    I've heard the Polar FT4 or FT7 are both really good ones. You can get the FT4 as low as $63 on Amazon.com. I think the FT7 was only $15-20 more than that one.

    Very wise decision. :-) Go for Polar. Make sure you get the womans one. Use your full budget to get the best spec that you can.

    I've got a polar p4. It was the best I could afford, £40 on ebay, it measures heart rate, calories burnt, minutes in the zone ( that's the fat burning zone) I would've loved a HRM with GPS but I couldn't afford one. I use Runkeeper app on my phone and my HRM and together they give me distance run and calories burnt.

    I've got the Polar FT7, and i like it a lot. You can find them online for under $100. Comes with a chest strap, and its works great.
