my new heart rate watch. Hubby got me a garmin fr70 for Christmas. Do I need to use the chest strap that checks the heart rate to count calories as well?

    Otherwise it's just an ugly watch

    You need the chest strap to transmit your heart rate to the watch, which is used to count calories. I have found the watches themselves to be ugly and as soon as I'm done exercising, I put my actual watch back on.
