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!

Hi

Asking for hubby... What's the most accurate HRM these days? He's got an old Garmin and is ready for an upgrade :)

Ta!

Personally, I like the optical ones - mine is a TomTom Multisport Cardio. It seems to be pretty good, with the occasional senior moment.

Is that a wrist jobbie?

Yeah. Optical = a sensor under the watch that reads the pulse from your wrist.

I like the one in my new Garmin 225, but I have no idea how accurate it is. The graph it produces looks plausible, at least.

Thanks. He's tempted by the Tomtom... but he also was looking at a v800 Polar. He's wanting to get into HR training - told him to get his arse back on here :)

I've had my Polar T31 for 6-8 years and it's been really good. I expect they don't make that model any more.

Got something to say?
