polar hrm question...

mrseelmerfudd

hi, i just got my polar wm21 in the post after winning it on ebay.. anyway, did p90 with it and it works fine... my question really relates to the watch part. when im kickboxing, i wear wraps on my hands and not allowed watches etc on, and the same for my football matches.... do you have to wear the watch when exercising or can it just be near hand somewhere? im thinking more for the kickboxing than the football, as id be all over the place in football, but kickboxing is a much more confined area, so i could have the watch lying next to me somewhere? i can easily wear the transmitter under my kickboxing gear, but im just not sure how to work it when i cant actually wear the watch? any ideas/advice/people in a similar position? just i had a major difference in my cals burned with the hrm and with the mfp estimate this morning.

I've tucked mine in other areas depending on the sport (sports bra, tied inside shorts, etc) and it's worked for me.
