I love my Pyle Sports HRM PHRM38. It seems to be a great hrm for those on a budget. I have the pink version, but it comes in other colors.

Features:
- Time/Date
- Present HR
- Max HR
- Avg HR
- Target Zone Setting
- 1/100 sec stopwatch
- Calories Burnt
- Daily Alarm
- User Setting (age, weight, vo2 max)
- Led backlight
- Energy Saving Function
- Display Off
- Water Resistant 33 feet/10 meters/1 ATM
- ability to change battery in chest strap and watch

The only problem I have with it is the watch is pretty big. They didn't scale it down for a female, but I can't complain too much when I only paid $26 for it. I would have gone with a polar, but I'm on a tight budget and this seems to work well. It doesn't have all the features of the more expensive ones.
