I have the Polar FT4 and I love it. I think it is the cheapest on Amazon, just under $70.

I have a Polar FT7 which works great for me.
Things I like about it:
Size: It's not huge. I have small wrists and it doesn't seem like I'm wearing a massive computer on my wrist.
Price: Very reasonable. I think I paid under $70. Yay.
User friendly: This might sound odd, but I like that it doesn't have too many features. It tracks a workout's duration, calories, max and average HR, and keeps of log of it all. That's about all I need. I'm pretty sure you can upload directly to a computer, but I've never tried it.
Bonus (spoiler alert!): It has a special screen on your birthday.
Things I don't like:
No stopwatch/timer. What's up with that, Polar?0
