HR monitor with altitude?

pmorgan1

Hi,

Looking for a HRM/computer that captures HR as well as altitude (barometric OK, did not find GPS sufficiently accurate anyway) that is suitable for cycling and running (mainly indoors, so HR is enough )

Looked at Garmin Forerunner 310XT, but the reviews suggest it's not as sturdy as one would expect.

Thanks!

Suunto have various models with both HRM and altitude - although they might not be as sophisticated for intervals etc. (if that's your bag) as some dedicated HRMs

Pretty sure Polar do one that has both HR and altitude. Not cheap though.


Yup:

(I assume you want a watch so you can use it for running)


My Garmin 500 does all that and more, but it's not really a running type of thing.

I can't recommend my Garmin Edge 500 enough, it's fantastic and you can, if you shop around, find a wrist mount for it (although it would look pretty stupid on your wrist IMHO).

I thought that said 'with attitude'. Does it shout at you 'work harder you weakling'.

The 310xt is excellent, but it doesn't have a barometric altimeter. However, when you up load to Garmin Connect it does some kind of elevation correction anyway.

Where did you read that the 310xt wasn't sturdy? Had mine for almost a year now and its been faultless.

I'll get mine too, as I thought exactly the same.
