I have a fabric one (ie new style) with the clip on reader By using my rucksack I have ended up with some minor but annoying rubs on my back rather than spend £60+ on an arm HRM can I adjust the chest one? Leave the "rubbery contact" bit so just shorten the elastic? I'm assuming it will work - a replacement strap is a lot cheaper than a new arm band HRM!

EvilPixie Feb 2022 2:33pm, 3 Feb 2022 30,750 posts	0 EvilPixie I guess not but it's nice to see? I suppose using the watch wouldn't hurt!
Velociraptor Feb 2022 3:15pm, 3 Feb 2022 56,253 posts	0 Velociraptor I'd file it under "pointless numbers". Or use the watch. (I only use wrist HRM when running. About half the time I get a trace that looks plausible and about half of those times the plausible-looking trace is in keeping with the profile and perceived effort of the run.)
EvilPixie Feb 2022 3:35pm, 3 Feb 2022 30,753 posts	0 EvilPixie I like that answer!! I guess Gobi liked to see the numbers and he got me back wearing a strap (turbo won't read off watch either) so it's a habit!
Velociraptor Feb 2022 3:42pm, 3 Feb 2022 56,255 posts	0 Velociraptor Having accurate heart rate (and cadence and power) numbers for turbo sessions is useful, and having an accurate heart rate trace for key running sessions is also valuable especially if you're tracking progress. For commutes at the moment, probably not worth £60 or the discomfort of chafing.
