I am going to buy a HRM very soon. But, before I go and spend money on one, I would like to know what MFP members suggest. I want one that will count calories based on HR. I have looked at some and they counted calories and monitored HR, but, I don't think they did it together (unless I an very ignorant on how they work). Any suggestions??

    Polar is a top recommendation. You can find them on ebay.

    I use this one too and love it. Simple to use and seems very accurate.

    I also just bought a Polar FT4 and so far, so good. I've always had Polar products and have been pleased with them.

    Seems like Polar is the general consensus! I have the FT4 and it's great, does everything I want/need it to. The chest strap is also pretty comfortable, I forget it's there when I work out.

    Timex T5G971, $38 at Amazon, easy to use with chest strap. I love mine, does heart rate and calorie burn.

    Does the Polar FT4 have the plastic or fabric chest strap?
