About
HeartRateMonitorAdvisor.com is dedicated to researching the heart rate monitor market and providing you with all of the most current and relevant information you need to make an educated purchase decision. We have conducted a thorough analysis of all of the major makes and models of monitors and listed the pros and cons of each. The result is a top five list of the best heart rate monitors on the market.
We rank our monitors based on the following criteria:
- The features offered and how important those features are to particular sports.
- How reliable the monitors are when compared to an electrocardiograph (EKG).
- How easy the monitors are to use and how easy the owner’s manual is to follow.
- How owners feel about their monitors. We scour the web and read hundreds of reviews to get an overview of this. Just providing our own opinion on monitors we’ve used is not enough and does not give you a big enough picture of how the monitor is performing in the entire marketplace.
- Expert opinions from professionals in the field including top track coaches and professional athletes.
Our sources of information include top journals and newspapers like the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, as well as magazines like Consumer Reports, National Geographic Adventure, Runner’s World, Bike Radar, Women’s Adventure Magazine, Outside Magazine, and Bicycling Magazine, just to name a few. We also look at consumer product review websites and retailers like Amazon.com.
The result is the most comprehensive website dedicated solely to sports related heart rate monitors that you will find.

I am new to the world of heart rate monitors.
I participate in enduro motorccyle racing. These events can last 8-10 hours. My training can last for 12 hours plus.
I am interested in tracking heart rate and calories burned.
It appears that the chest strap is really the issue when it comes to battery life.
Do you know of any solutions out there that could possibly as long as 10-12 hours.
I am open to options that don’t show current data if that is an option. If I could wear the monitor and get the data later that would suffice, if there was something like that.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
