I know this has been answered before but...

I'm looking for a step counter, calorie counter, water proof, heart rate monitor that I can wear around my wrist. I want one that I can enter my weight, etc. so that it is as accurate as possible. I know many have mentioned different ones, but I wasn't looking for one at the time so I didn't really pay attention. Anyhow, thanks for your help in advance!

Wrist HRM's are actually notoriously inaccurate. If you're going for accuracy, you need a chest strap. Pedometers count steps and are super cheap, but I don't know of any HRM/step counters aside from the Body Bugg which runs about $300.

I have a Polar F4 that I think works wonderfully. It does have a chest strap, though.

Oh...it doesn't really have to have a pedometer to count steps. The main thing is the heart rate and the calorie counter. Thanks for letting me know about the inaccuracy of wrist hrm's! I almost bought one last night, but I thought I had better ask all of you first!

Oh, shoot. I missed the fact that you wanted a step counter. The F4 doesn't do that. Sorry!

I thought a strap would be annoying but I hardly notice that it is there AT ALL. I got the Rebok XT HRM and it works just fine. Got it brand new off Ebay for $40. I it!
