Choose by the device you will pair
Check support for external heart rate sensors on your exact watch or bike computer. Bluetooth on a device does not guarantee it can read heart rate from an accessory. Choose a sensor that broadcasts ANT+ if it is the only protocol your receiver accepts.
Measure your chest or upper arm
Check the circumference where the strap sits and the exact size in the product listing. A chest strap should stay snug during movement, and an arm sensor needs stable contact with the skin. Allow for clothing, cycling bib straps and sports bras.
Separate live readings from workout recording
Some sensors send readings as you go and depend on a watch or app to save the data. If you want to leave the receiver behind, choose a sensor with a documented recording mode and check how to start it and sync the result.
