I've a premium HR strap which I got with my Edge.
there is little to no difference between that and the wrist HR in the Vivoactive 3 after countless tests using the Strap on the Vivoactive, Forerunner & Edge

Yeah, I think they're reasonably accurate these days, but struggle when fluctuating to higher HR when doing intervals etc. The Garmin is definitely much more accurate than my last two devices. On an easy jog, they were putting me up into the 160's when I knew I was in the 140s at most.
