I am 340lb, I am looking into getting a HRM, I have looked at the ones with chest straps, but don't know if they would fit my chest, and larger person got one of these they could recommend? I am in the UK.

    I got the Crivit HRM from lidl on Monday (£15 bargain) and the chest strap is plenty huge & elasticated, can't see it being a problem.

    They're adjustable and stretchy. The sizes go all the way up to xxl which is 60 inches max. They're way more accurate than no strap monitors. I have a polar hrm and the strap is comfortable and they have the xxl. Good luck.

    Polar FT40M XXL. I'm 6'3, large frame was 440 lbs. when I started with the HRM. it fits fine. also chest strap HRMs are always much more accurate than 1 without one.
