Hey guys!

I am getting a HRM soon, but, with there being so many on the market today, I really would like some advice/opinions on which one to get. I'm looking for the most accurate at a reasonable price. Any and all suggestions welcome! Thanks (:

    I am VERY happy with my Polar FT40 - I did a search online and found a good deal with free shipping... I think it was at drugstore.com, maybe?

    Polar or Garmin brand for sure. The Garmin watch with GPS is really cool, but expensive. Make sure it has a chest strap. I have a Polar FT7, but you could get away with a Polar FT4. The FT7 doesn't do a whole lot more than the FT4, but costs about $25 more

    all I know is i'm getting a Polar, that's the name that comes up most around MFP. Not sure which model. I plan on checking out Best Buy.

    I too have a Polar FT7 and it has been great to work with since I bought it over a year ago!

    I am in the market for one too, there are so many choices...I don't want to spend hundreds only to fin out I should have spent a bit more to get extra features.
    Polar or garmin seem to be the more popular. I will follow this thread to see what majority says.
