Looking for a good one cause I'm not sure if xbox 360 is calculating my burn correctly. Your thoughts on a good one with or without chest band?

Thanks

    With chest band that is ecg accurate. If you got the money buy a descent pulsar, i didnt got the money so bought something cheaper but fortunate for me it works fine.

    I just bought a Polar FT4 today-- Sears has it online for $42-- not sure how long it will be that low... I've read great reviews but have yet to try it.

    I have a Polar FT 4. I absolutely love it!! It has a chest strap, but I don't even know it's there!!

    I currently use a Suunto T3D that requires a chest strap. I'm thinking about a new one called mio alpha that doesn't require a chest strap. I'm considering replacing my Suunto.

    BTW what are you doing with the xbox?

    Zumba Core on xbox..... Love it and since it's 360, it watches me to make sure I am accurate with every step and only gives me points if completely on point.

    I use the polar ft 4 too. they make sports bras where you can attach the heart rate monitor so you can lose the strap. so far, i've really enjoyed it.

    That's cool. I've been doing some of the nike+ on 360. Great workout and like you said, the live feedback is great to correct your form and pace.

    I have the FT4 too and love it. I had no idea that they made sports bras to attach the monitor too! I have got to get one. Thanks!

    I recently purchased the Garmin FR70 and premium chest strap. I absolutely love it ! It's comfortable and I seem to try and push myself a little harder when it's on. I love seeing the numbers climb :)

    Thanks for the heads up on this! I was going to buy one tonight on amazon for $70. Just placed my order online and hopefully will pick up on my way home from work--woot!!
