Why are there no heart rate monitor watches that use wrist pulse points to avoid either a chest strap or two-finger touches?

There are, just look harder. :) And look at the higher price mark. :).

Yes they are available though a little expensive but they are in market.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
