.... a HRM. I'd like to record, as it happens, some HR data. Specifically I seem to run out of beats per min on some hills now. My heart guy said evidence would be useful. So need to record HR as a function of time as recovery from that max HR is a useful number. Thoughts from the collective would be very helpful.
TIA

Wahoo TICKR - found it more reliable than my previous Garmin HRM.

When I was looking Decathlon were the cheapest, if it's only temporarily I can send you mine, I rarely use it, but like to use it occasionally to prove I'm still alive

If you talk to some of my colleagues they will tell you I wouldn't be able to lend it out as they haven't been able to find it in years

Is it a wrist watch type, or more bike specific that you're looking for?

Also, do you have a particular budget in mind?

Haven't worn a wrist thing for many a long year so I may need to adjust to that if I went that way. But - yes it's for cycling. I suppose I could maybe employ it on walks but I tend to dawdle on those.

Budget - well as cheap as is sensibly possible. (Deep pockets, short arms)

Well thanks for the offer. Not sure at this stage if I will need it indefinitely or not. See how things go. Be warned tho'. A friend lent me his some years ago and Mrs 26 moved things (it's her speciality ) so that half of it went AWOL. The missing part did turn up eventually but not before I had to embarrassingly admit that it had been lost.

Checked Wahoo TICKR out on the web. Looks about right. Managed to install their app to my out of date smart phone. How is the data presented after completing a ride say?

Will check out Decathlon shortly

Simple to read bar chart just move your finger over it to see rate at at that point in time. Also displays max and avg. Also a separate chart with total time in each heart zone.

Sounds like it's just the job
