Re: Unpopular Query - HRM/Activity Trackers

What's next? Brain monitor for pain level readings? Are there any good breathing monitoring devices? I don't have anything around my neck yet... LOL!!! It’ll take longer to get all the kit on than to do the row!!! I wonder if anyone has checked the impact of all these Bluetooth waves flying around ...

Re: Unpopular Query - HRM/Activity Trackers

Thanks for looking/posting. One thing that I’m not is a slave to the data… I did a comparator of the PVS and garmin HRM data purely to check whether either was better - outcome they were the same. For me the garmin does what I need (ie. Send HR data to the PM5) and I can use ErgData to setup workout...

Unpopular Query - HRM/Activity Trackers

Apologies in advance for asking an unpopular question (and prepared for a roasting!)... I've been erg'ing for a bit now with a Polar Verity Sense arm based HRM that I wear at the elbow end of my forearm.
