    Most of us have Polar brand HRM's, that is what we usually discuss. You'll definetely be better off with less expensive brand than no HRM at all. Just make sure, you'll buy it from the store with some exchange policy, so you could upgrade it to Polar if needed to be.
    Best of luck

    I actually bought the Nike Imara Heart Rate Monitor about a month ago and Iove it. It cost me almost $40 at Costco. It's perfect for me and it fits my budget. You should try it out especially if the others are expensive. :wink:
