    I have a wrist one and I like it. I recently got one with a chest strap and the wrist one and the chest strap one are nearly identical in the calories burned, so I assume it was pretty accurate.

    I would hate to say with HRMs, you pretty much get what you pay for.

    Honestly using just a watch HRM is a waste of money. YOu need that chest strap to get your most accurate HR

    I hate to sound like a salesman, but you can find a good chest strap HRM for around $30 if you hunt around. I use sites like slickdeals.net, 1saleaday.com, or woot.com. I got a 'last-years' model (Bowflex) HRM with chest strap for $30. It normally retails for at least double that.
