I have a few questions about heart rate monitors. which style are people liking? Arm? Wrist? chest? Any brands you like? I want one that does calories as well as heartrate. Any help would be great!! Thanks! :smile:

    The Polar HRMs seem to be the most popular on this website. I bought a Timex T5G971 but not sure how accurate it is. It shows me burning 3-4 calories a minute when the norm is around 1.

    I just ordered the Polar FT7 from Amazon.

    i was just researching the same thing and came across a consumer reports that rated the timex your best buy. it includes a HRM and calories burned. i think i'm going to try it. used to have a MIO years ago. always wondered how accurate they are though...
