So, Runkeeper is an awesome app that tracks your running routes by GPS and gives you information on your runs. It has an option for HR tracking. When I click on it, it takes you to the "Runkeeper Store." It shows me this product http://store.runkeeper.com/shop/product/fitness_sensors/RK_POLAR

Does anyone know how well these wireless HRM straps work? I really would like to invest in it if it is good. It is wireless, so no need for cords or extra equipment because it bluetooths to your phone!

What do you all think? Will this do calorie counting? If not, what HRMs are good for calorie calculating from my HR?

    I have the app for i phone and I tried it and it works horrible in my area!! I walked 2 miles in less than 30 minutes and it was telling me that i had 2 hrs to go! lol,, If you don't have perfect service it doesn't work that well. But i live in a small town in the country.
    :( I hope it works good for you!!
