The Best Heart rate monitor

The normal resting heart rate for adults over the age of 10 years, including older adults, is between 60 and 100 beats per minute (bpm). Highly trained athletes may have a resting heart rate below 60 bpm, sometimes reaching 40 bpm. The resting heart rate can vary within this normal range. The Charge 3 also monitors heart rate continuously to assess your current state of fitness through resting heart rate readings. You can train in heart rate zones, receive heart rate alerts, and broadcast heart rate data over ANT+ with paired devices.

• It also sports a new buckle mechanism and silicon dots that will help keep it in place when you’re working out.
• Polar still regards its H10 chest strap as the best heart rate solution for serious athletes and is still required to carry out a number of the training-centric tests available on the Vantage V (like the orthostatic test).
• Heart rate monitors worn around the chest are more accurate than wrist-worn trackers, but they can sometimes be a bit more difficult to use (they can slip and slide around).
• Unfortunately you cannot adjust heart rate zones, for anyone planning to rely on it for a HIIT class.
• Not only does it continuously measure your heart rate via pulse points on the wrist, but it also tracks all-day activity (like how many steps you walk and calories you burn), provides feedback on sleep, gives you reminders to move, and even walks you through breathing exercises.
