Hi there

I was wondering if anybody has a fourth frontier x2 wearable 24 hour ecg monitor for wearing during exercise ? I have a Kardia Mobile device which works well, but I am interested in the fourth frontier as it is a wearable and continuous ecg device, however it is expensive and I’m unsure on if this will be of benefit. Looking for any reviews on this please

Worth a read before you decide link below,

Personally a smartwatch ( Hauwei Band 6 ) works for me which informs me that while sleeping my BPM between 36-42 while resting 48-52 while excersing mild to moderate around 100-130.

BP 118S/78D

A couple of months ago a nurse at Boots the Chemists was concerned about my low BPM so took my BPM reading on different cuff/are/pulse oximeters but all came with similar reading but as I tried to explain my BP is low as I keep fit no Hypotension, after 10 hours with the Paramedics and A&E & Cardiology ward they were excerising their duty of care but come the end accepted my low BPM reading discharge with no treatment/advice/meds, The Consultant informed me that 6/12 lead ECG's & BP readings can vary & be different reading from each arm as any CAD can be on on arm so the difference in readings

As a Cardiac Arrest Survivor with ICD implanted with a diagnosis of Heart Failure looking to increase my Cardiorespitory fitness via VO2Max (presently 36ml/kg) thus the numbers are important but at the age of 68 know what is ahead of me so maybe ask yourself which numbers are important to you as cheaper alternatives are availble although likely to be less accurate than FFx2
