My wife usually moves stuff to the shelf.

Well. Half of it is hers........

I have been using a bontrager branded hr for years now. Was cheap and works great. Ant+ only though

[Bogan]

Scosche RHYTHM+

I have been using this for a year or two now. Never an issue, pairs easily and stays paired. The Garmin bands never worked well for me.

Decathlons "Geonaute": 30 Euros, ANT+ and bluetooth, always worked, battery easy to change, lasted 1 1/2 years so far.
I think HRM manufacturing is:

Bumped a 2.5 year old thread to push some web links huh. Slick.

mattr, I do have a shelf for shoes, helmet, glasses etc, but I also have a wife who moves stuff...

She's tidying up!

Polar H10. The smallest of the current chest straps and also the most comfortable. The Polar Pro Soft Strap can be purchased separately and used with Garmin sensors as well.

My girlfriend had a lot of issues using her Wahoo Tickr-Run in combination with a Garmin Smartwatch.

Personally I have beent using the Wahoo Tickr-X https://www.remo-knops.com/5393/wahoo-t ... e-monitor/ in combination with my Pioneer SGX-CA500 https://www.remo-knops.com/5281/pioneer ... em-review/ for a long time, but the cycling computer is replaced with a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt. Guess what ... HR is not showing up in the Wahoo combination of products.

I've ended up replacing the Wahoo Tickr-X with a 4iiii Viiiiva https://www.remo-knops.com/10040/4iiii- ... t-bridge/ and using it flawelessly with the Wahoo Elemnt Bolt now. Can't really comment on the battery-life yet.

Smells to spam of your own webpage.... reported!

Back on subject. I had to replace my original Tickr last week as the 'stud' connector between the strap and strap had failed due to corrosion.

I cannot complain as I have had many years of use both inside and outside ridings. I bought a new design Tickr as a replacement.

Polar OH1+. Doesn't miss a beat, armband instead of chest strap. I find it way more comfortable.

Totally agree! Been using polar ever since I started running in 2010

I've a Garmin which is ANT+ that I've had for a while - works ok but am wondering about getting a Bluetooth HR for indoor training - any recommends ?

[maquisard]

The new Tickr I have been using since the earlier post is excellent for both indoor and outdoor riding - recommended.

I just got an indoor trainer for the first time, and sweat profusely. After one ride, my Garmin HR monitor stopped working, but after I washed the strap, it worked again. So just raising the possibility that it is the strap, not the monitor.

[xkcd]

you can easily check if your sensor is working:
- remove the sensor from the strap
- wet your thumbs
- one thumb goes to the right metal pole, the other one on the left
with a functioning sensor you should get a reading right away
