Whether you\u2019re an avid runner, gym-goer, cyclist or just generally looking to have a better grasp on your daily health, a heart rate monitor is an easy way to get instant feedback on your health.<\/p>\n

In the past, this would have meant having to strap a big monitor to your chest. Advancements in technology have condensed these gadgets, allowing you to check your heartrate through other wearables like watches and even rings.<\/p>\n

For the truly dedicated, a strap around the chest remains the most accurate option for consumers, but for those who want the occasional insight, your options are varied.<\/p>\n

Below we\u2019ve picked out and tested some of the best heart rate monitors around, all coming in at different prices, styles and with a range of features available.<\/p>\n

The best heart rate monitors in 2022<\/h2>\n

The Wahoo Tickr is a heart rate monitor that won\u2019t break the bank and will still give you everything you need to start getting to grips with paying attention to your heart rate and the insights it can offer into your exercise time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wahoo builds the EKG sensor into the strap with LED indicator lights in place to let you know when it\u2019s tracking your heart and when it\u2019s connected to another device, which includes the Apple Watch. To connect to those additional devices, there\u2019s both Bluetooth and ANT+ wireless connections letting you pair up to three devices at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pair it to Wahoo\u2019s own Fitness app and you can view heart rate in real-time as well as calorie burn data and track the time you\u2019ve been sweating it out as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll get over 500 hours of training data from the coin cell battery packed into it, which should keep your tracking covered for a while before it needs swapping out for a new one.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s cheap, easy to use, and works with a range of connected kit and apps that make it a solid budget HR monitor to buy.<\/span><\/p>\n
