any heartrate monitors without a strap?

[yairi]

The strap on my heart rate monitor always slips down while running. Really annoying. Considering that my monitor is pretty old anyway I was thinking if there are any out there that don't use a strap I could maybe be interested in such a thing. Are there?

I know of finger tip and ear lobe sensors but their accuracy is in doubt. One supplier, decades ago, offered a mild form of the type of adhesive used to keep false beards and other false things in place. Try it.

Saw this online, the Mio brand one- no idea on the accuracy compared to a strap, though.

Interesting, not bad price either but it looks a bit short on functions ... might be good enough though.

Those suck. You have to put your finger on the touch pad in order to get a heartrate reading. That means you don't get a continuous monitoring of your heart throughout your workout. You only get it when you stick your finger on the pad.

I came across one a while ago that is strapless AND it gives a constant heartrate read out by continually measuring the blood pressure in your wrist. I am not sure how accurate it will be compared to ones with a cheststrap though. It seems that if that worked well, everyone would use that technology and do away with the chest straps...

What kind of HRM are you using? Polar makes a strap that is all fabric (no elastic) that may help with the problem.

Or hang out at a serious bodybuilding store and get a bottle of Bikini Bite clothing glue?

Anyone know if that will work with the PowerTap SL? (not 2.4)
