BEST HEART RATE MONITOR
GARMIN HRM-DUAL
$69.99 Llllm
For most people, accuracy is the key reason to buy a dedicated heart rate monitor (HRM)
rather than using one built into a fitness tracker or smartwatch. Another reason is to track
heart rate for hours without worrying about the battery dying. With that in mind, Garmin’s
HRM-Dual is accurate and comfortable, and it has a battery designed to last years. It also has
both ANT+ and Bluetooth technology, meaning it can connect to just about any device or app
you might use. The Wahoo Tickr X remains our Editors’ Choice thanks to its plethora of special
features, but if you’re looking for a reliable chest strap, the HRM-Dual is the best of 2019.1819
