Hello all! I am posting this topic because I am having a difficult time deciding which kind of heart rate monitor to buy for my workouts. I want one that counts calories, tells time, as well as, functions as a heart rate monitor! ![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)
For any of you that have one can you tell me about it and why you chose it?

Be sure to get one with a chest strap, they're more accurate than wrist or finger ones0

I went with the Polar after reading tons of reviews...it seems the most consistent, everyone seems to love them. I have the F11, However theres are many cheaper ones as well. Mine was about 1100

Get one with a chest strap... Recommend a Polar0

I have the Polar FT7. It does everything you're looking for plus logs everything over time. I really like it so far but I've only been using it for a couple of days.0

Spend the money and get a polar with a chest strap. This is one item that you get what you pay for - spend the extra money and it will be worth it.
Good Luck!0 -
I have the Polar F6 and I love it. :happy:0

I have a Polar FT7 as well. I did alot of research and read alot of product reviews online before getting it. It was the cheapest one for the features I wanted: I wanted a HRM that calculated calories burned. It was $88 new from Sears.
I've been using it for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it.
It does come with the chest strap and transmitter. I find the women's version of the watch a bit ugly (black and gold) but that is my only complaint. The chest strap is very comfortable. I've worn it for up to 3 hours with no discomfort and I'm fairly finicky.
Hope that helps!0 -
Thanks, everyone! Your feedback is great appreciated! Have a great weekend!0
