[QUOTE="Baruney, post: 895518, member: 146303"] OK sounds like you want an activity tracker - monitors are better for overall health but are expensive and have on going costs due to the software license (see here for background reading - worth read - if it's what your after you can get them a lot cheaper - don't worry about the retail price [URL]http://www.kiperformance.co.uk/about_us/default.aspx[/URL]). Activity trackers have started to be able to track hr. One that is being raved about is this - example only and good description below make sure it is the HR model: [URL]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-New-FITBIT-CHARGE-HR-PLUM-feat-Continuous-Heart-Rate-Monitoring-/321753181807?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item4ae9fbee6f[/URL] Maybe [USER=179219]@dunelm[/USER] can shed some light though don't know what version he has. Fitbit's app is also highly recommended "The App Experience A fitness tracker's app matters. Whether mobile- or Web-based, the app is absolutely vital because it is where you make sense of the information the tracker collects. Fitbit has one of the best apps and websites, in my opinion. It lets you record all kinds of data that an activity-tracking device can't, such blood pressure, calories consumed, allergy severity, and stress level. Withings is also a favorite for providing a comprehensive account where you can measure your weight, glucose readings, and all kinds of health information." Personally I had my eye on one of these but that's just personal choice [URL]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mio-FUSE-Heart-Rate-Training-All-Day-Activity-Tracker-size-S-M-/261951685454?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3cfd89834e[/URL] of course you can just buy an analogue watch and keep an eye on your activity or a cheaper alternative (if you have bluetooth on your tablet is a bluetooth HRM cheststrap which you sync through various sports apps. Both those options come in £10ish. I'm more than happy with my Nike+ fuelband and Nike+ GPS sports watch with Polar HRM but that again is personal choice specific for my needs. Ciao. [/QUOTE]
