I currently use a Garmin 910xt to track my swimming.biking/running paired with Garmin chest strap heartrate monitor. Although I feel th eheart rate monitir works and is accurate I don't like the strap around my chest.
Are there any decent wrist (or other?) worn heart rate monitors with good calorie expendature calculations that anyone reccomends?
I want this primarility for calorie expendatures while doing weights, crossfit, and other cardio workouts where the Garmin GPS doesn't need to record my distance/speed...

Bump! I'm curious to know too. Are heart rate monitor watches as accurate as those with a chest strap? I assume it works by measuring the pulse in the wrist?0
