Hi guys!! I really need to get a good heart rate monitor for working out, but I'm having trouble finding a good one with positive reviews that is not too expensive. I'm on a college budget right now (so not a lot haha) so I can't spend too much.

Does anyone have any suggestions on brands or places I can look?

    Polar FT7 - but no GPS so not great for running if you need to track distance. I just use Map My Run when I get home.
    Good luck.

    If you have a Best Buy near you give them a look. I walked in one today and found a ridiculously low price on a Polar FT60 *with* GPS!!! It's mine now!

    Polar are best if you get them in a good sale. I just bought a Sigma PC 15 and it was soo cheap - less than £40! Really simple to use too.No GPS just simple calories and HR training zones - all you need really.

    Only thing is I tested it today and it told me I only burnt 170 cals in level 1 of the 30 day shred and I thought it would be more - ah well best to know the truth! :)
    Good luck.
