fetcheveryone Jan 2016 6:53pm, 6 Jan 2016 16859 posts	0 fetcheveryone Yeah. Optical = a sensor under the watch that reads the pulse from your wrist.
LazyDaisy Jan 2016 7:37pm, 6 Jan 2016 12896 posts	0 LazyDaisy 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.
Tiggia Jan 2016 8:55pm, 6 Jan 2016 13651 posts	0 Tiggia 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
Red Squirrel Jan 2016 10:58pm, 6 Jan 2016 18922 posts	0 Red Squirrel 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.
