Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

The optical on the FR245 is their best yet and I get good results with it, but it doesn't work for everybody. You have wear it tighter than you think and even then it depends on skin tone, tattoos, body fat etc. It's certainly good enough vs. a chest strap for me, even for intervals. YMMV

Got something to say?
