Anyone know of a good, but yet cheapish, heart rate monitor? It must count calories burned as well. Thanks!

    what's "cheapish"? I've been really happy with my Suunto. I think you can get them for $150, maybe a bit less depending on the model.

    Don't go too cheap. I tried that - Timex, Sportline...both lasted a year at best. You can get a simple Polar FT4 for just a bit more and it will last for YEARS!

    I just used my Polar FT7 for the first time today and the heart rate was right with the pulse numbers I was getting from the machines at my physical therapy office. It has calories burned as well. In the stores, it is $110. The FT4 has the Calories Burned and Heart Rate and was $90 in the stores. Both are about $20 cheaper online, but I hate to wait and wanted it for this week. It's really cool!!! I've been told by many that Polar is the top brand.

    Does the polar ft4/ft7 listed on Amazon, for the lower prices, actually come with a chest strap? I can't find where they are included.
