I want to buy a HRM, but there are way to many options to look through and figure out which one is better and more accurate than the next! If you have any advice on which ones are the most accurate, and semi-simple to use, any help would be appreciated! Thanks :)

    Polar is better for indoor. I would recommend one that you can upload to the www or some computer software.

    Garmin is better with the outdoor activities because of the GPS.

    Both will track heart rate and calories.

    Send me a message if you have specific questions

    Polar Ft7. Very simple to use and accurate.
    Don't bother with a Timex.. the calorie count is way off.

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Polar F4 I bought a few years ago. It has a chest strap with it (more accurate with less hassle than the other kind, IMO), is waterproof so you can use it for swimming/scuba/etc, and easy to program and use!! HIGHLY recommend! It is a tad pricier than some other brands, but it is so worth the $$! If you can, watch when they go on sale. I got mine from Target when it went on sale and I saved $25. But there are websites you can check out too. Overstock.com, amazon.com, ebay, etc. Good luck to you!
