Heart Rate Monitors???

I'm definitely wanting to get a heart rate monitor to make sure I'm really working as hard as I like to think and also so I can calculate calories burned more accurately. Does anyone have any suggestions on what brands/types/etc are best? I'm kind of lost and there's soooooo many to choose from. I can't afford an expensive one but I want one that will give an accurate reading of HR and calories burned. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Polar FT4 or FT7.. Look on amazon. They range from about 60-80 dollars on there.
I know some people will come in and suggest a Timex that is around 40 on amazon, and i beg you to disregard those suggestions, as Timex is awful at calculating calories burned for women.0
