I do a lot of interval training which requires me to monitor my heart rate closely and my heart rate determines when I begin my next set or exercise.

I don't care about tracking calories burned, distances walked/ran, etc. Just want an accurate HR reading on a device that I can comfortably workout with.

Suggestions?

Garmin watch with HR strap. You can spend as much or as little as you want to spend.

Garmin

But if you are doing intervals and not a lot of steady state running then I would stay away from the HR wrist-based monitors. There is a slight delay with the HR reading. Just get one with a chest strap.

Are you the guy that runs in the neutral ground on St Charles with his shirt off and a heart rate monitor on?
