I don&#8217;t need one that can hold a philosophical discussion with my CatEye OS1.0 on the objective viewpoint as espoused by Kant, although I&#8217;m sure Fingal would be delighted if I bought one that could.

I can&#8217;t afford to spend a couple of hundred mackerel on an HRM, and I don&#8217;t care if it has a foot pod with a flashy red light on it.
