Does anyone know of a HRM that is not expensive but is still accurate? I cant pay $100 for one. Thanks in advance.

    When I go to the doc, they have all sorts of fancy equipment around but when they take my pulse they still do it the old fashioned way. If you are trying to monitor it while doing something to maximize the results you probably do need a HRM. If like most of us you just need to check it at stress points during your routine, two fingers and a watch will work fine.

    bump I"m curious about this as well, I've seen some inexpensive ones but not sure about them.

    I have this one and I love it. Came to $95 with tax. Very easy to set up and very easy to use.

  • The Polar FT4 for women is available at Amazon for $60.00. I've used Polar HR monitors for 20 years. Never had any complaints. Don't skimp on junk.

    I agree with the polar like the PP mentioned.
    I bought it for under 100 bucks and it has been one of the best investments I have made!
