    I'm using a Fenix 3 HR. Really nice but it isn't cheap. However at least my wife doesn't complain about it. Normally she complains about my cheap looking watches.

    I love my Apple Watch. It's not just a fitness tracker so you are certainly paying more for it, but it's worth it for me because I use lots of the other features too.

    I use the polar chest strap heart rate monitor just to keep track on my high intensity training aiming at 75% of my heart rate capacity since I only do 30 Min two times a week for fat burn with out loosing muscle mass. So far it's the best for accuracy.

    Currently I use a Polar as well as I can use it when swimming.

    Fenix 3 here also (but non-HR version). I get complaints about how many times I talk about it.

    A lot of Fenix 3 owners love their watches and now after a month of owning the F3HR I know why. :smiley:

    Another Fenix 3 HR vote. Best on the market hands down!

    I use the Garmin VivoSmart HR for daily wear. And I'm thoroughly impressed with it.

    As of currently I'm using it because I love the Garmin Connect Ecosystem. Also using the Edge 520, and Forerunner 220.

    I had one from an undisclosed company and I'll never use their Flash or let them Shine again.

    Ok to my Fenix users would you say it's better than the Mio line of wearables and is it waterproof

    I thought it was a good one as well. I went through 3 of their trackers and finally sent it back to them and just told them to keep it.

    I don't use anything unless training for a race.

    They are gadgets marketed to make money that aren't necessary.

    You can find your cals burned by a simple mathematical formula or by using a free app on a smart phone.

    Thank you Mr. Wet Blanket McBuzzkillington for chiming in.
    Since I felt like buying an unnecessary gadget to help someone make money, I bought the Fitbit One.

    I have a Jawbone UP Move that I got on Amazon for $25 and I really like it. It syncs well with MFP. I also use a Wahoo HR monitor when working out, and it syncs well with Endmondo - it was about $60.

    An order of magnitude better and waterproof.
    The Mio has almost no functionality on the watch, just HR display, the fenix is an advanced watch environment that does pretty much everything (including control my music and video camera).

    They are very different devices (and prices) - please take a look at: http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2015/11/winter-sports-gadget-recommendations.html
