    According to mine I died a quarter of a mile into my first run with it.

    It turns out I was ok, just running up a hill 'quickly'.

    What brand did you get? I'm wanting to buy one and saw an unknown brand ($40 CDN) in Winner's (Like tjmaxx if your from the US) yesterday and was hesitant to try it in case it was cheap. Not sure what to trust for quality.

    congratulations....you will LOVE it...I have a polar ft4 and it is my bestest friend (cuz I like to eat) now I feel safer eating those calories and I know for sure how much I have burned..(closer than anyother way that I have access to) for example I rode on my new road bike at 18 mph average for 27 minutes the other day...I burned 197 cals by HRM...mfp said I burned almost 300...YIKES that said...glad I have a hrm....

    I have the Polar FT7. Simple to use and accurate. The only down is some people say the audible warning tones are quiet but if they were louder I think they would be annoying.
