Best Heart Rate Monitors for Biking

the monitor comes packaged in a small, zippered carrying case, and includes an attachment that allows you to place it on a bicycle handlebar.

i also noticed that while wearing it, the monitor transmits to gym equipment (bikes, ellipticals, etc) so you don't have to check the watch all the time, neat.

i use it while biking and want only to keep my rate in my healthy zone and to make sure i don`t overdo it since i`m over 70.

readings as some of the built in monitors on some of the equipment at my facility but also can use it on equipment that isn't set up to monitor the heart rate (their rower, some of their bikes, etc).

it was within a point of the hrm on the stationary bike and it fits my small wrist well.

the watch is better for running than for biking because on a bike, it can be difficult to continue riding while pressing down the two buttons with one hand.

its what keeps me on my recumbent bike (see that review) a little bit longer each time.

when i did get a reading it would be wildly different than the reading on my stationary bike (which i consider to be quite accurate.) others seemed to have similar problems with this watch and i

there are three of us where this same exact watch in my cycling class and we've never had a problem with "cross talk." as the other reviews said, there is no backlight.

i mainly am interested in keeping an eye on the calories burned as i give myself targets to hit when i ride my bike.
