and see my information!

    I can wear it a bit high on my wrist/arm so that I can still bend my wrist to do pushups and the like without pinching my hand on the watch. I use a Polar FT7.

    The wrist part of the polar doesn't have to be worn on the wrist, it can be put in your pocket, or around your bra-strap under your shirt -- which is what I do with mine when it gets in my way.

    oh right, true! as long as it is within 'signal range' of your chest strap, you can put it ... wherever the heck you want :)

    I could TRY to put it in/under my bra, but i basically need it to not show, as you aren't allowed to wear any jewellery or other adornements

    Does your skirt have a pocket? You don't have to be wearing it as long as its in range of the chest strap. You could even loop it around the chest strap under the back of your bra, turning it on and off to get an accurate calorie count could be an issue though!

    No pocket, can't have it sticking out anywhere, the only option is to have something small in my bra, or a chest strap that has the computer in it. a watch isn't going to cut it.. i found something that will do it, for $50, but it needs a strap that transmits at 5.3kHz, i'm not sure what mine is, I will check when I get home

    Thanks for asking as I wanted to wear mine for softball and had the same issues. (no pockets on the shorts) Never thought of stuffing it in my bra.

    I tried to do the watch up around the middle that didn't work... I'll find a way!!

    You can get small shoe pouches for runners that attach onto your laces, they are pretty unobtrusive. Not 100% sure if the signal would carry that far but I don't see why not. Stick the watch in there.

    Remove the band from the watch - leaving the watch face only. Place that inside your bra, between your breasts.
