    They're great for when you're doing exercise, so you can keep track of your heart rate (so you don't work too hard/too little).

    The calorie counting function is decent too, but I usually subtract 20%+ of the calories it claims I've burnt; to get a more realistic number of calories lost.

    The one I use is from Polar, and they're known to make some great heart rate monitors!

    I use the Polar FT40 and i love it, it monitors my heart rate and calories burned, it also keeps them on file so you can see the total amonunt burned for the week
