The problem is if you cycle with a HR Strap and run with a watch, you’ll end up with really stupid HR data and in turn crazy RE data and HR zone data.
My resting pulse is 40bpm, my Suunto watch shows 86bpm. My all out Max effort bike hr is about 175bpm but running on the watch something north of 220bpm which of course is bullshit

I've been weighing up an upgrade on my watch to something like a 245 music (or maybe 745/945/Fenix if I'm feeling plush), currently using a very old/basic Forerunner 25 with my Wahoo HR strap.
Heard wrist-based monitoring generally sucks but I guess if it is consistently in-consistent that would be alright. Like the idea of music from my watch without taking a phone but then also quite enjoy the 'quiet time' you can get from running without. Maps would be useful too, but that's only available on the super expensive options
