Doc suggested a HRM

Been to the doctors today regarding a heart condition I -may- or may not have at present (they're still unsure). But he suggested I get a HRM for when I do exercise but I'm not sure which to get? Do they all count calories? and which are the most accurate?

Which do you use, if any? Thanks :-)

    i use the polar FT4. I love it. I wear it everytime I work out. My family has a history of heart issues so I slow it down when I see my heart rate too high. Polar, Garmin are both very good brands.

    Yeah, I've been pointed to the Polar FT7 a few times now, seems good - is the chest strap okay?

    I have a FT4, chest strap is absolutely fine. I forget it is there.

    Most count calories. None are very accurate. Polar HRMs are very high quality.

    FT7 chest strap is very comfortable.
