1. Mio Alpha
Alpha pairs with Runkeeper, Endomondo and MapMyFitness. It sends both heart rate and heart rate zone as audio cues, along with the existing distance and speed cues in Runkeeper. Alpha is meant to be used for the duration of your fitness activity. The watch is waterproof, but not for swimmers because the motion of water throws off the monitor. Heart rate data is accurate for running up to 14 miles per hour. It costs $199.
2. Sync Burn
You'll never have to charge the Sync Burn, and at $129 it's one of the more affordable wrist-worn heart rate trackers available. The Burn works with MapMyRun. MapMyRun is free, but an MVP membership ($30/year) is required to view your heart rate log.
3. Basis
The Basis is the best choice for runners interested in utilizing heart rate training, but who also want to explore activity tracking such as sleep patterns, step counting and skin temperature. Basis has two versions, the B1 for $179 and the Carbon Steel for $199.
