I just ordered a PolarFT4 from Heart Rate Monitor USA. That model and the FT7 are pretty popular. FT7 is slightly higher in price. It received really good ratings and was in my price range. I didn't want something too difficult to set up. Make sure you get one that allows the option to input your sex because I've found that monitors that don't will give you a reading much higher. For instance the calories burned will be almost double because it will assume that you are male. I just searched for ones that were specifically made for women to avoid that issue.

I will update you if you like once I test it out. Check Amazon, **** Sporting Store, and Heart Rate Monitor USA for their online feedback as a start and good luck!!

I love my Polar FT7, got in on Amazon for around $70, which is a great price. It is definitely worth the investment, its nice to see where you are at, if you need to pick up the pace or slow down, want to stay in the fat burning zone or focus more on fitness (cardio),
