HRM for under £20

1 watcher

HermanBloom Feb 2012 1:21pm, 2 Feb 2012 310 posts	0 HermanBloom I appear to have killed the "how long do HRM's last" thread with my question So will try this instead I have a Garmin, minus a HRM. So was looking to get an inexpensive monitor. Looking on Amazon the Pulse Sonic seems OK: amazon.co.uk but I am sure plenty of people here have tried others. Any advice on a good but not bank account-threatening option?
