Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

If you really what to use the watch sensor, you can try to have a tennis wristband in front of the watch so it sits in place a bit better.
I use that when I run even though I use a hr strap, because the fenix x is kind of a unit and will move a bit otherwise :)

I think it's fine for outside activities, unreliable in activities. If I am going to use it, I use a velcro strap to get the best adjustment. I did yesterday and it was fine most of the time, occasionally heading up about 20bpm faster than reality for a bit, and probably more comfortable than wearing an arm or chest strap would have been.

(This amazon.co.uk or the Garmin genuine article, not sure if you can get them in smaller sizes)

Badger what do you mean good outdoors but not indoors? Can't see how indoors specifically would make a difference?

Björn Borg wore sweatbands, IIRC, but there again that was before GPS was invented.
