Seeking help...Karma points to be earned

[kkatt]

This is evidence of just how rubbish I really am.

Shopping is not my strong point. Decisions of any kind in fact. But if I choose something then start to doubt myself. there's a good chance I'll wind up buying a whole load of items then having to return them all. So it really helps if someone could give an opinion on choosing an item from a selection i provide.

Who's up for doing a good deed?

I need to choose a heart monitor. I decided on a wrist monitor. Here's the link for the choices.

Please?

Yikes. Talk about decision fatigue! I'd be rubbish at it, too.

Are there any special features that you want that some have and others don't? If not, and they're all functionally adequate for your needs, keep it simple and buy the cheapest one that has a minumum 4-star rating.

At least then, if you don't like the one you get, you'll have a starting point to compare the others to when you go looking for a replacement. Without that comparative starting point, anyone would be lost.

Thanks for taking a look. This happens every time something important needs buying.
The blood pressure thing is a secondary concern. Just need to know when the pulse isn't ok.
Did consider the little finger monitors,but from experience, I know they won't stay on when you hit blind panic.

I don't know about the ones listed there or how serious you need it to be, but my old friend used a fitbit, there are ones that are good for heart rate, that's all I can suggest

I suffer from afib (atrial fibrillation) and use an old Polar heart rate monitor that uses a chest strap. It works for me because when I have an episode I can immediately see the current bpm jumping from 70-90bpm to 150-200bpm within a few seconds.

I once tried a fitbit but in my case it was not accurate and did not immediately register the current bpm so I couldn't rely on it.

Yeah I wasn't sure how good it was if you really need it

Yeah. This is my concern with the sports monitors. From what you said, I'm thinking it is constantly operating. That sounds great. I have seen a few of these and might take a look at them.

I always have a method for buying stuff on amazon, I always base everything on reviews. I want the highest stared reviews but also the product that has the highest amount and percentage of 5 stars.
