    Polar FT4. Yes i love it. Counts calories and gives you where your heart rate should be. I got it for 60$ at bodytronics.com :)

    ^^^THIS! It's a great tool!

    I might be the only one who likes Sportine lol but I have the Sportline duo 1060 and really do like it.
    Yes it might not be the easiest to use at first but honestly only took me a hour or two to figure it out. Chest strap is a bit wonky sometimes but other than that it does the job and I am happy with it.

    To be honest I was going to go with the Polar FT4 but I got such a great deal on the Sportline I could refuse.

    What ever you decide at least you will have people behind you to tell you how to use them :) Good luck with your decision!

    Garmin Forerunner 305 it is great but it is also a GPS and a Heartrate monitor does pacing ect ect ect way more than a HRM. I can upload the data to their website see my runs, HR, pacing all on a nice graph and I use it primarly to run outside and I love it.

    Question for you all - I had a heart rate monitor several years back and one thing I really did not like about it was that the chest strap (where the transmitter was) would rub my skin raw. I almost always had a little scab especially after running.

    I would like another HRM but I don't want the damage to my skin.

    Has anyone had this problem or was it just the design of older models?

    My husband and I just got Garmin Forerunner 610s, they are amazing with the HR monitor, but it was pricey! They have gps which is really cool and a ton of features that I need to figure out.

    My run the other day was 290 calories. When I put it into myfitnesspal for that time and pace, it told me 380.. so myfitnesspal definitely overestimated. I am glad to have a more accurate number.
