Armband-type solution?

[terobaje]

Has anyone found a way to wear the watch higher up on their arm during workouts? I have found the heart-rate to be more accurate if I wear it a bit higher up than the wrist; however, I haven't found a band that is either comfortable to wear for about an hour or a band that does not slip after I start sweating. Has anyone found a solution to this?

How do you typically wear a watch? It is designed to be worn above the wrist. From the sound of your description, you're not wearing it tight enough to begin with. During exercising I always snug it up one hole tighter than I normally wear it.

I have tried the "snug" method as well and it is still nowhere as accurate as if I wear it a bit higher during workout. When I am rested/not working out, it works well if I just have it slightly above the wrist.

Your description of how you're wearing at rest sounds like me. I don't move it up any higher, I just snug it up. Your radial pulse shouldn't be any higher than mine.
