    lol what's with the caps

    most people will report polar brand. more accurate with a chest strap. it depends what else you're looking for in the watch

    LOL I just posted a similar question in asking how accurate calorie counting watches are!! I have a Sportline seems like it's good but not sure about how accurate this kind of thing is. Looking forward to reading your replies.

    Hi..i usually check consumer reports..I was watching the news the other day and there was a timex w/chest strap for less than $60..Also, if you go to Sports Authority..they have some inexpensive ones. Good Luck~

    HAHA I ALWAYS WRITE IN CAPS LIKE TO GET MY POINT ACROSS.......LOL!

    WELL I AM LOOKING FOR A WATCH THAT WILL CALCULATE MY CALORIES BUT I DONT THINK I WANT THE HIP ONE JUST CAUSE I AM AFRAID THAT ITS NOT ACCURATE. I CAN DO THE ARC TRAINER FOR AN HOUR AND BURN 1000 CALORIES AND I FEEL LIKE ITS NOT RIGHT. TAKE IT I AM DOING IT AT LEVEL 10 THE HIGHEST YOU CAN DO IT AT BUT CAN IT REALLY BE ACCURATE??

    in my opinion, you want one that comes with a chest strap as well. Its the most accurate.

    I like the Polar with the chest strap. I got mine at Best Buy for about $90.00

    Oh, wow. I haven't had that problem yet. I bought it at Sports Authority...so far not turning off but I just think over 1,000 calories is way to high. I could see 500-600 in an hour for both workouts. I will love to hear how your new one works out for you.
