Is there one you would recommend? I'm looking to buy one but my budget is kind of tight. So I'm looking for something that is accurate at a good price. This is the first time in my life that I've been interested in working out so I have no clue what to look for.

Your opinions are greatly appreciated :)

    I would recommend a polar. I personally think they are the best. I have an F4 which is girly & perfect for me. I'm not sure how much they are in the US but they are definitely worth it.

    I would check craigslist and ebay for one if your budget is tight. I almost got a brand new polar f7 off craigslist for $50 but my sister ended up buying a new hrm and is sending me her old one. Try to find one with a chest band as they are better at detecting the heart rate then just the wrist ones.
