I've really enjoyed this heart rate monitor! I linked it to my Garmin Enduro watch easily and I feel like the data is more accurate than the wrist HR monitor in my watch. It's comfortable to wear and the battery life is great! The longest run I've taken it on so far was a little over 13hr.

Probably a dumb question but…
Thoughts on this vs a traditional chest strap, as far as accuracy?
I recently switched to Coros from Garmin, and it’s tempting to try this instead of a chest strap, but I’m skeptical of how accurate an optical HR monitor will be. Seems like bicep is a better location than wrist, but during activity my wrist-only HR reading is accurate maybe… 10% of the time?
Penny for your thoughts.

Hi Paul. Not a dumb question, as chest straps have been far more accurate than wrist-based monitors for years. I find the Coros optical HR to have more accuracy than any of my watches. It might be a tad slower than my chest strap, but it's close enough that I have made it my go-to for workouts. For an unbiased take, check out this article.
