Heart rate monitor while paddling?

Hi there,
I’m looking for a waterproof HRM device that can log while paddling, ideally a wrist sensor (I am imaging wearing under a dry suit, upper forearm) that could also connect to a phone so that I can see the monitored rate while paddling. Any leads on a decent sensor for this? Anyone try this? Hoping for something fairly simple, maybe link this one, and not a full Garmin ($$$) solution. I really only need the HRM feature.

Seeing lots of variable reviews though, so hoping this community has a good lead on a reliable product.

Thanks!

Dave the Kayaker has some reviews.

Thanks! He has lots of reviews for sure, but looks like he leans towards smartwatches, which I’m leaning against as I’d like to wear this until a dry suit and won’t be able to see it when paddling. I don’t see him doing much in the way of reviews for just heart rate monitoring devices either. But any other suggestions welcome! And thanks for responding!

Good for racing maybe.
I have never given in much thought paddling for 60 years.
Now I have heart issues and monitor my heart rate and O2 all the time.
