Hi.
Im after a wrist worn heart rate monitor, But cannot seem to find one anywhere.
Unless it has a strap which goes around your chest.
Is there anything available which solely goes around your wrist (like a watch).
It doesnt need to have any fancy features like pedometer/ cals etc.
any help appreciated.

...Thanks Brett
Most of them require a chest strap to work.
Or you need to hold a finger on it to show heart rate.
I want one you wear on your wrist.
look at it to see you heart rate.
Carry on with what your doing.

Ah, I stand corrected Didn't realise you had to have a strap or do the finger thing on these, assumed they worked straight up.

Same, I thought they used the pulse from the wrist

I looked for ages for what you're looking for. TBH I don't think one exists. I've had the finger tip watch one which wasn't to bad but chest strap ones are spot on.
Can I ask why you don't a normal chest strap kind?

Have a look on Polars website, we sell them through work so I am sure I can sort something out
