Heart Rate Tracker

[bertiesugar]

Now I am getting into my running I want to get a heart rate tracker. Any recomendations from anyone

If it’s a chest strap youre after, Polar are the most accurate I believe. If a watch, then Polar or Garmin.

I’ve got a polar but I don’t use it My husband thought it was a running watch so bought it for me Not into heart rate stuff myself. if it’s thumping I’m happy

The watch seems good though in the times I’ve used it and they have a polar website for all your stats The only time I’ve used it is for exercise at home to dvds. the battery in the heart rate strap seems to last forever.

Stick it on ebay! I'm happy with the tracker in my Garmin, even if chest strap are more accurate.

I think the chest strap is why I can’t be arsed with it 🙂

[Hidden in reply to misswobble]

I cant imagine they would be comfortable to run in. More use when swimming because most wrist heart trackers don't work under water (my Polar watch did).

Suunto are more reliable than Garmin. But all of them are much of a muchness in accuracy terms, even the cheapo ones from Lidl/Aldi

[Hidden in reply to Rignold]

You can getchest straps from Lidl and Aldi?

[Rignold in reply to Hidden]

yes, when they have their fitness week promotions.

[Hidden in reply to Rignold]

Wow! Im amazed!

[Rignold in reply to Hidden]

well, that's running for you: just when you think you know it all, something comes along and astounds you all over again. Every day a school day

[Hidden in reply to Rignold]

When does one get to the stage of thinking one knows it all? Will my Garmin track it?

[Rignold in reply to Hidden]

probably, but then it will lose the data when you try to upload it and poof! gone like the whisps of a dream on the morning pillow

[Hidden in reply to Rignold]

Perhaps I should take a snap with my phone before it evaporates.

[Rignold in reply to Hidden]

post it to Instagram is the only way to make sure it is properly recorded for posterity

[Hidden in reply to Rignold]

Damn, Ive been avoiding instagram - I spend far too much time on social media as it is 😳☹️
