You could try wearing a heart rate monitor chest strap under your shirt and carry a Garmin fitness tracker in your pocket.

If you don't mind wearing a big fitness tracker, the Fitbit Blaze has been great in my experience. It's a bit old now, and the new bigger fitbits are the Surge and the Charge 2, but I still love my Blaze.

The Blaze is newer than the Surge; it's basically a Surge with a color screen and the face detachable from the band (which is much better for charging, as well as making replacing the band practical) but without independent GPS (which means if you want to do run tracking without carrying a phone, the Surge still has an advantage.)

The Charge 2, IIRC, replaced the Charge about the same time as the Blaze was introduced, it's basically the next tier down from the Surge/Blaze.

(Current Blaze and former Surge and before that Flex user.)

I stand corrected!

Blaze is actually newer than Surge and has more features than Charge 2. It's the Fitbit that most competes with Apple Watch at present.

The Blaze still has a clock though, as far as I can tell.

I have a (very modest) collection of watches that I enjoy wearing but I also like the data collection of a Fitbit.

Which Fitbit? Seems like the Flex 2 wouldn't look bad next to a watch.

I have a Fitbit Charge 2. I wear the Fitbit on my right arm and my watch on my left, but I think it looks pretty stupid.
