The best heart rate monitors for accuracy are chest straps, but many people find them awkward or uncomfortable during longer activities. Armbands like the Polar Verity Sense are a great alternative since they are more accurate than using a wrist sensor, and the Verity Sense is the best arm strap heart rate monitor I’ve tested.
It’s accurate, connects easily to watches and other devices, and has internal storage so you can track workouts on the Verity Sense and then sync them to the Polar app later.
