    I use the Garmin Forerunner 110. It also helps with my running. It's great since it helps with calculating calories burned.

    I got the FT60 for Christmas. I read this blog (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Azdak/view/the-real-facts-about-hrms-and-calories-what-you-need-to-know-before-purchasing-an-hrm-or-using-one-21472) and it guided me to products that I thought would be more accurate (VO2 issues). Anyway, I have only had it a short time, but it seems very easy to work with and has a few advanced features. I mostly ride my bike and it has the ability to add a GPS sensor and a foot pod if I choose to in the future. Polar is by far rated the best and so far I haven't been dissappointed. Got it on ebay for around $120 (I think). Good luck!

    Haha this post just reminded me I forgot to take my chest strap off after my walk :) Thank you XD

    Mine's a ft60, it was like 130$, but the earlier versions are cheaper :) Love mine, I'd be lost without it, great motivation seeing those number burns makes me want to do more to see the numbers rise

    I also have a Polar FT4 (got it off e-bay) and it is so easy to use (and update when you lose weight -- to ensure it continues to calculate calories burnt accurately.)

    Confused. What is the difference between the Polar FT range and the Polar RS range??
    Even more lost since I started searching :huh:
