I am thinking of getting one of these monitors, just to see what I burn when I am out with the kids etc. Which one should I buy??

    I have one by Timex. It wasn't expensive and I am very happy with it......

    Buy one with a chest strap because they are more reliable. I have the Polar FT4. Not a fancy one but it does the job! I love it!

    I'd say either the Polar Ft4 or Ft7. The FT7 is a bit more expensive then the FT4, but it also has a few more features that the FT4 doesn't.

    I was thinking about the bodybugg, are the Polar ones similar?

    I saw a couple in Walmart tonight when I was buying my bike. They do not have a great selection. Will keep on looking. May have to hit a sport store.
