    First you need to state what you intend using it for.
    e.g. if swimming waterproof would be handy! If cycling then GPS would be handy.....

    If you have a smartphone the H7 Polar and associated app is wonderful and priced nicely.

    I have a MiO Link - optical HR monitor that I wear on my forearm. It gives me more accurate readings than the one that goes around the chest. I had issues with chest strap ones. The Mio will work with your smartphone (Bluetooth) and with a Garmin (ANT+).

    I'm a big runner, cyclist and HIIT/Bootcamp classes at the gym. I use my HRM to accurately track my effort and then adjust my training accordingly.

    See this link for a good review of the MiO: dcrainmaker.com/2014/01/mio-link-first-look.html probably more info than you asked for.

    If purpose is for resting HR - index finger and a watch and opposite wrist or neck.

    Since it's not stated what it's to be used for.
