I want the simplest chest strap HR monitor out there that displays HR and Time simultaneously. I don't care if the Time is Duration, or "Time of Day". I don't care (much) if something else is displayed, provided I can read the numbers at a glance. Although this is for foot travel, I don't care about "step counting" or cadence. I want simple: HR and Time. Suggestions? Thanks. Edit to add: … displays HR and Time on the paired wrist watch.
Some phones have built in ANT radios, which can read the signals from Garmin (and other) chest straps. Bonus is that the phones also tell time. Simple enough? :-)
I replaced my broken Timex monitor recently with the Polar H7 heart rate sensor. I got mine on clearance at Best Buy for approximately $50 a few months ago. It is a chest monitor your sync via blue tooth with a smart phone using the Polar Beat app. It is pretty basic and does a tad more than what you are looking for but not much more.
I don't own a smart phone, or a wrist watch, let alone one that is Bluetooth enabled. Hence the emphasis on Simple …
My Garmin 405cx is still going strong and you can set up a screen to do just what you asked. I've seen them used on eBay for $50-$90. But wait, there's more… I found this on Amazon for $30. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00LNSTZNQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1446534037&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=Lad+heart+rate&dpPl=1&dpID=51Vpj4P3ScL&ref=plSrch I can't make any judgements about this product since I don't own it.
I have the earlier version of this Timex (see link below) and it works really well. I'm the same as you, all I wanted was an easy to read display (I don't need my glasses with this one) and a HR and time display. It does a continuous HR display (no buttons to push), which is what I wanted most. It looks like they have improved the chest strap on the updated model which is good as the one I have works well but has too much plastic on the strap. http://www.mec.ca/product/5032-661/timex-ironman-road-trainer-full-size-hrm-unisex/?q=timex%2Bheartrate%2Bmonitor
Got a ebay deal that gets it done. What helped the most was realizing I needed to do a generic search to find old models that weren't showing up on current web sites. Thanks all.
