Does anyone on here have experience with using an armband heart rate monitor?

I want to order something online but I have discovered that there are dozens of options and I don’t know
which are best.
I tried buying Polar OH1, but it didn’t work and its armband is amateurish and the turning on button
is really uncomfortable for usage.
So I am seeking recommendations for armbands with the following specifications:
A professional armband suitable for small hands; A large and comfortable turn on button;
ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart support; Accurate heart rate measurement;Water resistant;preferably sunlight
resistant; and preferably extended battery life.

Thank you in advance, Erez .

@Chess24, you shouldn’t post your whole name. I edited out your last name. Remember, this forum is searchable.

They’re generally junk. The chest strap ones are much more accurate for cardio and you need a strap and cuff combo if you want BP. Expect to spend over $400 USD.

Hi Erez. Boy you’ve been taking this exercise thing to heart. I’m hoping next month I can get a gym membership to follow your example.

I hope I don’t come of as someone who knows what they are talking about but some of those Fitbits are really nice. My aunts just love theirs.

Edit: I misread. You said armband. I guess these go on the wrist but I still heard good things.
