I am technology free besides a basic cell phone and computer, so which heart rate monitor/calorie counter should I use to track my calories burned?

If you're looking to track elapsed time, heart rate & calories burned the Polar FT series are hard to beat. The FT4 and FT7 are two affordable and popular models, quite a few MFP members seem to like them.0

I have the Polar FT4. After my workout I push a little button and it tells me how long my workout was (minutes and seconds) and calories burned. Perfect! It comes with the chest strap. I got it online for about $60.0

I have the Polar FT4 also and it's really simple to use.0

FT4 here too. I wear it for my workouts. For the rest of the day I have my Fitbit.0

I use a Garmin 305 also includes a GPS so it does pacing and I can upload my runs to the website and it maps it out for me shows pacing, HR, Elevation ect ect. Its a nice tool if you excercise outdoors. Cant wait for mine to die to get the Garmin 410 its sleeker looks more like a regular watch.0

I use a Schwinn 810 GPS + HRM. It was the cheapest Chest strap HRM that included GPS functionality that I could find. It was only $70, and works great., considering other GPS+HRM devices are over $150.0

I recently bought the Polar FT7 - LOVE IT!!! I got it on Amazon for about $72 with free shipping. Much cheaper than in the stores. It does everything I need, and is simply to use (if you are technologically challenged)0

I use a Polar FT40 and I LOVE it! I dont want to do any kind of workout without it. Also as a plus, it has a user-replaceable batter, which some of the other models do not have. I havent had to replace it yet, but I would HATE to have to send it away to have the battery replaced.0

I have a Polar HRM watch I've been using for 6+ years now.0

Love my Polar FT7!0

I agree! POLAR F4 rocks. You simply cannot get an accurate calorie burn without a chest strap to monitor heart rate!0
-
I use a Garmin Edge 800. Yes, a lot of money, but real cycling porn!0

I love my Polar FT70

I gave up my Polar HRM. It was making me stress over calories burned.
I used it for about 6 months.0 -
I was just thinking about this today! Thanks for asking the question and for all of the great responses! :happy:0
