Hey guys,
I am thinking about getting a heart rate monitor to be able to more accuratly measure how much I am burning. But I'm a little unsure about which one to get and how they work.For example; can I wear it all day long, or should I just wear it during excersise?
Any help would be appreciated!
I'm especially looking for brands that are available in NZ!

Thanks, I will check that out!0 -
Aaarrggg Amazon wont ship to New Zealand!!!
And I dont have a spare $200 to buy it in the stores here0 -
I just did a lot of research on them; Polar & Garmin's reviews are the best currently. I was undecided between the 2, but ultimately decided on a Garmin FR60, because I could get a bundle set, which included the chest strap & foot pod, & it was a good deal. I really wanted something that tracked distance, calories, and pace, too. Good luck in your decision! I'm looking forward to mine arriving soon!0

I wanted to get the polar ft7, but they are way out of my budget for now. I found a cheap one on Amazon but they dont ship to New Zealand for some weird reason0
