Where to buy an HRM?

hewwokitty

I'm thinkin of asking my fiance for an HRM for Christmas...where's a good place to get em?
Walmart.com has cheapo ones, not sure if I'd trust it...the only place I've seen them in store is ****'s Sporting Goods.

If you want any chance at accuracy, be sure to get one with a chest strap. That way it is monitoring you heartrate continuously as it changes throughout your excercise. The ones that are 'just' a watch without a chest strap require you to 'touch' them every now and then to take your heartrate - so it only looks at a few points in time rather than your complete continuous heartrate.

I bought mine at Target (polar ft4) but apparently it is significantly cheaper on amazon.

I got my Polar FT7 for about $65 on Amazon. I've seen quite a few people that purchased from heartratemonitorsusa.com as well.

I got mine at Best Buy and I bought the additional $15 warranty. Best investment ever. Its broke on me twice. I took it in and they handed me a new one, right then in there. I think mine is a Polar F4 or F7. Its the gold looking one. LOVE IT!

LOL. Oh my, I didn't realize they would. I actualy have a ten dollar off gift card for Amazon so that sounds like a good plan.
I remember having the ones with chest straps in gym class at school. That's what I wanted but I figured they'd be significantly higher in price.
