Looking to get a heart rate monitor
So like the title I am looking for a heart rate monitor. I currently run and bike, I'm slow so I am not really competing to win, I wanted to better measure the calories I was burning and improve my running. I'm not sure if I should get a watch or a chest based monitor.
I was looking at the Wahoo Tickr X which has the HR monitor and also does running analytics. At $120 it seems like a really good deal, I just need to strap it on. I was wondering what the biggest advantages are to using watched based monitors like the Forerunner 935, 735xt or Fenix 3, is it being able to easily see HR and pace at a glance? Is there any great reason that I should spend more and get a garmin vs getting the Tickr?
