Junemom- could you stand to wear another watch??
One solution to your problem would be to get a basic HRM, plus buy a sport watch that does multiple intervals. Wear a watch on each wrist. This is what I do for my walk/run marathon training- though I'm not really trying to get into different heartrate intervals- I'm just trying to keep track of my heartrate, plus do my walk/run intervals.
The watch I use is the Timex Iron Man Triathlon 100 LAP. It is important that it be the 100 LAP (!!) watch- not 100 meters, or 8 laps, or anything else like that! This watch allows you to set up to 9 different intervals, which sounds like what you want! You can even set it for continuous mode- which is what I need and use for those 5 hour marathons! Walmart has it on-line for 41.73, which is as cheap as I have ever seen it- except for mine, which I got in a special one-day deal at Target for 39.99. Never have seen it that low again! http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...2695&dept=3891 Timex also has the Woman's Rush VO2- but that only allows you TWO intervals (though they can be continuous). So I don't think that is what you want! Anyway- having a basic HRM and an interval watch is a LOT cheaper then a HRM with intervals. Hope this helps.
