    Can you get a watch with HRM without having to wear the strap around your chest?

    You can, check out the (forthcoming) garmin 225 as an example.

    There are a few of these around from different companies.

    I'm pretty sure you can, you'd need to charge them every few days but apart from that there should be no issue with wearing it all the time.

    I had one of these when I started running and found it grand for my needs then , If heart rate monitor is main interest it'll do that job fine for you. Not sure if the same deal is available in other stores, they are usually €20, Aldi do a similar one , it was on recently so could well still be in stock in the stores.
