    It goes under :smile: . Like wear the band of your sports bra goes. And they are only designed to be accurate during exercise. There should be the strap, and then a watch for you to actually view your HR/cal/etc.

    Before making a big investment, you might want to read this:

    HRMs can be great tools, but if you are just buying one for calorie counting, you can spend a lot of $$$, and end up with no more accuracy than just making up a number out of thin air.

    I love my FT60. Personally, I find it's a great motivational tool.

    And spending some $$ will make you feel even more obliged to actually use the thing.
