Hi,
I'm after a bit of advice about getting an appropriate HR monitor that I can use for some cardio/gym stuff, and also to use on my Edge 800 out riding
I like to keep track of my HR and Cals when exercising and have had a Polar F4 for this - unfortunately it's now on its last legs and as it doesn't work with my 800 I'd like to get something that does.
I'm just wondering if I was just to get a Garmin HR strap would I need to get anything else. I'm pretty happy to keep the 800 nearby and use it, but am unsure how close it would need to be to receive a signal from the strap. I'd never more than 4m away from it.
Alternatively, can anyone recommend a HR strap that I could use with the 800 on rides, and a watch/strap combo for normal fitness/gym workouts that will show me HR and cals used.
I really like the MIO Link but it wont display the HR/Cals as a standalone. Does anyone know if the Fuse will do this?
Edit: Just to say I wont be using it for any running so dont need GPS.
Many thanks
Billy
