Help with choosing a HR monitor

[AndreDeV]

I bought a Polar H7 HR strap (+-R900) and use it with my Samsung S5 phone. I use Strava and PolarBeat and I get all the info I need. You can use other Apps as well. (I also still use my normal speedometer while riding.)

That. Without a doubt. At that price you won't find anything close. Just check the condition before buying.

So my 15 yr old polar seems to be giving a death rattle. The last few gym sessions it stops monitoring / tells me my HR is 222 or just stops. New battery few weeks ago so I am putting it down to old age.

 

I have a garmin fenix for riding but don't like using it at gym - too big.  What reliable, simple HR monitor can I get. I like the look of those wrist band like watches that don't need a chest strap. 

 

Someone said that you can get some units via Discovery?

Hello Bertus, 

 

The TICKR is compatible with Bluetooth 4.0 devices on Android and iOS, and ANT+ watches simultaneously.

Used it for the second time now. What happens if you go past 80%

Look for a 2nd hand EDGE 500 or try to stretch to a Sigma ROX10, you wont be sorry. With the new EDGE520 coming out there should be a fair whack of 500s shortly.

Hi Christian, not quite the info I'm looking for, I know what it can do, but I want to know what users think of it, like below:

Thanks, would like to find out in a month's time if you're still happy. I need to replace my HR strap with something more consistent, and this is at the top of the list.
