try a manual measurement right after u run...

If that the case. Yes, its bad for you. Don't always run too hard.
Your watch is new model. The new sensor should be able to give almost accurate hr reading provided you strap it fairly tight.

Haha..

Thanks for the advice. I'll try to limit the hard effort run of 1/2 per week.

sometimes, the weather when you run also affects your HR. I noticed my HR tends to drift higher faster if there's hot sun while running in the evening... if early morning cool weather, HR won't drift high...

Not sure whether this is the right these to ask the question.

I have a chest strap heart rate monitor. I would like to have a "dummy" fitness tracker that can connect to my chest strap HRM just for me to monitor/view the heart rate during running instead of using the HR sensor on the fitness tracker/watch. I dislike wearing watches all the time that's why I opt for chest strap HRM instead of fitness band/watch.

One example of such dummy watch is like Sigma id.go watch.

Any recommendations? Thanks

Plenty here and cheap.

Excellent. Thanks for pointing to the web site

This is very true. My morning runs that start at 6am have at least 5% lower HR as compared to evening runs that start at 6pm. I also noticed, I tend to sweat a lot more in the morning than in the evening.

Recently weather very erratic, keep missing my evening workout. Is there any place that is safe to jog late at nite? Kl, selangor area

Shit that effects HR (in no particular order):

Time of day
Heat
Humidity
Altitude
Nice looking ah mois/leng chais (depending on preference)
Race day adrenaline

Stress
Sleep
Illness
Hydration
Fatigue
Nutrition
Lack of recovery

Recreational drugs
Caffeine
Beetroot Juice

Hill Gradient
Running Speed

Running surface
Shoes

What a long list you have there

Just keep running...

https://t.me/MKNRasmi/4379

what watch do you guys use for running?
im looking for cheap and accurate watch for running and some workout

I'm using Garmin Forerunner 645

What's your budget?

cheapest if possible.
was looking at those mi band but not sure if they are suitable

used to have android smartwatch but the battery getting weaker day by day

Get Forerunner 45 lo.. I'm a Garmin person so may be biased, but I think quality is better in general it can last longer

My 70+ mother uses a mii band for her walks around the neighbourhood as it helps her count her steps. She also notes that swinging her arm while seated also counts as a step. I think for the price around RM120(?) just saw for that price on lazada so you can't go far wrong. NO GPS so you will still have to pair with a phone when out running. It also looks pretty nice for the price and cheaper than most of the watches at decathlon https://www.decathlon.my/29788-watches-gps-pedometers

Forerunner 45 at RM710ish is a lot more expensive but their sensors and data will probably be more reliable and you also get garmin coach, connect and their software ecosystem. I think a garmin is a worthwhile upgrade if you start to get serious - i use the 945 and i love it except the altimeter sensor gets blocked due to my heavy sweating. Having said that, in the old days, if you were serious about keeping track of your training you just used a basic casio stopwatch and an exercise book to log your training.

so the mi band require phone nearby for gps?

currently i just holding my phone while running

Need a phone. AFAIK no way you can get built in GPS at that price.

Nothing wrong with using a phone for something like strava although obviously there will be a lot less data and it won't be as precise. You can just buy a cheap arm strap if you don't want to hold your phone.

You need to ask yourself why you want a watch for running and what sort of features you're interested in before people can actually help you here. Otherwise Mii band, phone in pocket is a simple solution for basic running metrics if you dont want to spend too much money. Or maybe spend a bit more money for one of those amazfit watches which seem to be do a decent job on strava.
