Favourite heart rate / calorie tracker?

Hello all, I'm looking into buying a heart rate monitor but I really need one that won't break the bank. Mainly wanting it so it can properly calculate my calories burned seeing as my elliptical and mfp say something completely different! Sorry if this has been asked before.

    Look for a model with a chest strap. Those measure constantly and you don't need to be still...or push anything to take a pulse.

    I like my Polar FT4

    I have just gotten the Wahoo TCKR heart rate monitor and so far am loving it. It is a chest strap style and feeds directly to my iphone app via blue tooth!

    I just got a polar Ft4 and I have only gotten to use it for 2 workouts so far, but I love it.
