Hey all -
I need help finding/selecting a device to use for my exercise goals this year.
Some info that will help understand what my needs/wants are:
- I want to monitor my heart rate during exercise; I hike and walk frequently
- I want there to be a display so I can see the data "live" on the device itself (don't want to have to link it to my phone, or some other equipment)
- I don't care whatsoever about other criteria (don't need it to download to a computer; don't need it to track other bio things like oxygen saturation, etc)
- I want to keep the costs down; preferably under $100 if possible, but this is flexible if other things like quality of accuracy need priority
- I would prefer it to be worn on wrist or arm; not wanting a chest band
- I don't want/need it to be a "smart" device; I don't want an Apple watch or similar expensive redundant device
