I'm in the market for a HRM that will also show me calories burned. Nothing TOO fancy (about $75 is all I can afford right now) but something that's not going to poop out on me in 2 weeks.

And maybe something sort of stylish, but thats not on my list of necessities :)

    I got the Polar FT7. It is in the 70's range, so that should be good for you. It's a good HRM. Good luck!

    Hi, definitely get a hrm. I have a New Balance N4. It was about $60 at Target. Works great and very easy to use. Liked it so much I bought it for my daughter too!:smile:

Happy hunting.

    I found good reviews on both the Polar models and the New Balance N4. I'm on a tight budget, so started watching eBay auctions for both of them, looking for a good price and brand new items. Scored a New Balance for $26 and I love it!

    Yeah, I also second/third the polar FT4, I have a pink/purple one which is so pretty that I can use it as a regular watch :)

    It is an entry level model and won't go into a lot of detail, but it is exactly what I need - calories burned, duration, av and max heart rate, time in zone (fitness zone). Later, when I have more specific goals (and more money!) I will invest in a better model but for now this is wonderful. Addictive and it makes you work hard.
