HRM Questions: Kinda Dumb Questions

I just wanted to know what a good HRM is? I see a lot of people use the Polar ft4, but my question is what does it do? Does it do calories burned, heart rate, how far you've gone, etc? I know this is kind of a dumb question but I have no idea. I want something that will tell me my calories burned, heart rate, how far I've walked/ran etc, and how long it took me, things like that. Please help, thanks!

    Polar FT4 does tell you you're heart rate and calories burned. In order to track distance you need one with a GPS, and that would be the Polar FT60 with GPS or a Garmin(not exactly sure what models).
    The ones with a GPS tend to be a lot pricer then the ones without.
