Hi all,

Appreciate all your help in advance!! I'm planning to get fitbit one...instead of polar loop.

Can you guys recommend any HRM to go with fitbit one?

Is it a good combo between fitbit one and polay H7?

Is there any HRM to wear on my wrist that will be good with fitbit one?

Can I take fitbit one off and use HRM when I work out.

And then log the calories I burn when I work out back to fitbit later?

Please help!

    Since the Fitbit does not sync with a HRM, any brand you choose should be fine.

    I use a Zephyr chest strap which connects to my phone and syncs with several different apps like Runkeeper and iCardio. I love it because it records and stores a great deal of info and feeds my calorie burn into MFP through Runkeeper.

    Yes. You don't even need to take the Fitbit off as long as you note the time you begin and end the workout. Then you can replace that time period with the info from the HRM and overwrite the Fitbit for that time period.

    Since your desire for HRM is good estimate of calorie burn it seems, you need one that uses the VO2max stat, and would be nice if it has a self test for it.

    Digifit with ANT or BT chest strap will work great with smartphone, or the Polar RS300X was cheapest I found with the same ability.

    Nice with Digifit is it can sync to MFP, which can then sync the workout to Fitbit. All automatic.

    Fitbit may allow direct sync in to their system too - but don't do both.
