Wrist HRM Direct to Strava
Hi,
I want to start recording heart rate with my Strava activities and want to do it with a wrist HRM. I don’t want it to go directly into Strava and not go into another service and then sync to Strava after the fact, like you need to do with the Fitbit Charge. I might be willing to compromise on this if I can run both apps at the same time during the activity.
Criteria:
-$100 or less
-Syncing directly to Strava
-Durable
Nice to haves:
-Displayed the time, average speed and mileage
Anything like this exist?
Edit: I am reading this thread and in some of the links to reviews it says that upper arm HRM monitors are more accurate. I would be open to this too. Maybe the Scosche Rhythm is what I am looking for.

If you use strava, you have a device with GPS, like your phone or bike computer. alternatively you can use a watch with that all in one device. the key is that device needs GPS or there wouldn't be a way to tell Strava where and how far and fast you went.
any of the ANT/BLT HRM will work with that device (note, some cheap phones only have BLT, but most better HRM have both BLT and ANT)

I have a Polar m200 that's works great. It's wrist hr monitor and is almost dead on accurate with my chest strap +\- 1-2 beats. It can sync automatically with strava as well as it 's own service platform. About $100. I had a fitbit hr (the latest), it was horribly inaccurate on hr and gps.
