Hi all. I'm thinking about purchasing a HRM. I'd like to get one with a chest strap.
Any suggestions as to what brand/model I should get? Which ones have you tried and liked/found accurate?
I'm hoping to spend about $50-$80.
Thanks in advance!

    Polar FT4.

    If you can afford $20 more, get the FT7

    In that price range, probably a Polar. I've tried two though and they haven't lasted long. I think you kind of get what you pay for with these things. I'm using a Garmin 610 now, but it's been worth every penny for me because I'm endurance training (up to about 25 mpw now).

    I went for the FT7 over the FT4 because the FT7 was only a little bit more expensive and you can connect it to the polar website and input your data and track it. So far I love it. The optional $40 FlowLink accessory allows automatic sync between the HRM and your computer.
