I currently have a Timex HRM. This one, to be specific:
http://www.amazon.com/Timex-T5G971-Unisex-Personal-Monitor/dp/B000P8VWQS/ref=sr_1_cc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1308080971&sr=1-1-catcorr

I have, effective 20m ago, superglued the face plate back onto the watch four times. I don't know if this particular watch wasn't actually designed to be an HRM/Watch combo, or if I'm unduly hard on it, or if it just can't handle the craziness that happens in life with a toddler, but it's making me insane. Twice, I've nearly lost the plate, and I'm now getting nervous I'll lose it somewhere in transit (I'm making an 8h drive on Thursday, for example) or in the pool, where I can't necessarily notice it's gone right away.

So here I am. Do you all have any suggestions for a good, durable HRM that can function as a watch 24/7? One that I won't need to superglue, and one that won't fall apart when I have to deal in the various craziness that comes with having kids? The biggest thing is DURABILITY. Anything else, I can make do, but it MUST BE DURABLE! ^_^
