Has anyone used the New Balance N7 Heart Rate Monitor? I'm considering getting one so I have a more accurate calorie reading when I workout. I do want to make sure it will track calories burned regardless of the type of exercise but I haven't had much luck getting info online.

No heart rate monitor is completely accurate about calories. The device uses algorithms to estimate the calorie burn. The calculations used are proprietary.0 -

So true. You could watch a scary movie which could get your heart rate up, but it doesn't necessarily equal calories burned. It estimates calories burned.0 -
I use the Polar ft4 and I'm happy with my purchase. I've had it about a month and I really enjoy it. Like others said, it estimates the calorie burn, but I feel its a bit more accurate than the machines.
I recommend shopping around for price and quality until you find one that will best match your needs. I got mine from bodytronics.com
I googled a promor code and it saved me 5% on my purchase with free shipping, paid $61 for it and at most stores in my area, the charge$89-$99 for it.
Good Luck!

I also have the Polar FT4 and I don't leave for the gym without it. I noticed when I put the exercises in on MFP it was more than what the machines indicated. With my HRM I am in between the two or on some days where I don't have enough energy lower than what both indicate. I think it's been really helpful. Amazon.com has some good prices and a lot of reviews.0
