any reviews? pros? cons?

any other better heart rate monitor/calorie counter watches better than this or a favorite of yours?

    I've got one. No complaints. That is an awesome price! I paid $90 for mine at ****s.

    Apparently I'm not allowed to type D!ck's.....As in D1ck's Sporting Goods.

    That is a great price. I have a different version of a Polar F4 and it was 90 as well, but I got it online not from D!ck's and apparently you aren't allowed to type that.

    I purchased another brand HRM and it was hit or miss on picking up an accurate beat. I returned it and got a Polar FT4 for 70.00 on amazon, and I love it. consistent, easy to use, isn't messed up by other electronic signals or HRMs. It even works (mostly) while swimming in chlorine (but not in saltwater).

    yeah I bought one from shopko that is a S7 7-function ecg heart rate watch/calorie counter and i think it might have taken a crap on me... i have only had it for about 2 weeks or so... I did jillian's killer buns and thighs a couple days ago and it said I burned 500 calories... then I did the same workout last night and it said I only burned 48 calories! hmmm something must be wrong lol

    and last week I went for about an hour and a half- two hour walk at moderate pace and it said i only burned 125 so I am thinking it failed on me....

    I just reset it last night and I am going to try using it again tonight and see if it changed at all, but I am thinking it won't so trying to find a new one!
