    I've had to sync mine, but mine is a couple of years old and not the top of the line. My husband and I both have garmins so sometimes I pick up his HR monitor rather than mine and have to sync it for it to recognize. It's pretty easy and if you don't have your manual, they are available on line. I do know our polar HR monitor doesn't work with our garmins and the garmin HRM is more gym equipment friendly than our polar hrm.

    Also, as Microsoft turns on more sensors (galvanic, etc.) and tweaks their algorithms, it will get closer.

    No, it won't, because heart rate and calorie simply do not correlate, except in very specific circumstances (none of which you are meeting).

    It's like trying to use the RPM of your lawnmower blade to estimate how long it will take to drive your car to the grocery store.

    Fitbit charge hr. No band needed it's all in one, connects to mfp and calculates calories burned via heart rate. I'm in love with it

    Too bad the charge is inaccurate during exercise.

    That seemed to be the most sensible route. Why replace a watch when all you need is a new HRM strap.
