I was wondering who out there uses an HRM and which brand do you suggest?

    I have a Polar FT4 which is what my trainer suggested I get. I've been using it for about a month now and love it.

    You can't go wrong w/ Polar. Supposed to be the best, and I've been using my F6 for 2 years now and love it!

    I just got a Sport Line 1025 and really like it! But I have heard a lot about a Timex one (maybe someone will have model) that is half the price and supposed to be great. A lot of people say Polar but the watch part was way to big for my wrist

    Just bought and used my Polar FT4 today - loved it. It's comfortable and easy to work. I bought mine off of OverStock.

    I did a lot of research before getting mine. I am cheap to the core and it was really tough to order one, but I'm so glad I did. I decided on the Polar FT4. Got it from Amazon for $77. It's not as fancy as some of the others, but it gives me heart rate range, heart rate, calories burned, duration of workout, and time of day. All of which I can flip between while working out. It stores workout data so that I can enter it later into MFP. It was a real eye opener to see what I'm actually burning compared to the machine displays and what MFP calculates. My burn is less now, but at least I know it's accurate. :)

    I'm a Timex person! whichever way you go just be sure to get one the comes with a chest strap--far more accurate... a few other things to look into is water resistance, and if you can change the battery yourself or if you have to send it back in...

    Me too heatherzotigh, mine is the Timex T5G971. It is rated as a Best buy
