    I bought the same HRM a few months ago and ended up bringing it back. It told me I burned 700 calories in 28 min. I WISH. ;) It also gave me weird heart rate readings -- everywhere from 30 bpm to 130 bpm, just while I was sitting on the couch.

    I exchanged it for a Polar F6, which I LOVE. ALthough in retrospect, I could have been good with a Polar F4, which is slightly cheaper -- I don't really use the extra features on the F6.

    Hope that helps!
