Bluetooth Heart-Rate Monitor Recommendation

Postby C.R.MacDonald » Sun May 17, 2020 10:34 am

Hi Jeff!

You're pretty savvy about fitness equipment... just wondering if you can recommend any Bluetooth Heart-Rate Monitors available.

Price is not an issue, I just want to make sure it's accurate.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Chest strap or wrist based?

Either (or both!). I'm really not that familiar with them and would like to incorporate them into my workouts. If there are accurate wrist AND chest heart-rate monitors out there, I could definitely see myself getting one of each to use for different workouts.

Thanks!

Thank you very much, Jeff!

I have just ordered the Polar H10 bluetooth heart-rate monitor (chest strap) based on your recommendations. The quality and accuracy of the Polar brand models definitely justified the decision. I truly appreciate the help!

Kind regards,
