Ok, I am looking for a HRM but dont have any clue what I should be looking for. What would you recommend and why? I dont want to spend too much but I also dont want to settle for anything too cheap...middle of the road is usually perfect. Any advice would be great. Thank you!!

    Here some info I found when I was looking for one too...I went with item 1 below. Happy thus far.

    Heart-Rate Monitors top 5 models according to consumer reports Feb-2011. All are chest-strap models.
    1. Timex Personal Trainer T5G971 - $50, score: 93%
    2. Timex Zone Trainer T5J031 - $75, score: 92%
    3. New Balance N5 - $72, score: 90%
    4. Sportline Duo 1010 - $60, score: 88%
    5. Omron HR-100C - $40, score: 88%
    6. Acumen Ergo Plus - $70, score: 87%
    7. Ekho E-15 - $72, score: 87%

    I hope this info helps.

    I have a Polar F6 that I ordered off amazon.com as it was cheaper than local sporting goods store or the polar website & I really like it.

    Polar FT series are some of the best! I get my HRMs from heartratemonitorsusa.com

    I have a Polar FT7 and I really like. It's very consistent and I believe very accurate.

    I LOVE mine.

    It's completely amazing.
    And really well priced for one with a strap.
    Easy to figure out if you actually take the time to read the manual! [:
