    The best heart rate monitors are the ones that use the chest strap.

    Have a look at the Polar FT series heart rate monitors. Folks here on MFP like those a lot. I've been using Polar HRMs for years. The calories counts are more accurate than Garmin, Timex, etc... I get my HRMs from heartratemonitorsusa.com, but there are also some good deals to be had from Amazon.com as well.

    If you have a smart phone, I have a polar blue tooth. I like it a lot.

    I love my Polar FT7 and when I got it, I really just wanted to track calories and workouts in zones... now that I have that,I wish I had spent a little more and gotten the FT40 so I could set my V02 max which means it would probably be a little more accurate. In any case, get one with a chest strap and depending on what you need it for, the FT4 or FT7 is probably more than enough.
