Do you have to wear the watch on a PT4 or PT7?

I'm thinking of getting a HRM, either a PT4 or PT7 but I hate wearing watches, rings or anything similar when working out. As soon as the sweat starts flowing, anything around my arms, hands, fingers just drives me crazy.

So I know you need to wear the chest strap, which shouldn't be a big deal as it will be close to my sports bra, but do you have to wear the watch or can you have it in a pocket or somewhere nearby? I really would like to use this for when I'm playing tennis or on the spin bike, kick class, etc.

Thanks for any help :smile:

    You don't actually have to wear the watch, you can just put it in your pocket. I believe the furthest away from the strap it can be and still read is 3 feet.

    Thanks! That helps make my decision a bit easier.
