Athletic Watches

Hello! I have been thinking about getting an athletic watch to help me count my calories and keep me thinking about my goals. I have been looking at some on line, but I can't find one that seems to stand out. Which ones are good and are they really worth the money?

Before my injuries, I was using the Polar FT60. I LOVE it and would highly recommend. I especially liked how at the end of the week, I would get a trophy from the watch if I met my goals. Sometimes, it's the little things...

I love the Garmin FR70! I can use it indoors in the gym, or outside on the trail.

Thanks! I was looking at the Mio Active Connect. I like how it connects to MyFitnessPal, but I'll look into the other watches that you talked about.

I have a Garmin FR410, and I love it. It connects to the footpod and hrm, and I can load specific workouts on it. It's great both indoors and outdoors. Plus it is a multi-sport watch, biking and running. With the Garmins you can link it to an Endomondo account which auto imports into MFP.

Another vote for Garmin: I have the 610 and am in love with it!

Do you want it for all day burn or just for cardio e exercise?

I think that I would like to have it for all day burn, which is why I care a lot what it looks like. I am trying to figure out how many calories I burn in a day. I have a desk job and I don't exercise as much as I should, so most of my weight loss will be from eating less. Having a base line and motivation constantly with me will help me to get off my butt and pay more attention to my calorie burn.

In which case a HRM is only for e excise. You could also get a Fitbit for all day or a Bodymediafit. Do a search and you'll find loads of info on these. There's also the new Amiigo.
