Accurate HRM?

captainlindarg · February 2012

I know this question is probably asked all the time, but after buying two different HRMs that were either not what I wanted or not accurate for counting calories, I'm asking here. So -- help! Preferably not absurdly expensive and one that would fit my small-ish wrists (i.e. one made for women).

I have the N4 by New balance. I havent had it too long but I think it's pretty accurate. They tend to tell me less than what the actual cardio machines say and I burn more in yoga than MFP says. Which makes sense since I'm pro at the elliptical and in decent shape so there's no way I'm burning 900 calories in an hour. Yoga would only give me like 100 on MFP but it's closer to 250 with all the moves and the pace.
