Wrist Band heart rate monitor
hello friends,
What would be a good buy for a wrist band heart rate monitor? I want that it should record my highest heart rate and be accurate. |

Are there any heart rate monitors that don't need a transmitter strapped to my chest? My ideal heart rate monitor would be one that works simply when i strap it to my wrist.

I don't know of any heart rate monitors that don't come with a chest strap. Check Polar's website as they are pretty much the cream of the crop when it comes to making heart rate monitors.

It’s very difficult to buy inaccurate heart rate monitors nowadays. Even the cheapest ones are good in terms of accuracy. As the price increases, so do the number of functions. The very cheap ones give you an updated heart rate every minute. For a couple of bucks more you can get your current heart rate continuously. Personally, I’d buy one that vibrates when you’re outside your target heart rate. The ones that alert you visually are useful only if you constantly look and pay attention. The ones that play sounds to alert you are useful only if it’s not too noisy. Also, it should record the number of calories burned during an exercise. Monitors without a chest strap can be very inaccurate. The best brands out there are Polar and Omega.
