Does anybody have a recommendation for a very simple watch that pairs with a chest strap sensor, logs the data, and easily exports it to a CSV file?

I currently have a garmin forerunner35. i had one for about 2 weeks and returned it because the HR monitor didn’t work probably 80% of the time. the new one is not much better. the users manual says you can pair it with an ant+ chest strap, but mine won’t pair up. pretty frustrating. not to mention the garmin connect is almost worthless. it doesn’t provide the amount of time in each HR zone and won’t directly export the data to CSV. i currently use the goldencheetah workaround, but kind of annoying.

basically, i want a watch that just does the heart rate data. i don’t want GPS on it. i don’t want it giving me badges (yay!!!), and i don’t want it providing some random assessment of my sleep.

any recommendations?

thanks!

i am very curious about this also. i generally don’t have big blocks of time during the week, but i can probably do 30 minutes in the morning, 30 minutes at lunch, and an hour in the evening. are these 30 minute Z1 workouts beneficial, or too short to matter?
