I went searching for HRMs on Amazon. Some of your posts make it sound like you have monitors that strap around your chest and the like but all the ones I saw were watches (and a couple of belts). Are the watches accurate? I need something in a moderate price range (think under $100).

    Mine is a Polar F7. It comes with a watch and a chest strap. I think around $80-$90 on amazon, or at a store. I got mine at a store called Meijer, it's kind of like a Super Wal-Mart.

    I'm not sure about the accuracy if it doesn't have a chest strap ... but I did just see that Best Buy had a Polar FT7 (the one I have) for about $110. It has a chest strap and has been great and easy to use.

    I think you can get the polar watches/chest straps at academy. Super easy to use and I really like knowing my heart rate and calories burned. it keeps me in my zone...

    I have a Polar FT7 and it has a chest strap. You will not get an accurate reading without one. I just got mine at Amazon

    I hate the crowds at Meijer but their prices can't be beat and I like to support Michigan based companies.
