What is the best HRM that has a continuous heart rate shown on it along with calories burned?? I am willing to spend around 150 if I have to, to get a good one! The one I got, I have to touch it for it to show my heart rate and it says I burned the same cals while working out as if I was sitting down.

So what is the best one that will give the most accurate HR and cals burned???

    I got a New Balance N4 from Target for 70 bucks. It is made for women and has a chest strap. The ones with a chest strap are the most accurate. It was well worth the money.

    any of them with a chest strap are a MILLION times better then the ones you have to touch. I got mine at ****s sporting goods for 69.99 the brand name is sportline. I know the polars are good they will cost 100+.

    Does that one show the HR and cals burned together? :) I was looking on amazon.com and found a polar one on sale for 121 that has gps and everything...

    I just got the Polar FT40 and I love it. It comes with a chest strap and it shows your heart rate on the watch as you're working out in big numbers and easy to read. It also shows the heart rate at the low end of your target, basically the heart rate you should stay over to be exercising. Its pretty cool!

    Any Polar HRM is great. average about $100 and it gives you a continual heart rate and counts calories. I love mine!

    YEah, I think I'm gonna go with a Polar one. But is there a BEST one for around 150 or lower?
