HRM Replacement

Is anyone aware of an HRM Chest Strap that's designed to sync to a smart phone instead of a watch?
I've been using a Polar HRM for years; typical chest strap/watch combination. But apparently I've recently developed an allergy to latex. And there's latex in the watchband. If I wear it I have an immediate, nasty looking reaction on my wrist that leaves a bright red band of skin for days.
For now I'm keeping the watch in my pocket while I work out. But, it gets bumped and paused and it's frustrating.
Would really appreciate some input if anyone is aware of such a product.

They absolutely exist. I am also interested in opinions regarding which brands are worth the money.0

I clip my watch onto my bra/ workout shirt strap I have never had an issue with it getting bumped. That's all I got but I hope it helps0
