I am interested in getting a heart rate monitor watch (the one you wear on your wrist). I want it to track my calories burnt more so than my actual heart rate. I do NOT want a monitor where I have to also wear a band on my chest (or anywhere else). It'd be a bonus if the watch was also GPS capable to track how far I've run and how long it took me. Does a monitor like this exist? If so, what brand, website, etc? Also if so, and you have one, do you like it?

    The watches you wear on your wrist only require you to keep regularly touching a little sensor pad and are wildly inaccurate. If you want a GPS tracker you'll need to look at Garmin probably. The chest straps on new monitors are made of a really soft fabric and don't feel any different than the band of your bra.
