Agree.
But I *hate* chest straps. Maybe it's some version of claustrophobia or something.
Anyhow, the Scosche Rythm+ and the new Wahoo Tickr that mount either near the elbow on the lower arm or around the bicep on the upper arm positioned over the brachial artery have worked very well for me. I think that is a good alternative to a chest strap and is accurate.
