    I love my Polar F11, but I also hear good things about the F6.

    Don't know much about other brands, but it had all the features I needed.:flowerforyou:

    The polar F11 is about $160 and is nice to have a training program that takes the guess work out of how long and how hard. The f6 is just a HRM that is coded and is about $100 new. I have also heard good things about Omron. Some people like the Reebok, but I wasn't that impress with the feel when I played with them.

    I have the Polar FT60G1. It has the GPS unit. I have had problems with it since day 1 and I am sending it back. However, in general I like Polar I think I just got a dud.

    The other one people really seem to like when I was reading was the Garmin 50.

    Good Luck.:flowerforyou:

    I would choose the F11 over the F6. With the F11 the chest strap battery can be replaced by you, unlike the F6 chest strap. Also, I found the F11 strap to be more comfortable.
    Another thing, the best prices I have found have been on Ebay.
