2. Garmin HRM-Pro
Heart rate data with ANT+ and Bluetooth Low Energy. This premium heart rate chest strap records running workouts, swimming sessions, and many other activities. It transmits heart rate data in real-time via ANT+ and Bluetooth Low Energy. This way, you receive consistently accurate heart rate data on your Garmin device, in online training apps like Zwift, or even on compatible fitness equipment at the gym.
Run even more efficiently. In addition to heart rate, the HRM-Pro records running efficiency metrics that can help you improve your form. This includes data such as vertical oscillation, ground contact time, stride length, vertical ratio, and many more.
Storage of your workouts. Even without a Garmin device. If your watch is out of range during swimming or other activities, heart rate data is stored on the device. After completing the activity, the data is then sent to the watch. Information on step count, calories, and intensity minutes is also stored and synchronized.
Practical and comfortable to wear. The HRM-Pro features a small and lightweight heart rate measurement module that is as slim as the soft, comfortable strap. You won't run out of power either. The replaceable coin cell battery lasts up to a year.

6. Suunto Smart Heart Rate Belt
The Suunto Smart heart rate belt provides accurate heart rate data while remaining comfortable to wear. The strap's efficiency is unbeatable, especially for sports where hand movements interfere with wrist-based heart rate measurement, and allows heart rate measurement even when the watch is worn over the sleeve or attached to the bike handlebars, or when the watch is not worn at all during a workout.
The Suunto Smart heart rate belt has an R-R memory that is used when the watch is not in range of the Bluetooth smart radio. This is super for team sports, for example, as it allows recordings to be made without wearing the watch. The memory function is supported by the Suunto 3, 5, 9, Spartan, Ambit3 and Traverse watches.
Avid cyclists, team athletes, martial artists, climbers, swimmers, water sports enthusiasts, triathletes, ski mountaineers, cross-country skiers, inline skaters and gym fans can get the most benefit from using the Suunto Smart heart rate strap.
The Suunto Smart heart rate strap is also a great companion for the free Sports Tracker app with Android, iOS and Watch OS devices.
