    I have always used Polars. They are accurate, reliable, sturdy and have been in the business for many, many years. You don't need all the bells & whistles included in the fancier models. No matter what you decide, I wouldn't bother with one that doesn't include a chest strap.

    I agree without a chest strap, forget it. I would SAVE or look for a used POLAR, it's worth the money. I got one on sale for 100 on amazon. I would rather spend 50 more and get something that is accurate and that I can use for years.

    eww.
    Im not a germaphobe or anything.. but a used heartmonitor is like a used jockstrap.
    The chest band sits there in your sweat...soaking it up (it needs the moisture for the electrical contacts).

    a used one would be nasty. lol
