I am thinking of finally succumbing and getting a HRM. SO which would you recommend for a woman, who has to wear industrial strength underwired bras while exercising?

I have had problems with the chest strap sitting in the same place as my bra strap, and both those things are non-negotiable, they have to go where they go!

    I have big boobs and have found this one is great. I put the strap right under the boobs then the bra isnt affected.

    Its about £27 with p&p and has loads of functions.

    I've used a polar FT4 for a while. I just put the band right below my bra strap, everything stays where it should and it works fine. Not with the strap on top of it

    I didn't have to sign but I think it depends what delivery option you choose, a courier will want one though if you choose next day. I chose the super saver free delivery.

    I tried my husband's polar and it had trouble picking up my heart beat as my bra strap seems to be in the way. I finally got it to measure by sticking the sensor under the strap, but that was really uncomfortable, I couldn't run like that.
