If anyone is thinking of an upgrade I have a Fenix 5 for sale.

I got a 6 solar for my 50th birthday.

Just so people know, the arm thingy works incredibly well. So much better than the OHRs on F5X+ & 945 that we're now fighting over it.

If anyone sees any deals on the Polar OH1 (or other HR armbands) please post.

I think I'd get one at around £40, which is what the full chest strap used to cost and you had to replace the band every so often once data became erratic.

Flanker /Gobi I’m thinking of getting an arm thingy too as my Garmin too erratic and chest strap too big.

Gobi does your other half find it better and did she have issues before going for it? I never get reliable results.

LoobyLoo - she finds it spot on, we went that way as she has "boobs" so HRM strap was not sitting well
