I have the Polar F4 that I got off the web for just under $80...but I think it's more in the stores. People mention Mio all the time. That might be one to look into and Reebok. Yesterday woot.com had a Pro-Fitness for $20...but it ended last night:frown: Maybe more people will have some more options for you as well.

I have a Polar F6 and I LOVE it. It was a gift, but I believe retail it goes for around $109. I would have bought it myself though because I never work out without it.

I also find it keeps me honest because the calorie burn MFP calculates for physical activity is always off from what I really burn. This has helped me with my nutrition and diet.

I think I am leaning towards the Polar F4 blue heart rate

That is the one I just posted about. I think I am going to get that one.

I was looking at that one too and dediced that some things are worth the investment especially since fitness is a life change and not just something temporary. I think I may have to make my choice between the F4 and the F6 which are about a 25 dollar difference so overall that is not that bad.

I went with the F4 because 1. I couldn't afford more and 2. It was all I need for now. I have a exact number of burned calories now when I work out. The other Polar models have more programs (I think), but for walking....this is enough! Good luck!

I love my blue F4!

Get the REEBOK XT! You can get it on ebay for super cheap. It's half the price of polars and it works just as well. Plus you can change the batteries yourself, you don't have to send it off!
