    Polar - I would recommend shopping on Ebay or Amazon, you will find a better deal than in the store.

    I use a polar FT40 not sure what currency you will be looking at but I paid £86 UK, good luck with finding what you need.

    You can search past posts and find LOTS of discussions about this. You'll see that most strongly prefer the Polar brand, with a chest strap. Don't skimp - get a good one the first time, even if you have to save up longer to do so. I LOVE my Polar FT-40

    BTW, I got mine on eBay for around $110, with the accessory to link it to their website if you want to track your workouts

    I skimped on my first HRM that was just a watch, I very quickly realized it wasn't helpful. It only monitors your heart rate when you press your fingers to it. That was a good $50 or $60. Then I got my Polar with the chest trap and it's awesome. That cost me about $100 at MC Sports. It's a Polar FT7 and suits my purposes perfectly. I don't even feel the chest strap.

    I guarantee that almost EVERYONE will say Polar :) I'd listen to them (i have the polar ft4 and am super happy with it)
