I'm looking for a way to accurately (well, as accurately as possible) count my burned calories, so I'm wondering what would be my best bet for a relatively good price?

    Polar FT4/FT7.

    Both give a pretty accurate calorie estimation and are between 60-100 dollars depending on where you buy it.

    Polar is the best and most reliable. I have had mine for 5 years now and it is still working great. Battery has been replaced twice.

    I got the New Balance N4 for around $55, it has worked well for me, and does all the same things as the FT4. I love it.

    Just remember that if it doesn't have a chest strap, it's not worth your time.

    I had a Pyle, it worked okay for a couple of weeks then started acting crazy, now I have a Polar FT4 and I LOVE IT! :)))

    I have an Polar FT4... they say polar is the most accurate and the FT4 is most reasonably priced polar. Make sure you have a chest strap

    FT7 is only $5 more, wonder if it's worth it :)

    Kelly, does that go around the arm or on the wrist?
