I'm looking for a heart rate monitor that I can wear while doing some exercises. Nothing fancy like those smart watches that monitor one's whole life.
Something simple that gives me a reliable measure while doing my exercises. Much better if I can change the batteries myself. Appreciate advices. |

I've had a few over the years. Lots of promises and gimmicks. Like the newer ones that don't need a chest strap. Well, IMO most of those aren't very accurate or timely.
The lower priced Garmin with the chest strap seemed to be the one I could count on to actually monitor my heart rate and recognize when it was elevated due to a set at the gym or running or what ever. I won't buy another fancy one. |

Thanks! I'll take a look at these models.
I have been using Samsung's S Health app to track my exercises and diet. Already started making a difference on the diet and managed to cut a few pounds on my weight, even though that's still a ling journey. I saw Samsung and other brands sell a Bluetooth chest band that links to the app and passes the heartbeats directly to it. Any experience with that kind of rig? |
