    Make sure it continuously monitors you HR. I got a MIO watch and it requires you to test your rate, which it then records you at until you test again. DUMB!

    One of the most important features to look for in a HRM is a chest strap so that your HR is constantly monitored.

    All of the Polar FT series have a pretty good reputation for reliability, the FT4 and FT7 are both very affordable. One thing to watch out for is that most HRMs will overstate your calories burned to some degree as many of them don't back off your BMR (calories you would have burned if you'd been lying in bed for that last 45 minutes instead of running).
