Could someone recommend a good chest strap to use with this device?

I use a polar. either # 31 or 34. It compatible with a polar watch and a nordic trac machine

Yeah, no idea! I bought mine and it didn't come with the watch and said it had everything to start using it.......no strap, no watch or other needed device and I have left it sit ever since......WASTE OF MONEY.

Don't buy this thing. You will be lucky to get one use out of it, there's a reason they're 2/3 off.

I wish I knew what would make a good chest strap as the one I have works so poorly. I believe the device would be wonderful if only there was a good chest strap that would consistently work with it.

I have been using the Oregon Scientific SmartHeart SE102 Heart Rate Monitor with it and it works great. Oregon Scientific Heart Rate Monitor Watch

This was a gift for my grandson, so I'm sorry don't know personally, but I can ask him. From a similar experience with another device, I would think that Edward's answer below would work well - if you don't have copper wire, you could use fishing line, or buttonhole thread to make a loop and thread the loop through to hook around the small thread on the strap.

I do not think that it would be strong enough...it would depend on the adult and issues...if for stability...using the chest strap, I would think not... If simply for comfort, it might work???

It is NOT recommended that you wear the chest strap all day with these. They're better off used to measure your workouts. As another responder had stated, check out a FitBit or Jawbone for all-day wear (I use a FitBit with my HRM during workouts).

No, with this model, there is no chest strap. In order to have it record and display your heart rate, you need to place your index and middle fingers on to the medal surface of the watch. After placing your finger tips on the watch, it may take up to 5 seconds before it displays the heart rate.

I don't think it does need a chest strap. I haven't used it yet but it is like a wrist watch that you wear around your wrist. I did at one time have a rowing machine that required a chest strap that would tell your puslse rate. Hope this helps a little.Lana

Honestly it would take cinch up tight enough but you would have to deal with the straps with ranger bands or something. The standard configuration fits a bigger chest. Check out OSE micro chest rig.

I prefer shoulder strap. You don't have worry about banging into objects if you're not paying attention to where its being held.

Yeah a head strap would be good if you want to capture whatever you look at and should not be a problem to stop and play and take pictures since this cam comes with a remote which does all three of those functions. A chest mount is good if you just want to record whatever is straight ahead its kind of hard to record something up high. I use the chest harness for skiing but I am going to switch to a helmet mount since when you lean to ski the camera points at the ground even with it tilted at max angle.So for hiking I would recommend a head strap so you can record whatever you looking at.

As a man I have no issues with the chest strap, I always know it there but it's not a all uncomfortable. I would think women being used to a bra would forget they are wearing the chest strap.

Hello! RCX5 requires a chest strap for heart rate monitoring. Connects wirelessly (i think via coded Bluetooth so it will only work with polar sensors). it also connects to gps, speed and cadence sensors simultanously).

I think that the strap would work, however I'm not sure how it would affect the accuracy of the device since it wouldn't be in the same position on your hand as it is expecting.

Also idea to add...you can buy larger packages on amazon...type in...Safety 1st Adjustable Multi-Purpose StrapAnd you can choose

I believe the difference is the foot pod. You cannot use it without a chest strap for heart rate, but you can use the foot pod without the chest strap.

I have not had that problem, but I'm not a very big man (40 inch chest). I believe you can get longer elastic straps for the chest monitor. I have seen them before but can't find them now. I hope this helps.

It does have a chest strap and is comfortable. Typically I have my Maxxum loaded to the gills, and it does not 'dig' into my shoulders.

I bought this because it is the most light weight camera pack available. I have never used the chest strap.
