Thank you. I've used a heart rate monitor since I met Dr. Maffetone in 1987. These days, I"m much slower at 65, but still concerned about training in the zone. Watch or strap? This video was helpful and I appreciate it. Train smart and have fun!
Please correct me if I am wrong but it seems to me that you have forgotten to set the same heart rate zones on both watches. The zones are not changed by peaks. They needs to be set in the options of your device, or not? (Go to the web app, click on your watch in the top right corner, set the zones there somewhere).
Sir, I have reason to believe that your heart rate zones are set too low. There's no way that someone can sustain over 20 minutes in Zone 5. Exceptions are very top elite individuals, but even they will struggle to stay in red zone for over 20 minutes. You should do a Rockport walk test or (if you feel fit enough), try Cooper test. One of those will give you the "real world" of your heart rate training zones (Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, Z5). I was always suspecting that wrist HR monitors aren't precise enough, thank you for clarifying that. Great video.
If you connect the chest strap with the clock, it is automaticaly using the heart rate from the chest strap an deactivate the heart rate measurement on the clock-optipal on the wrist?
Chest monitors have been proven to be more accurate than wrist monitors. Even the arm based monitors have a higher degree of accuracy, not to far from the accuracy of the chest monitors. I use all depending on the situation.
726 vs 689 is a 3-4% which is nothing on a recreational, not medical, device.
They're not inaccurate, they're within the tolerance expected

You're very welcome

What do zones have to do with comparing accuracy?
Lower the music. Or just get rid of it.
Which app or website are you using in this demonstration

Thank you. This was purely to compare accuracy, I wasn't really concerned with HR zones.
Agreed
Looking 4 watch vs chest strap.. found ur video great information!
Glad it was helpful!

I am not sure what you are asking. I wore 2 watches one watch connected to chest, one went off the wrist.
@@N8IRun have you tride bolth wrist watches to see how they compare?
you are correct, it deactivated the optical heart rate from the watch when the chest strap was connected
what app is that at 1:26?
So, which one do you think is more accurate?
Chest HRM is more consistent handles spikes in HR much better.
Thanks for the update!
Appreciate the content but the background music is loudand distracting
Can barely hear you with background music…
The background soundtrack is distracting. Can't understand some segments. Suggest not using a soundtrack at all.
Good video. Turn the freaking music down.
Too loud music. Music isnt even necessary
Not all individuals will have the same level of difference. You assume the chest monitor is exact. Maybe the truth is in-between the two readings.
