Heart Rate Monitors

JessicaT2007

Hey everyone,

I am looking for a good heart rate monitor to wear while working out and through out the day. First, is it better to to this with a watch or one that I can wear around my arm?

Second, do you guys (And by guys I mean girls and boys. :bigsmile: ) recommend any brands/styles? I am making a list for christmas for the in-laws and I want to be specific.

Thanks for any help:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

If you use the Search feature above, you'll find many threads on this. I love my Polar HRM. Get one with a chest strap. It's not uncomfortable and much more accurate. Good luck!

I would suggest one with a chest strap, they say they're the most reliable. Polars are probably the most popular. I have a Timex Unisex HRM. It works great, I love it.

I have a nikey Imara. I love mine too, although I found programming it a little clumsy. Maybe I was clumsy...?

Hey Jessica! I love my Polar F6! It works fantastically! The chest strap is comfortable, even when you have to slip it under your bra a little bit. The watch unit isn't bothersome either. It's very easy to use and understand.

Thanks everyone. I have heard of the polars but I will check out those other two brands too!

I love my Polar, do your research on it, look at reviews for which ever brand and model you decide to go with and get a warranty for it!

Whichever ever brand you decide to go with, make sure you get one that the band is codded to the receiver, other wise you may pick up other peoples heart rates and not yours! :-/
