What HRM do you use?

I am looking to buy a HRM that will track heartrate, average heart rate, and calories burned...Those are the basic requirements. If it could track target heart rate, distance traveled, and something else important that I can't think of, then that's cool too!

    Ive had a Mio classic for about a year now and I love it. Its a HRM without the chest strap, but lately Ive been questioning how accurate that could be without being near my heart so I purchased a Polar ft4 and its supposed to be here today. Ive only heard awesome things about Polar ft4 so we'll see. Ill let you know how it compares to the wrist HRM.

    I just got the Polar FT4 about a week ago. It was about $65 on amazon. It tracks calories, average HR, highest HR and how long I'm in the "zone" :) It opened my eyes as to how much MFP was over calculating my calories burned. It also beeps when my HR starts to get lower so I know to put in a little more effort.

    I have a Garmin FR60 and I really like it!! Keeps track of mileage, heart rate, calories. I swear this thing will do everything but run for you! Mine came with a chest strap and foot pod.

    I use the Bowflex Precision Trainer XT. I love this thing, it lasts a long time, it's very accurate and easy to use. I use it for every workout. Not sure if this is the case with all HRM's but mine has the chest strap.
