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.
