Can anyone give advice on Heart Rate Monitor Watches? x

Options
Hi Guys,

I am looking to buy a heart rate monitor watch and I am really struggling because there are so many to pick from. I am looking to spend roughly £50.

I have just started working out and I usually do aerobic and I do alot of walking. I am about to start workout classes at the gym and I workout to Davnia McCall fit in 15.

I want to know if there are any HRM out there that monitors your heart rate with and without a chest strap?

Are HRM watches any good? What types are people using? What would people recommend?

Thanks alot!
