I have a crappy HRM from Wal-Mart and I am not a fan. I'm shopping for a new one. Do you have a specific HRM you would suggest, and why?

Thanks in advance! ;-)

    Just got a Polar FT4. Lovin' it!

    Seems accurate, it's not a pain to wear, and it's not too pricey. I did a lot of research before finally settling on this one. It's quite popular and got a lot of great reviews. Purchased on Amazon :)

    I got the Polar for Christmas and really like it. Heart rate, calories burned, makes you really aware.

    I'm not sure what your budget looks like, but I got my Polar FT7 on Amazon for $70, free shipping. I never exercise without it.

    I've had a New Balance N4 for well over a year - never had a problem with it -works great. They are on sale at Target right now for $54 I think.

    I have an older Polar model and it's always been great for me. Just got the battery replaced and it's going strong.

    I had polar ft4, was a total pain, bought a ft7 and never looked back, super awesome! :) It's a little more expensive than the ft4, but I have had ZERO problems with the ft7.
