Fixed it but that basically means you buy the Garmin Vivofit heart rate bundle since the optical ones are notoriously unreliable.


However, if you are doing training based on heart rate zones or you want the most accurate data possible then we cannot recommend them. Our doctor/runner/coach Sean Radford's verdict is that having already been skeptical about these wrist-based heart rate monitoring devices, he still isn't convinced that they are ready for serious runners.

The results were clear: most of the trackers employing optical sensors were only accurate (or close to accurate) at my normal resting heart rate of about 70-80 BPM. The Garmin VivoFit, a device that employs a chest strap, was expectedly dead-on at accelerated rates after exercise

True and in the end it is what you require from the device.

how does the sleep tracker and silent alarm work for you?

How did you pay? (R750 off and then the rest cash or whole amount off discovery?

Works well for me, found it pretty accurate from the time I go to bed and the time I wake up. Including trips to the bathroom. I had the whole amount from my savings used for the device
