Can you guys give me some tips on finding a relatively inexpensive, yet accurate HRM? I've heard there are some that double as watches? Any info would be so helpful

    I have the Polar FT4. I love it. Got it off Amazon for 61.00!

    It comes with everything you need to use it....chest strap, transmitter and watch.

    This is a great one.

    OP: You wont find a cheaper good HRM than the Polar FT4. Make sure you get one with a chest strap.

    I got mine from Target, it's a New Balance and it costs less than $80. It has watch and chest strap. I can only assume it's accurate, since I don't have any other experience to compare it to, but I am pretty certain it is accurate. It is easy to use and it does have a watch function, as well.

    I have a FT4 also. I recently purchased it at ****'s SPORTING goods. I paid about 80 bucks for it, that included a warranty. I love it. The transmitter and chest strap fit comfortably and it's very accurate. I read up on HRM's and this one is simple to use and does exactly what I want.

    I Have a Timex t5g971 I have had it since March and love it. I got it at Amazon. It rates right up there with the Polar's.

    Have had a REEBOK PRECISION XT for 5 years now! As a trainer it's been great since not only can I see heart rate, but calories burned!
