Wrist mounted pulsometer with ant+ for Edge 830

Any recommendations? I want a wrist mounted pulsometer that my 830 can see in 'add sensor', and display and record the data on a ride. 

I've had good search around, there is a lot of conflicting and incomplete advice out there.

    Most, if not all, Garmin watches have the capability of broadcasting heart rate data to the Edge via ANT+. I use a Venu 2 for that purpose.

    Check the user guides for the steps to invoke it as it may vary from between models.

    Any heart rate measuring device that can broadcast the HR via ANT+ or BT will work.

    That's great thanks very much, just what I needed to have confirmed!

    Keep in mind that any wrist heart rate monitor is much less accurate at high exertion levels than a proper chest strap HRM.  I have a Garmin Instinct watch and it doesn't come close to tracking my high level activities compared to the chest HRM.  The watch will show as much as 20% low during hard efforts.  Bad data is worse than no data, in my opinion.

    I actually go in the "other direction" with this.  During rides I have the chest HRM broadcast to both my Edge and the watch to get a more accurate analysis of my day from the watch.
