I don't find them necessary. I know how active i am, and whether i work out hard enough.
If i had lots of cash laying around, i'd hire a good personal trainer, to optimize my routine and check my form.0 -

a nice gps garmin with an avy beacon in it, altimeter, weather station,and fully integratable with portable med clinic units.0

I like the looks of the polar hrm but I've heard the batter is not user changeable but then again, someone said they took it to a watch shop.0

It isn't, and I wouldn't buy any kind..
I did get a fitbit as a gift, and it's a neat gadget. Still wouldn't have bought one though.0 -
If money were no object? A team of doctors to follow me around 24/7 monitoring me :laugh:0

How would you do heart rate zone training without one?0 -
If money were no object, I would hire Johnny Depp to follow me around, checking my pulse.0

The money no object isn't meant to offend anybody, its just that I have saved up for a long time to buy a "good" one and I see some posts asking about inexpensive ones but now I have saved to buy one I would rather pay more for a monitor that has good features and works well if it is worth the extra cost. Perhaps a cheaper one is better, I am just interested in the opinions from people who have the knowledge of different makes and models so I can judge which one to buy.0

Aww..now I feel guilty for my sarcasm. :blushing:
I'd probably get the super fancy FitBit. I hear it syncs well, plus it monitors steps taken and stairs and what not.0 -

I work harder when it feels too easy, and slow down when it feels too hard.
If you're referring to the fat burning vs. cardio zones, Google "fat burning zone myth".0 -

What is it you want the HRM to accomplish for you?0 -

I have a simple one I was given and it did the trick of estimating my calories from runs and work outs. But if I could buy a new fancy one as a treat to myself, I would buy one that syncs w my iphone where I mapped my runs. I think in terms of estimating calorie burn, they are all the same but the question is what extra functionality and features you would like to have. And this is where they differ. I love new gadgets and I find them oddly motivating so I totally understand you.0

The new Adidas watch looks good. Has an HRM incorporated in the watch itself0
-
I would have a personal trainer 5x a week and a housekeeper :-)0
-
I have a fitbit flex it is a nifty gadget and motivating but not perfect none of them are
however it is a good motivation to get more steps in my day and that is what I wanted
as for the money no object
you guys can have Johnny
I'll pay Joe Manganiello just to not talk and be pretty
him doing push ups gets my heart rate going
yum yum0 -
If it ever gets released, the BodyMedia Core 2 is supposed to be awesome. (It was supposed to come out last August, but supposedly delayed since Jawbone bought BodyMedia and they say they're working to make it even more awesome.) When I first started MFP last July, it was going to be my reward for consistent logging. But now I don't feel like I need all it offers, and I'm happy with my Polar, which I've had for a few years.0

I use my Timex. It works great.
However, I can tell by my ability to talk (or not) whether I am training hard.0
