I bought a HRM on ebay from hongkong for 8$. but to find out my Heart rate, i gotta push the button and then put my finger on the sensor, hold it there and itll tell me my HRM and calculate the calories i burn for the length of time I worked out...

    The best ones have a chest strap.

    I had one of those for a week before I realized it wouldn't do the job so I had to buy one with a chest strap.

    you got what you paid for. the ones that you wear on your arm all day and are always taking it are very accurate and helpful. that way you can find out how many calories you burn in a day much more accurately than just picking a lifestyle on this site.

    Not accurate at all. Sorry, you just wasted $8. Get one with a chest strap.

    There are certain items you simply can't skimp on - a good HRM being one of them. I own a Polar and got it on ebay for close to $80. I have typically used Polar and my personal trainer is also a major fan of this brand.

    I have a polar also, the FT4 and it's awesome! I highly recommend it!
