I really would like to buy one this weekend so I know exactly how many calories I'm burning. What are your recommendations?

    I recently bought the Polar FT60 and I love it!! It's easy to set up, easy to use, and easy to read during work outs.

    Here it is on Amazon...

    I got one that was listed as "used" on Amazon (warehouse deals) and it came in a sealed box and was 50 bucks cheaper than the full price one!

    Thanks! I'll look into that one. :)

    I have the Polar FT4 and I love it! I bought mine off Amazon for around $60.

    I just got the Polar FT7 a few days ago and I love it so far! I read tons of reviews before finally taking the plunge and purchasing. I was nervous about buying something like this online w/o ever seeing one in person, but I am so glad I did! *Almost* makes me look forward to exercising! :o) I've worn it running, weight lifting and doing laps in the pool with no problems. It even sync's with the gym equipment, which I didn't know it did.
    You can get it from soap.com for about $65 with their 20% off coupon and free shipping.
