Hi All,
I'm looking into purchasing a heart rate monitor. I'm hoping to find one (watch-style) that will also display distance/speed ran, as I am training for a 10k and half marathon. I've been doing research online, but I know MFP peeps have a wealth of knowledge!
I really appreciate feedback and suggestions.

I just bought one from Walmart. I had posted a question on the calories burn. I was told it is not accurate and to get the watch with the rib/chest strap.
Good luck.0 -
Yea, if your looking for calories burned watch style only ones are not going to cut it.. you need the chest strap. Plus something like a foot-pod to track the distance.
Look at Garmin or Polar FT60.. I know the FT60 for sure has a GPS and tracks distance. Not sure which Garmin's have a GPS, but I'm sure someone else will chime in with that info.0 -

This is pretty much the same thing I was going to say. Definitely need one with a chest strap to get an accurate heart rate reading and for distance/speed readings, you're going to need one with GPS. There are a few different models, how much you spend will depend on how technical you want it to be.0 -
watch style with pedometer included is available at Modell's...it was $70.0
