What’s the cheapest fitness tracker can I use to connect to these external heart rate sensors?

For once, some decent data/feedback on questions I have been asking for many years! I have had a heart condition for 13 years and have always used a SUUNTO. It has tracked very well against all ECGs (within 1-2 bpm), however, it can give very wayward results that leave me frustrated at times. For instance, this morning, when I started training, my heart rate suddenly dropped 11bpm, then shot up 26 and started to normalise after about 7 mins…. So I am researching which chest straps are currently the most accurate (as one of my doctors once said- the closer to the heart that you measure, the more accurate the reading will be. If we wanted to use your wrist for ECGs, we’d put the electrodes there!).

This is a great article! I really appreciate the time and effort that went into making this article. I was wondering if there are any articles that include recommendations. I was also wondering if the MyZone heart monitor connects to any other apps (like MapMyRun).

If you do a follow-up post it would be good to include those wearables that include heart rate and breathing tech directly in the fitness garment.
