    I was just reading online you can get apps on your phone for the heart rate monitor it goes through your bluetooth. :bigsmile:

    Those don't read well. My husband tried it.

    Bummer...

    And by expensive, I don't mean a LOT more money. Just not that HRM. Maybe $20 or $30 more. Because think of it this way. If you buy it and don't like it after a few months, then you're going to go out and and buy a new and better one on TOP of already spending the $27. Just my two cents from a lesson learned the hard way! :grumble:

    You all are enablers!!! Now I have to leave the message board & surf the net to see which HRM I want to get. LOL :laugh: My pocketbook is not thanking you.

    I just dropped $100 at Walmart on shoes, pedometer, HRM, and a DVD! :laugh:
    If you ask me, it's a small price to pay for better health and a longer life :)

    Polar is a comfortable chest strap, usually sold with a stylish watch display. Mine shows me the calories I'm burning as I burn them, and I feel it is pretty darn accurate. It was $100. With HRMs, I feel that you get what you pay for.

    What's the difference between wearing a HRM all day and a body bugg? Would they both tell you how many total calories you burned? Or am I missing something?

    a body bugg is specifically tailored to monitor calories burned all day. An HRM is made for workouts only
