HRM what do you use and why?

I use a Mio Alpha wristwatch HRM (I don’t like messing with the chest strap), linked through Bluetooth to the Digifit app. I have been happy with it so far (it was a Christmas present so I haven’t had it long).
I use it for all exercise, even non-steady state. It is less reliable for things like strength training, but it does give me roughly the same calories per minute burn rate as tables I’ve found online, so it is as good a method as any for figuring out my calorie burn.
Hubby had bought a Mio and confirmed through testing that it was accurate, and I was thrilled with the idea not dealing with a chest strap, so he bought me one.
But I saw the launch of the new Galaxy Gear Fit, and I'm now drooling for one of those!!
Edit: Digifit is an awesome app too!!0
