Hey! I need to purchase a HRM and I skimmed through a bunch of threads, but I need people's opinions.

I can only spend about $60-70 maximum. What is the best heart rate monitor I can purchase with my budget?

So here are my questions:
1) What kind do you have?
2) Where did you purchase it?
3) How much did it cost?
4) HOW ACCURATE IS IT?

Thank you everyone, in advance! :smile: :smile: :smile:

    1) Polar F4
    2) It was a gift for Christmas, but it was bought online from a website like ebay, I believe.
    3) About 60
    4) I love it. It works very well.

    I just picked up the polar ft60 today, my local Best buy had it on clearance for 90 instead of the online cost of 255. All the reviews I read on it make it seem like a good product with tones of features.

    I have a Polar FT7 HRM that I bought for $120 at Academy. I love it and use it everyday. I've had no problems with it so far.
