Hello!
So I've recently been researching different types of HRM to try and decide which to buy. Preferably, I'd like a strapless HRM that's around $100.
Do any of you have some suggestions as to what to get? I'm completely lost and unsure!

Thanks
Jenny

    A hrm measures your heart rate and helps determine how many calories you are burning.

    I have a NewBalance one (but it does have a chest strap, I don't even know it's there) and it was only $70, and it has been awesome, no problems at all! They can be pretty pricey so I thought this one was good for the price, counts calories, fat % burned, has a timer, saves workouts for you, it's also a watch, and I get compliments on it because it looks nice and feminine (it's white) it does more, but I don't have it on me at the moment..... :)

    To the OP: Why do you want a strapless?

    I just bought a Polar FT4, and I LOVE it. It does have a strap, but I really don't even notice its there. I've jogged, walked and used the elliptical with it and it hasn't been uncomforatble. And with a strap you get a very accurate reading.

    Lots of people like the Fitbit, but it doesn't measure heart rate I don't think. Just calories burned, stairs, steps, distance etc.

    I have a sportline I haven't had any problems with it, It tracks up to four users. I got it at Walmart a couple years ago, it came with a strap as well. I can just wear the watch and touch the front of the watch with my index and thumb and get a reading. Or I can wear the strap and get a continue reading. I like it I think it was like $60.00 or $80.00 I'm going to get a wireless one to go with the app I just downloaded to my smart phone. I can track my HR with any cardio exercise I do and comes with gps for my bike rides They run $80.00 as well Theres a lot of good ones out there It all depends on what you like and what your going to use it with By that I mean some gyms have machines that work with Polar and so on Good luck:)

    I guess I just thought that maybe I would find it irritable, but reading from other poster it must not be noticeable.
