HRM Advice

skierxjes

So, I've been googling and reading and reviewing and searching and shopping for the best HRM.

Is it possible to get one that is:
Easy to use (continuous, preferably)
Strapless
Tells you your calories burned
Does not cost over $100 (preferably quite a bit under $100)

Would love to know those answers too!!

I really think the strapless ones are less reliable. If you are worried about comfort, I don't even notice mine. (except for a bit more sweat right in that area!!)

Look on ebay. I got a gowearfit by body media. Look this up on ebay or look under body bugg. This is an armband that you can wear up to 23 hours a day. It tells you how many steps you take, calories you burn and even how long you sleep at night. You do have to have a monthly subscription for this, but it is a great device.

Check out Academy many choices, many prices. I use the Polar FT7 has a chest strap....

I bought one from Wal~mart yesterday and I ran it with my treadmill. I kept checking and my calorie counter ran just a little higher than what my treadmill did, but I have been told in the past that I was shorting myself in the calories burned and time on the treadmill. It was around $29.00 and it is a watch. I am still in the trial stages, but I am satisfied so far.

The ones that have a chest strap, where do you wear it?

For girls right under their breast....

I use the polar ft7. Although it has a strap, its very comfortable. I also noticed that amazon sells a polar sports bra that has the little plug points for the transmitter (which I guess would technically make it strapless). Not sure what the pricing is.

I have the Polar F17 and love it. I don't feel the strap.

That sounds interesting might have to have a look at that.

I have the Polar FT7. Got it on Amazon for about $70. The chest strap is adjustable and made of cloth rather than rubber, so it is comfortable to wear. If you're used to wearing a bra, you will hardly notice it.

I ordered one. Hopefully it's not junk!!

I got the Sportline 915 Women's Solo Heart Rate Watch

I really hope this will help me!

Thanks for all the input!
