Looking for advice here guys.
Need to buy ‘something’ to keep me informed of: heart rate, calories burned and beep whenever I go over a set heart rate limit. Any additional functions will be useful and nice-to-have further down the line.
I’ll initially use it for brisk walks and contolled cycling. Will likely jog too later on as I (IF ) I get in better shape .
Thank you for all suggestions.

@motojobobo I’d recommend Garmin and I think most of them will have a heart rate monitor that you should be able to set to alert you if your HR goes to a certain number.

@motojobobo agree with @Nik on this. I’ve loved all my garmins. You should check out dcrainmaker.com he reviews everything and makes recommendations for cycling, running etc.

@motojobobo if you have an iPhone, an Apple Watch checks all those boxes

Finally in the above average zone. Only by .1 - another small step towards my fitness goals. While this was a walk. (My 5k this morning was 42.5) I’m still taking it as a win. For the next 4 weeks I’ll be in a fitness competition at work. I’m hoping to get my runs and walks all in the above average zone by week 4. Let’s go!

Thank you @Nik , @ZackB and @Fadez . That’ll get my search started in a solid direction.

@Fadez awesome job man. I’ve been trying to get my cardio fitness up on my watch too. It’s definitely been motivating me to get out there consistently again.

@ZackB Go for it man! Consistency is King I’m for sure cheering you on
