What's your recommendation on a brand/model HRM? What should I be looking for?

    I've been using my Polar FT7 religiously during my cardio workouts. I love ALMOST everything about it. It's tracked every single workout since I got it. Is easy to use, accurate, and not uncomfortable (I thought those chest straps would be an issue).

    I'm not fully in love with it because I love easy access to graphs/charts, etc. Those things motivate me. The data with the watch is only located within the watch. I think if I had a do-over I'd get the Polar H7 which is a blue-tooth band that connects to your smart phone. The watch works great for runners that don't stick to gyms. Since I'm a gym person and not a runner (outside of course), then I think it would have been better for me.

    So, look at what you're going to be using it for and find what works best for you. :smile:
