Sorry- best ones have strap. What are you against them. You will get used to it. Alternative is Bodymedia Fit which you can wear all day.0

Check out the Scoche Rythem. It has bluetooth and syncs to most smart phones. The only negative to it is there is a bit of a delay about 5-10 seconds0

Tried the strapless and it was a waste of money, I went back to my Polar with a chest strap.0

i hated the idea of a chest strap, because er... ahem.. the girls need room!
But, I got a Polar FT4, with chest strap and it just sits under my normal bra band and I think it does an excellent job, you cant tell its on to other people when you are wearing it, and I love knowing my own personal calories burnt.0 -
i have a sportline duo that comes with an optional chest strap.. i never wear it. only downside to strapless is you have to touch the watch often with your finger to keep your heart rate readings accurate. with that said, i LOVE my watch and wear it all the time. its great!

I have - got it from target. It was a New Balance one. WASTE of money. It's not accurate because it's not continually monitoring your heart rate. I had to stop and check my pulse with my fingers on the watch face. The more you check your pulse on the watch face the more accurate it is. I was either horribly over or horribly under my actual calorie burn with that thing.
Bought a Polar FT4 with a chest strap for the same price on Amazon and it much better. If it does not have a chest strap don't buy it or send it back.0 -

Don't think these are so accurate though0 -
I admit that it is a downside.... its accurate enough for me, if i remember to touch it whenever i feel my HR changing. Of course using a strap is going to be more accurate. The chest strap doesnt fit me well so i choose not to wear it because it never registers a reading.0
