Anyone know of any good brands of heart rate monitors that also count calories burned. Money isn't a concern, I'm willing to spend some $ on a good product that will last!

    I love my Polar FT4. It was only $80 and it's super duper easy to use. No bells and whistles though. It gives you your heart rate and calorie burn, which is really all I was looking for. The chest band is much more comfortable then many I have worn in the past though.

    love my polar FT7. go to their website and they have a lot of data to help you find one with the features that you want. I highly recommend one that estimates VO2 max as a measure of fitness so you can see progress if your planning on really working in Zones. One that gives you a plan is also helpful.

    If you can wait about 8 weeks you may want this as it is a HRM and an activity tracker.

    Vivofit by Garmin

    Battery last a year and it is water resistant to 50 meters

    I love my polar ft7. I have also used the ft4 and the one for group classes. Got mine on amazon for $75.
