For athletes like runners and cyclists, fitness trackers and smartwatches make it easy to track your heart rate. Of course, they also track your steps, your sleep, your stress, and your text messages, which is why they're so expensive. If you're not keen on adding yet another wearable or smart device to your life, there are still ways to track your heart rate as you exercise.

Today at Amazon, the popular Garmin HRM-Dual Heart Rate Monitor is on sale for just $46.93. This brings the list price of $69.99 down by 33%, just a hair above its lowest-ever price, according to Amazon price tracker camelcamelcamel. If you're looking for a good heart rate monitor deal, today is a smart time to click "Add to cart."

The Garmin Heart Rate Monitor is a hit among athletes and Prime shoppers. Amazon reports that 7,000 people bought this wearable heart rate monitor last month, The HRM-Dual makes tracking your heart rate while you exercise super simple. The wearable device has a soft and washable strap that fits snugly below your chest, positioning it for an accurate read. The heart rate module picks up real-time data and uses Bluetooth to send it to your fitness app, device, or smart exercise machine of choice.

Incredibly, this device has a 3.5-year battery, so you may never need to charge it once you set it up. We also appreciate that the strap is removable, so you can toss it in the washing machine after a heavy workout. Some users have complained about connectivity problems with Garmin Connect on iOS or certain devices, but workarounds are available. Syncing apps like Zwift with other Garmin devices seems to do the trick.

If you're an athlete who wants to track their heart rate, or if you already use a Garmin smartwatch or bike computer, the HRM-Dual is a no-brainer.
