I can’t really fault the MZ-Switch, but there’s no reason to invest in this device if you’re comfortable wearing a chest strap and don’t plan on using the MEP system. You could combine the Polar Verity Sense armband (opens in new tab) (£80) with something like the Wahoo TICKR chest strap (opens in new tab) (£40), save £20 and lose neither accuracy or comfort.

Since everyone’s heart rate zones are personalised to them in the app (based on basic info like age and weight at first, although over time it will be fine-tuned for more accuracy), everyone can earn points at the same rate if they’re making the same relative effort.

It also connects to other devices via both ANT+ and Bluetooth, and I’ve linked it to a range of watches plus my laptop, phone and iPad without any problems. That’s a serious amount of battery endurance considering the Switch is rechargeable and very small. I was also impressed by the MZ-Switch’s battery life: the sensor will last between three and six months on a single charge (the ECG sensor is less taxing on the battery than the optical one).
