Venu SQ with heart rate monitor armband

Hello,

Has anyone used an armband heart rate monitor with their Venu SQ? If so, which brand of monitor and what were your results? I'm not interested in chest strap monitors.

Thanks

Out of curiosity, why do you want to use an armband HRM instead of/in addition to the built-in HRM in the watch? Comparing the HRM trace for my Venu SQ to the one for my chest strap HRM on multiple activities, I was very pleasantly surprised to see that they were nearly identical.

chest strap HRM is way more precise especially under heavy workouts and sometimes the only way to measure correctly HB. That said I agree that venu sq is an amazing HRM monitor

I have always assumed that chest strap units were far superior, until I ran the stats to directly compare my strap HRM with my Venu SQ. Pearson coefficient of 98.6 - basically identical.

Thus my first post - why would someone want to use an armband HRM with a Venu SQ?
