I'm not finding a decent, moderately priced HRM without reading horrible reviews. What brand do you have? I'd like to buy one with my tax refund. Need one that's user friendly!

Help!!

    I don't really think you can go wrong with any Polar. I have the Polar FT7 and love it. Though for some reason today it won't read my HR. :(

    I have a New Balance N4. Works great. Use the search feature here & search HRM & heart rate monitor - heaps of info on this topic & lots of great advice & opinions.

    I'll hop on this bandwagon and say I LOVE my Polar Ft4. It's fantastic, easy to use and PINK! It was worth the investment.

    Mine is a Garmin Forerunner 110 with HRM. It's awesome! It also has GPS capabilities so I can go run anywhere I please :) Had it for 1.5 years and love it.

    I just got a Polar FT7 on Monday. LOVE IT!

    I don't think it's much different than the FT4, though, so I'd say either one. They're commonly found between $60 and $100 for these particular models.

    I have a Polar FT4 and I love it too. My wife and I both use these and we have had no problems whatsoever. Good luck.

    I JUST bought the Polar FT7... it's my favorite thing I own right now =D lol I tried the New Balance HRM previously but it over calculated my calories by A LOT! and totally ruined my goals so that had to go... I say any Polar brand would be good =D

    Polar FT7. I love it! Haven't ever had a problem with it. The package I got included the watch with the chest strap. I highly recommend it!

    I use the Timex T5G971. It comes with a chest strap. You can buy it online for about $50. After you set the watch up with your specifics (weight, resting heart rate, max heart rate, etc) you are good to go. I love mine! Never any issues.

    Polar ft40 here. Comfortable, water resistant so I can swim with it, and reliable. About $150. Worth every shiny penny.

    Just don't make it a Timex, I learned the hard way that they're wildly inaccurate :S
