Heart Rate Monitor Recommendation?

Post by zootMutant »

My trusty Suunto T6C died after many years of faithful service and I'm having a hard time finding a replacement. Maybe I'm just too picky. Old too old. :wink:

Here's what I'm looking for:

1. A display that I can wear on my wrist, with
2. Current heart rate

Bonus points for:

1. Time within different training zones
2. Training Effect
3. PC-based software that can show HR over time

What I do *not* want:

1. An 'app' for a cell phone
2. Web-based software
3. Requirement that I create a account in order to 'activate' my purchase
4. Internet-enabled device
5. A subscription service

Does anybody make these anymore? :P

Zoot, I use an AP so can't help, but great to hear from you again, so what training have you been upto and what are your plans / objectives?

Hi Zoot, hope all well and I'd also be interested to read how you're getting on.

I'm afraid all the devices I've ever used fall foul or either needing a smart phone, and account and/or a subscription.....

Is this for rowing specifically or wider fitness use?

Before the T6C died, how did you get the data off it?

In theory I could use my Wahoo Tickr to directly connect to my Garmin wath. That would give you the data that you seem to want, but it's an expensive solution - you would basically be paying for all of the features you explicitly don't want #-o
