Why do you need to monitor your hear rate unless you have a serious heart condition? There aren't any real benefits to things like the "fat burning" zone.dhruv_shah wrote: »Guys, I'm tired of using various bands.

If fitness is your goal, you work out within the range that you need to to complete whatever workout you're doing. To get better, you do the same distance in a shorter time.

Assuming you are using HR for training, check out one of the recent Garmin watches (like the 235). The HR won't be as accurate as a chest strap but it is good enough for most folks. Personally I don't mess with wrist based monitors - I always use a strap.1

Mio Fuse, or probably any Garmin.0

Can't speak for the OP, but it's easy to get a little too spirited on what's supposed to be a recovery or Z2 ride. I used to have a high HR alert for this reason - to help me remember the goal of a training session when I start to forget. (Now I do the same thing by power instead.)1 -
My Garmin does.0

Pretty sure my chest strap enabled garmin allows me to set up target bands and vibrate when I'm in or out.0

I have a polar FT7 with the chest strap and when your heart rate gets to high the watch part of it vibrates and beeps at you.0

Have you used any? I haven't found any device description on internet which says that it vibrates while running if crosses HR limit.NorthCascades wrote: »Mio Fuse, or probably any Garmin.

Guys guys, my question is very clear. WRIST BAND which vibrates. Not with combination of cheat wrap.
I have Garmin forerunner with chest wrap. I am looking for normal JUST wrist band which sense and also vibrate without phone.
No ONE???0 -

Yes. My Garmin Forerunner 630 vibrates. I used it a couple times (it annoyed the hell out of me so I stopped using it for HR alerts). The 235 is similar (minus the touch screen) but has a HR built in. So does the 735 and the 935.0 -

I already answered previously and I repeated it tonight. Perhaps you missed it.
Which Forerunner do you have?0 -
Yes! I use the Garmin Vivosmart HR+. It constantly tracks HR on the wrist. You can set custom heart rate zones including your own maximum, and it will notify you when you get in to different zones/exceed your maximum HR.
Not sure why Chrome thinks this link isn't legit, because it is. Straight from Garmin's user manual: https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/vivosmarthr/EN-US/GUID-FA3BE45C-9E7B-49EE-BC71-EDAEB9C2EBF9.html0 -

Again, Mio Fuse.0 -
The Garmin Vivosmart HR+ does this. If you look back in your other thread on this topic I posted a reply with some more information0

Again, why doesn't this matter? The whole "fit zone" thing? It's NOT a real thing if that's what you're shooting for.

All the FR x3x watches do. They'll beep or vibrate based on pace or hr. The 735 and 935 will with power too0

I'm sure there are such things. My running app could alarm me if my HR gets too high. But it's something I ignore. I would ignore the whole HR thing and go by how well you are able to talk when doing any activity if there's no real health reason for it. Besides, if you practive longer you'll be able to do the same exercise at a lower heartrate. If running, for example:
slow run: you can speak in coherent sentences
fast run: speaking? groaning more likely.
inbetween: inbetween.
My pace control for running is my breathing pattern, really.
slow run: 3 steps in/3 steps out
fast run: 2/2
intermediate 2/3
If I'm not in the right shape/mood on a day I notice that the step pattern for a given pace doesn't work and I slow down. On other days I might be able to run faster in the same rhythm and have no problems at all.0 -
I'm pretty sure my Garmin 225 can be set do to that0

There are other reasons why people use heart rate that have nothing to do with burning fat. One reason is as a measure of intensity. A runner might use it to gauge whether they can increase the pace and still be capable of finishing the distance.0 -

This must be the thread for asking questions that have already been answered in the thread.2 -
Any of the garmins containing optical hr do this: forerunner 235, vivoactive hr, new vivosmart hr+, fenix series. If you want more info on a specific model check out a guy called DC Rainmaker, he has some nice in depth reviews where he explains stuff like this for the different models. I think polar is starting to have some optical hr models too now, but they are still pretty loyal to the chest strap concept due to better accuracy. Fitbit surge may do this as well, not sure what its warning capabilities are. Imo garmin does better with running workout stats since thats been their nich for so long. Fitbit got its start in basic activity tracking so for more athletic people most of their devices dont provide the training info desired.0

Because you can train using your heart rate. For me (a runner), I know many things about my heart rate that helps me with my training. I know my VO2max and I know my Lactate Threshold. I know my min and max heart rate. Knowing this allows me to train in zones. Zone 2 would equate to an LSR (long slow run). This is very important for developing stamina. Zone 3 would be a tempo run.
Just because there little validity to fat burning zones does not mean that training with zones is not important. It is not the only method for training but it is legit.3 -
Now that we've answered which devices twice and why zones are important twice, I figure I'll repeat my this as well. Wrist based HRM's are a crapshoot. Some folks have some success with them while others do not. The size of your wrist, how and where you wear it, and the manufacturer of the device is very important. I don't bother and just wear my strap (Garmin HRM-Run 2).1

I prefer a chest strap for running, cycling, and skiing, too, like @dewd2. I get very different results from a chest strap to the wrist sensor in my Garmin.0
