so here are a few i found on amazon that looked okay
but i dont know which ones are better

    ive got a Kelly Holmes one from Tesco direct. it cost me £26, it might have come down a little in price now.. Its brilliant, ive had no problems with it at all, and it does the trick! and for that price - you cant go wrong really!

    Polar FT4 is what I have and I love it. Polar brand got the best reviews when I was looking, so that is what I went with. Good luck!:flowerforyou:

    Any of the Polar's are going to be your best bet... they are well known, work awesome, and have been around for years! I have the Polar FT4 and love it!

    Whatever one you choose, just make sure it has a chest strap... the ones that are just watches aren't very accurate.

    I have wahoo fitness which integrates with my iphone (garmen chest strap)

    There are great tracking apps available that are way better than what the watches offer.

    Digifit also makes a kit for the iphone

    Android has heart rate monitors that integrate via bluetooth.
