Hi guys: My husband bought me a Garmin 305 for my birthday, but the HRM doesn't work for tracking calories for doing weights and other exercises :sad: . I would like to use it for tracking my calories for weights (Ripped DVDs) and an upcoming Bootcamp next month. Can anyone recommend a cheap HRM that will track calories etc.? Thanks!

  • I ordered the miopink motiva petite for 94 dollars...it's coming next week so I will let you know how accurate / worth the money it is!

    I got a Polar F6 at a local sporting goods store for $90 and it tracks calories burned! I even used it while cleaning the house the other day and it tracked everything.

    I got my Polar F6 (which I LOVE) off eBay for like $90, shipping and all. Also, if you register at www.kickitback.com, you can earn some of your money back. Also, my friend wanted me to find one for her, and she got it for $80 shipping and all. I also found it on eBay. Good luck!

    Thanks everyone, this is great. Does this watch also capture distance, pace etc. for running too?

    i bought a S12 one at walmart for $40 bucks so I didn't have to spend $109 bucks. I don't like it and wish I bought a more expensive one. I thought it would count calories for working out but it doesnt:grumble:

    I got a sportline solo 920 on clearence for $15, but so far I've had to send it in 2 times to be replaced. They are replacing it with a different model so I'm hoping it will be a good one. Anyone use the solo 920 of 925??
