Help me find a good Heart Rate monitor + Calorie counter

norie92

I need a heart rate monitor + calorie counter.

I'm on a bit of a budget, can't go much over $20-$25.

Any good ones on Amazon?

Thanks all.

I know that they have excellent ones on beachbody.com but they are about 75......I haven't tried Amazon though

I can tell you that you will not find one worth buying for that cheap.

Trust me. When I bought mine I looked and looked because I didn't have much to spend. But the finger tip ones are not accurate, and very annoying to use.

I found a Timex Fitness HRM and calorie counter for under $50 (including shipping) on Ebay and it's worked great for me.

Yep, expect to spent more than $25.

I have a Polar FT4 and I love it, but it was about $80 on Amazon.

Yep, I think the only way to get a good one for that low is through eBay. I found my $70 New Balance N4 on eBay, brand new in the box, for $26. I had several different models on my watch list (Polars and New Balance), and just watched them. If someone else bid them too high, oh well, on to the next one. Only took about a week of watching & being patient, and I scored the NB for cheap. Works great, I've been very happy with it.

Kind of a long shot, but you could always check Craigslist, too. I saw one for sale in my area awhile back for $25 - I would have gone for it but I already had mine.

Good luck!

For 20-25 dollars you will not find a good one that is going to last.. You are going to have to spend at least 60 if you want a decent one.

Personally I like Polar.. Had a Timex and I felt it gave a very inflated calorie estimation.

definitely look at amazon & Overstock.com

timex and polar are 2 great brands to get. i think u'll spend less than $100 for either
