Heart Monitors for iPhone reviews ??
Anybody using a heart rate monitor with an iPhone.. I am in my fifties now and want to start taking a look at my heart stats now and then.. I have a iPhone 4S and don't feel the need for a Garmin.. too much information...And my iPhone with any number of apps does mostly the same thing.. But would like to be able to wear a monitor now and then and use an iPhone app to track.. I know that s the iPhone apps wear the battery down pretty quickly.. but feel a cheap extra battery pack from china and a blue tooth heart monitor will be a better choices financially.
Any experiences ??

you might be best off getting the ant+ adapter from garmin or wahoo fitness or any number of other providers and then sync with any ant+ HR monitor.. as for software, I'm sure the wahoo fitness software would work well..

Cost factor
The Garmin is about 300 and the monitor another 85.. Im not about to just go and get that...
I track rides with my iPhone in a case in my pocket.. not likely to fall off the handlebars there.. Also the software automatically uploads the ride to a web page and sends a link to my emails. Thats why I specifically was asking about those who have experience with the iPhone and Monitors.

I ride with both a Garmin 800 and an iPhone running Cyclemeter.
I have heard that there are apps that can do heart rate, but can your battery handle a long ride? I find that the Garmin is more accurate and as mentioned, I ignore the superfluous data.

What type of heart rate information are you looking for? Hoping to download entire ride data and analyze it? just looking for average/max Heart Rate?
You could probably just pick up a cheap polar watch and monitor, and get some of that data. Don't have any experience with HR straps with an iPhone.

MotionX
Motion X has a bike nab app that can record and store all the data.. so i would be able to look back on my rides and see what my heart was doing..
It gives you a web page with yr her rates and elevations etc.. I guess the question I am trying to get answered is... Has anyone used a monitor with an iPhone and if so which monitor and how well did it work. Not interested in Garmin or watches or whatever.. Just want to know about experiences using a monitor with an iPhone.. Thanks boys and girls.
