    I've only had one but I use the Polar FT4. Its basic but it continuously monitors your HR and how many calories you burn. It does have a chest strap but honestly it hits you under your bust where the bottom of your bra is anyways, so you cant even tell that it's there.

    Oh! And I love it! Seeing the numbers and knowing they are more accurate than alot of other HRMS out there is pretty motivating!! :)

    When I exercise I use my iphone to calculate my heartbeat every 10mins using the iPhone app...then I average it and then plug the sucker in using a website that let me know how many calories I burn using my average heartbeat. Its cheaper in my case.

    I have been using a Sigma PC-15 for several years. The accuracy can't be beat and it has the features I need.

    Suunto T3D. You can connect different modules like a running pod or cycling pod to capture different data wth heart rate data. Also you can upload your HR and workout data to a website for trending over time. Helps you measure cardiovascular improvements over time.

    I have the Garmin Forerunner 610. I LOVE it! If is VERY accurate! It has GPS and does interval training for my walk/run. It is expensive... but worth it!

    I bought a Suunto Quest and I did have to adjust it to get a more accurate calorie count (it was way high when I first got it but it assumes that a relatively fit person is buying it). I really like their web interface and the easy upload to the web.

    Polar FT40 best investment ever, it cost me £85gbp so not the cheapest but not the most expensive, I chose this one in the beginning because it is white wraps around my wrist and not the usual big black bulky style. I love it, it seems very accurate and uses a fitness test which is supposed to equate to my V02max to calculate calories burned etc.
