    I have a Sigma 10.11, I think it's fantastic, particularly because it wasn't too expensive and it is very easy to use. It was NZ$70, not sure if they have them in the states.

    FT4 here too. I wear it for my workouts. For the rest of the day I have my Fitbit.

    Ditto - exactly... :tongue:

    Love my Polar FT40. In addition to having the user-changeable battery, it also does a resting heart rate test to estimate your VO2 max which makes it more accurate than models that just use your gender, height, and weight.

    Garmin 405 CX. My wife gave it to me for Christmas, and I really like it. I like the web interface; I really like the maps, for example. It beeps on the mile and gives me my time for the last mile. I wasn't crazy about the chest strap, but now I only notice it much. I do have to tighten it about every two weeks, because I've been losing weight. Face is big enough to read time or HR as I run.

    It's far stingier that this site on calories burned, and since I'm eating them back (or drinking them back) I'm going with MFP numbers for that.

    I recently bought the Polar FT7 - LOVE IT!!! I got it on Amazon for about $72 with free shipping. Much cheaper than in the stores. It does everything I need, and is simply to use (if you are technologically challenged) :)

    Same here. I absolutely love it! :)

    I scored on a $19 one in the clearance aisle at walmart...say what you will ..it's pretty darn close to my fit bit counting steps AND I did my heart rate via another website and it's pretty damn close to there too..and it's a watch. I LOVE it.
