Subject: Heart rate monitor with no strap?
I saw this had ben brought up a few times. My inquiry was using it for
my walk to the
metro in the morning, and to watch my heart rate all day. I don't want
to have a strap under
my suit. Does anyone at all make one without the chest strap, even if
it's a little flaky?

I tried a wrist watch one that read the back of the watch and your
fingers from the other hand. Did not work for me, and the instructions
said 'Does not work for all people'

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I have one on my stationary trainer that clips on my earlobe. I had one
once that hooked to a wristband held unit, and clipped on my finger. They
both rely on blood pulses, and, I am sure, would not be convenient in your
office.

If you want to get away from the chest band, you would probably have to use
those adhesive electrodes that are used in EKG measurements.

What's wrong with a chest band?
