Does all watches with heart rate monitor need a body strap to sense heart rate?
I wanted to buy a watch with a heart rate monitor but i dont want to have to put on a strap around my body. Couldnt it just sense the heart rate around the wrist?
If there are any watches which dont need straps, are they much more expensive?
Thanks
There are some things that allow you to place your finger on a monitor, for example, but they’re not as accurate nor do they usually provide nonstop readings.
The chest strap is pretty much the only consistent and reliable way to do it. If you get a decent one, you do generally adapt to them more readily than you might think.
Things like the Reebok monitor generally require you come to a standstill and hold a button for several seconds to get a reading. That might be okay if you’re wearing it primarily as a watch and sitting on the couch, but if you’re out running or something comparable it’s not really helpful.
