Chest Strap vs. Wrist Sensor
- Another analysis from the same group took a deeper head-to-head look at the data from the two Garmin systems.
- Chest straps are considered highly accurate, and the wrist sensors produced heart rate values that were consistently lower than the chest strap.
- That, in turn, meant that the wrist sensors overestimated VO2 max—which makes sense, since the heart-rate data was artificially low.
- The conclusion, not surprisingly, is that chest straps give you better data.
- The remaining question is whether the wrist band gives you “good enough” data, which depends on what you’re using it for.
