    I use a Polar FT4 so pretty bog standard basic. But it's fine for my current needs; swimming, running, spinning. It also syncs with the machines at my gym.

    Can anyone recommend a sports watch that has the following features:
    • Chest-strap style heart rate monitor
    • Syncs with myFitnessPal via bluetooth to the phone

    I've grown fond of my Polar FT7 (and some other models) but it doesn't have an autonomous syncing functionality.
    you can buy the separate base for the FT7 so it will sync to your pc and I think your phone(not sure on the phone though). http://www.amazon.com/Polar-Flowlink/dp/B004QOW1IU

    Just a couple of thoughts..... the 3 polar HR watches I have purchased - the chest strap battery could be replaced easily. The watch must be shipped back to the manufacturer at a cost of $40. The timex HR watch/strap the battery in both can be easily replaced. However the mechanical part of the strap snaps into the actual band. The watch arrived from amazon & the snaps simply did NOT line up with the mechanical piece. Also - look at the watch strap - most can not be replaced.
    I have an FT7 and I can change the battery myself on the watch. it has where you can take the battery cover off to replace the battery
