Comfortable and accurate
I've tried 3 different watches with pulse monitors on them and they are great at measuring HR when at rest, but are all completely useless whenever it gets to exercising hard. I hike up big hills hard and quickly work up a sweat, which no doubt doesn't help either. I've never really liked the idea of a chest monitor as it's so visually obvious (I never wear a shirt), and I would imagine very quickly get sodden in sweat. When I saw this, I was intrigued - this looks to be the best of both worlds, but would it be just another LED waste of money?
Very pleasantly surprised to find it seemed to be spot on. I've been wearing it on my inner forearm - up nearer the elbow end. Very comfortable and stays put. The flashing green light is pretty bright in the dark, but I kind of like the reassurance that it is recording when you're going hard. Can't compare it to a chest monitor (I don't have one), but my experience seems to back up the great reviews I've read. I've always pushed my body to the limit when going and the consistant red zone readings right at my max HR and a little bit over back up my gut feeling all this time. HR varies up and down consistantly with an increase/decrease in exercise and is not affected by my cadence at all (like the wrist based ones seem to do a lot). Love the app and have now just ordered a Polar watch to go with it (not needed with this, but will be fun to watch my HR as I'm going rather than just looking at the (very awesome) readings after. Very impressed, and highly recommended!
