strapless heart rate monitors???

cinditree

I am looking for a heart rate monitor, I want it to take my heart rate and estimate calories burned. Has anyone had good luck with any of the strapless versions? The mio drive.....e-pulse 2? Has anyone tried them and what do you recommend? Or is it better to get one with a strap? If I go with the strap I am thinking about a Garmin with GPS, but not sure I need one so fancy.

suggestions please :happy:

the ones with chest straps are more accurate, i would go with one of those.

I returned my strapless one to wal-mart and ordered a bowflex model amazon.

Get one with a strap.. Preferably a Polar as they tend to be the most accurate in estimating calories burned.

They have a GPS model, it's the FT60... On amazon its about 123, but normally retails for around 200. The most popular Polars though are the FT4 and FT7.

The ft4 is 55 shipped Amazon and the ft7 is 71 shipped... I ordered the ft7 for 72 expedited shipping a couple days ago when the FT4 WAS still 65 ..... I should have waited
