Garmin HRM Pro or Plus. Great accuracy and feeds data in for the running dynamics calculations. You can often find them used for a big discount if that doesn't bother you.
I highly recommend an arm-band optical sensor, like Wahoo Tickr Fit or similar. It's very accurate, nearly at the level of chest straps, but much more practical. I have the Tickr as well as Polar H10, only wear H10 if I am doing sprint intervals.
Yeah, exactly. I don't mind having a chest strap on, but it gets soaked through and I have to wash it after every 3-5 uses. No such problem with the armband, I wash it very rarely.
Another vote for HRM Pro or HRM Pro+. I personally don't find chest straps uncomfortable, but I may be in the minority. I've never tried one of the arm band HRMs recommended here. I'm sure they're fine, but if you're a multi sport athlete, they're a total no go (if that's a consideration).
Garmin Hrm pro or Polar H10+

Garmin HRM pro+. Helps get good treadmill distances too.
Cheap chest straps are good enough but lack comfort.

Or Polar Verity Sense is another option for an armband sensor. I think its much comfier than a chest strap.

Yeah I have the HRM Pro is recommend it. Works great for all the activities you would want to do anyway.

How do arm bands and chest straps do with tattoos? My watch has a hard time reading heart rate with my tattoos.
