We use the [Wahoo HRM](https://www.amazon.com/Wahoo-TICKR-Monitor-iPhone-Android/dp/B00INQVYZ8) after having terrible luck with the Polar HRM  and Santa brought me a Garmin for Xmas. I’m finally getting a feel for how hard I’m working and what my heart is doing at the same time. Also helps me to remember to breathe deeply in the climb when I’m sucking wind or when I’m exhausted. ","subreddit_name":"bicycling","author":"pdxlxxix"},{"body":"I think a heart rate monitor is the best way to measure calories burned with steady state cardio. It won't work for things like HIIT or weight training or anything. But it should work for something like cycling as long as you are keeping more or less a steady pace. I use [this one](https://www.amazon.com/Wahoo-TICKR-Monitor-iPhone-Android/dp/B00INQVYZ8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1494609676\u0026amp;sr=8-1\u0026amp;keywords=wahoo+chest+strap) and like it for when I go running, but there are a ton of them out there.","subreddit_name":"loseit","author":"raikouri"},{"body":"could look into something like this just for hockey: https://www.amazon.com/Wahoo-TICKR-Monitor-iPhone-Android/dp/B00INQVYZ8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1483932403\u0026amp;sr=8-4\u0026amp;keywords=heart+rate+monitor+bluetooth  \r\n\r\nBluetooth so you may be able to sync it all to google fit or apple fit or something.","subreddit_name":"hockeyplayers","author":"Xavias"},{"body":"It's still fairly removed from the heart. I would try getting a [cheap chest strap](https://www.amazon.com/Wahoo-TICKR-Monitor-iPhone-Android/dp/B00INQVYZ8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1474041794\u0026amp;sr=8-2\u0026amp;keywords=wahoo+tickr) and taking it through there. HRV might tell you more of what you want to know than RHR.","subreddit_name":"Fitness","author":"victrhugochavez"},{"body":"On long bike rides, I found my battery to be near dead on the Watch (mostly due to the heart rate monitor being active). I would usually charge in the car on the way home. \r\n\r\nRecently, I've paired a Bluetooth heart rate monitor to the Watch and found the battery life to be greatly improved. I use the Wahoo Tickr and love it: \r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Wahoo-TICKR-Monitor-iPhone-Android/dp/B00INQVYZ8/","subreddit_name":"AppleWatch","author":"aint_even_like_that"},{"body":"It's a bit more price but [this tracker](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00INQVYZ8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1) is what I have and it does both bluetooth (for phone) and ant+ (if you ever get a bike computer) for $50.  It will be far more accurate than a fitbit and you can map your heart rate to climbs etc.  It will also improve calorie counts.\r\n\r\nMy wife uses a fitbit blaze when we ride and it works fine.  It's not perfect but it's just fine.  The downside to the Blaze is no GPS built in so you have to carry your phone anyway.  The Surge has GPS tracker so no phone needed.  Your heart rate should be reasonably accurate just make sure the band is snug.","subreddit_name":"bicycling","author":"atechnicnate"},{"body":"I really recommend the wahoo tickr\r\n\r\nhttp://www.amazon.com/Wahoo-TICKR-Monitor-iPhone-Android/dp/B00INQVYZ8\r\n\r\nIt works over both bluetooth and ant+, so if you ever want to connect it to your phone or some other device you can. In fact, it can connect to an ant+ device and at least one bluetooth device simultaneously, so if you feel like using your vivofit 2 to display your hr while simultaneously using your phone to record your whole run (hr and gps), well, you can.\r\n\r\nI bought a wahoo and a refurbished vivofit 2 a couple of weeks back, so I can confirm that they connect easily and have so far have played well together.","subreddit_name":"Vivofit","author":"pixel_man"},{"body":"When I started I was at 121 kg/268 lbs, 170 cm/5'7\" ft and I was walking on the treadmill at about 2.6 mph/4 kph. To get my heart rate up, I would incline to about 4. As I got more fit, I would incline to 6 or even up to 8. \r\n\r\nI'm currently weighing 213 lbs/96 kg and I'm inclining to 9 or 10 and walking at 3.1 mph/4.9 kph. For the last month, though, I've been interval training. I run for a minute and take two minutes off. I do intervals for about 30 minutes and walk for another 30. \r\n\r\nAlso, working out is about getting your heart rate up. You don't necessarily have to feel tired or spent after a workout. I use a Tickr Heart Rate monitor (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00INQVYZ8?keywords=tickr\u0026amp;qid=1444238535\u0026amp;ref_=sr_1_1\u0026amp;sr=8-1) paired with my phone to monitor my heart rate. I use that to measure how hard I'm working out.\r\n\r\nUltimately, I think you have to listen to your body and go as hard as your body will let you. As you continue to workout, you'll become more fit and be able to push yourself that much harder.","subreddit_name":"Fitness","author":"fender838383"},{"body":"Not sure if you still want to be able to see your HR on your wrist but it was something I find handy when having to run in a certain HR zone for a training session.\r\n\r\nI previously had a Garmin FR60 with the Garmin Heart Rate strap. As I wanted to capture my HR on Strava I bought the Wahoo Tickr.\r\n\r\n(http://www.amazon.com/Wahoo-TICKR-Monitor-iPhone-Android/dp/B00INQVYZ8/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods\u0026amp;ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1434542224\u0026amp;sr=1-1\u0026amp;keywords=wahoo+tickr)\r\n\r\nThe Wahoo Tickr is still compatible with ANT+ so I can see my Heart Rate on my Garmin watch and then have all the information saved automatically in Strava to review later.\r\n\r\nObviously not as cheap as the Pyle option but I find the extra functionality worth the extra. Saying that if your watch has stopped working completely then it might not be worth it.","subreddit_name":"running","author":"Thiscaincan"},{"body":"Start with a [heart rate monitor](http://www.amazon.com/Wahoo-TICKR-Monitor-iPhone-Android/dp/B00INQVYZ8/) to quantify your workouts.
