Hi coach. How accurate would the modern sport watches be compared today in 2023 to the time the video was released? I understand that these devices might never be as good as a chest strap but how accurate are these new devices?
This video still tells you nothing about which brand is the best to buy.
I use a polar H9, but to get that to work well, I SOAK the strap in water prior to running, light surface wetting doesn't work reliably. Before I started doing this my chest strap would throw bad data from time to time.. now it NEVER gives me ANY bad data. Writst HR wise.. for me my FR235 optical HR monitor is just a toy, it's SO bad. I go with Polar HR straps as they are the ones used in the scientific studies, they've been prooved to be 99.7{63ea5be50f54569954d442015639ec5a17aa3072669d5c9419118ee976a460f8} or better correlation with top end medical ECG devices.
Very nice, useful and incredibly good informing video. Congrats, guys!
What would you recommend for wearing for a 24/7 heart monitoring?
Thanks for a great video
The question is how can i calculate the power on every beat ? is that posible ? are 140 BPM the same effort for a fit person or a non fit person for a big person or a small one ? what i whould like to know if is the power on every beat matter too much to consider BPM a marker for progresion.
if i put like goal go 1h cardio every die at 140 BPM at the end of a year thoser 140 BPM will be the same 140 BPM and i will have to go 150BPM to improve or they will be 140 stronger BPM and that is the improvement ?
Hi, can anyone help? I have problems with tachycardia and few watches only can detect a sudden increase in heart rate from 80 to 200 bpm, apple watch is ok, but I haven't apple ,so only android phone and tried versa 3, garmin venu 2 and both go crazy during my attack, any idea?
useful video, with lots of sense and logic, thanks for sharing ??
I have a garmin forerunner and several chest straps. The numbers seem to be identical, enough to give me plenty of confidence in my wrist measurements. It's funny, the chest strap has given me errors or just stopped reading for a few minutes. That being said, I'm not arguing that the chest strap isn't the best device but from my anecdotal experience, I have no worries about the accuracy of the wrist measurements.
So from an intensity-tracking perspective then, power meter surely trumps HR due to the significant reduction in lag? Should we not move away from HR and rather look at power?
