I currently have the Garmin Forerunner 110 HRM and like it, except for one thing - I can't see how many calories I've burned while in the middle of a workout. I can see the time elapsed & heart rate, but it would be *nice* to see how many calories I've burned 'so far'.

Does anyone have one that does that, and if so, which model do you have?

    Just bought a NewBalance N4 (mid price about $70 at Target) that continuously shows calorie burned count and heartrate! Love it! I did see many that are HRM and Pedometers. Some of those didn't count calories. Suggestion - search Amazon - they have loads of HRMs.

    I have the Polar FT4 - it gives you a constant reading as you scroll through the 4 displays available during workout:

    - amount of time you're been working out along with the current time
    - calorie burned
    - heart rate
    - where your heart rate is in your "zone"

    P.S. Congrats on your weight loss! That is impressive!!

    Most/all Polar HRMs will do this.

    I have a Polar, don't know the model because I have had it for, like, 12 years. Even as old as it is, I can see my calorie burn throughout the workout. Someone earlier said most if not all Polar HRM have that option, I would believe that.
