I am looking for the best heart rate monitors for a mix of HIIT and Zone 2 training. I have noticed that my wrist based sensor on my watch really struggles during high intensity intervals when my arms are moving around a lot.

I am training in my garage gym in Illinois and it gets quite cold in the winter and humid in the summer. I need something that is accurate and does not lose connection when I am doing burpees or sprints. I have been looking at chest straps versus armbands.

Has anyone tried the Scosche Rhythm+ 2.0 lately? I have heard armbands are more comfortable than chest straps but I do not want to sacrifice accuracy for my Zone 2 sessions. Please let me know what you are all using to keep your data clean.
