If you have a Heart Rate Monitor, what kind do you have and what made you choose it? Would you buy it again if needing another one?

    Polar FT7..love it. And because its the version up from the basic, I also bought a fairly cheap polar flowlink , which basically means you can pop your watch on it, and it uploads all of your exercise data onto the polar website so you can keep track of all workouts (rather than just the 99 it allows on the watch). Hubby and I both have watches, and the flowlink works with multiple devices :)
    Its wonderful, i love it.

    I have a Suunto. It goes with my Suunto Ambit2 watch and works well with most fitness equipment at the gym.

    Polar FT7 - my favorite ever!! I forget that it's on and feel like it calorie counts more accurately. I had a Timex Ironman...but felt it severely over estimated calories, plus it was too hard to use (too many options). I looked at the Polar guide once when I first got it and haven't had to look again...and I've changed the settings on it many times.

    polar ft4 here, love it, and would definitely get again. Previously I had the f4, which when the battery died pretty much that was it as it fries the circuitry if you try to change it yourself (found out the hard way, but seeing as I got it for a fiver on ebay felt it was worth the gamble). The Ft4 and above have user-changeable batteries, which I can happily say is very successful having just done it last week. Plus, the more updated wearlink chest straps are way comfier than the older hard plastic ones.
