I really am most concered with correct cals burned I guess. Just can't figure out which to get. I am thinking of a fitbit...or a Polar ft4? What do you have and why do you love it? and how much $$? That's a factor too...
please and thank you !

    Just as an FYI, there is no guarantee that an HRM is going to be any more accurate than any other method of calculating calories burned.

    HRMs, cardio machines, websites, etc all use formulas to calculate calorie burns, and there is little consistency to those formulas.

    Ive just got a FT4 - it is quite basic but very easy to use and gives me the info I need. It doesn't really matter if its completely accurate as I don't eat back my exercise calories but I just like to get an idea of what Im burning.

    Im in the Uk and it cost me £48 from Amazon :)
