I've heard the Polar FT4 or FT7 are both really good ones. You can get the FT4 as low as $63 on Amazon.com. I think the FT7 was only $15-20 more than that one.

I was just looking at that one but I can't tell if it comes w/ a chest strap??

Very wise decision. :-) Go for Polar. Make sure you get the womans one. Use your full budget to get the best spec that you can.

FT4 comes with the chest strap and wear link. I love love love it!

Polar FT4 user here too. Chest strap is nice and comfy, watch looks really smart too. Does the perfect job

I've got a polar p4. It was the best I could afford, £40 on ebay, it measures heart rate, calories burnt, minutes in the zone ( that's the fat burning zone) I would've loved a HRM with GPS but I couldn't afford one. I use Runkeeper app on my phone and my HRM and together they give me distance run and calories burnt.

Thanks! Do you think it is wise to purchase on ebay? I have gotten screwed buying something on there...but have found several still new in the box on there.

Do what you are comfortable with. I got mine @ Academy Sports & Outdoors for $70.

I've got the Polar FT7, and i like it a lot. You can find them online for under $100. Comes with a chest strap, and its works great.
