Why are we telling you about the best heart rate monitors for cycling when power meters have long been the ultimate way to measure your fitness on the bike? You'd be forgiven for thinking heart rate monitors had gone out of fashion, but they're still one of the most reliable methods of tracking performance and much more affordable than many alternative training aids.
Navigation not as good as others
As the price suggests this is quite a bit more than just a heart rate monitor, but heart rate tracking is via an optical sensor like pretty much all smart watches. Our reviewer was impressed with the crisp, clear and highly customisable display, and said it was a marked improvement on previous Garmin smart watch offerings. Those who are new to smart watches and HRMs won't be left scratching their heads either, as it's easy to use and intuitive.
Off the bike, it's also useful to know what your resting heart rate is, as this is a very rough indicator of your general aerobic fitness level. You can always just take your pulse of course, but if you wear your heart rate monitor day-to-day it can be interesting to chart your average heart rate and how it may change as you get fitter.
