I recently had a pacemaker implanted and am having problems getting accurate readings while using the chest strap. Evidently the pacemaker puts out different electrical impulses than just my heart alone. I have tried 2 different Garmin chest straps and neither one seems that accurate. Just using the optical from my watch is fairly accurate, but in the winter, I would prefer to use the chest strap so I can keep my watch outside of my clothing and still read the HR, etc.
Also, I need some way to get my HR into my Garmin Edge cycling monitors. May look for an optical wrist strap that is still Bluetooth, ANT compatible.
