I would like to buy one, as I hear that they are great for tracking calories. I don't eat back my calories, but it would be nice to know how much I am burning. Do you guys have any recommendations on which ones are the most accurate or comfy? Or convenient. Thanks all! :)

    If all you want is calories burned for a specific workout then a cheaper Polar would be a good fit. I am doing more running/walking/hiking and wanted to also track distance and my phone app would lose reception. So I got a Garmin Forerunner 110 it has GPS for accurate distance and the heart rate monitor chest strap. I am really enjoying it. It also helps me to move faster when walking to get my heart rate up higher.
