Good morning all! I was thinking about getting a HRM and would love some feedback on the one you have. Likes/dislikes?

    i use the android app one. It measures your HR through the camera - tried and tested by medical professionals alongside the 'industry standard' and is apparently surprisingly accurate.

    I have the Polar FT60. It was $150 on amazon.com I love it! I've never heard a negative report on any Polar HRM! I recommend any polar. Just read about them and see which one fits what you want!

    I'm liking my Polar FT7 b/c it is easy to use. I use it to measure calories burned. I chose this one b/c it received good reviews.

    Polar FT7 - Likes----EVERYTHING! Dislikes----None. Worth the money for sure! Just make sure, when you get one, that the HRM has a chest strap. Mine is really comfortable and I doesn't bother me at all.

    New balance N4. Bought one for my daugher and myself 3 months ago, and use daily. Around $40. Easy to program and use (saying something cause I'm rather stupid about technology).

    Reebok Precision XT. Have had it for over 5 years now and only have had to replace the watch band from using it so much. And that was only $10.

    Definately! I love my Polar FT4! Measures calories burned, minutes you worked out, stores your workout sessions for you, has the chest strap (a MUST), and tells you whether you are under, in, or above your fat burning zone (which it deternines by your actual weight, height, and gender). I love it. Does everything I need it to.

    I agree... Polar is definately the way to go!
