Heart Monitor???

I bought a heart monitor a couple of years ago. I thought it was just one to wear on my wrist like a watch. When I got it there was a contraption to go around my midsection/ribs. I got used to it, but the metal pieces on it cut into my skin so I stopped wearing it. Now the battery is dying & I'm looking at getting a new one. Looking for recommendations for ones that just fit around the wrist or upper arm. Thanks!

    Won't work as well. Sounds like you had the strap on too tight and what's with the metal pieces? Sounds like a coat of armor! Check out Polar on Amazon.

    Best purchase I've ever made to help me lose weight. It is very comfortable and easy to use. I also bought the male version for my husband. To me the gym is pointless without it.

    It also has a strap for your chest but it's not bad. Try to find on ebay. I got my husbands on there for $90. Or even try drugstore.com. If it's your 1st order, they usually give 20% off with a coupon code. Also...don't dry the strap. They are $20 to replace....I've gone through 4.
