Thinking of buying one....any advice as to brand, type, options. If you would let me know price ranges of the ones you are suggesting, that would be helpful, just so I know if I am getting a bad deal or a bargain when I find one.

    I have a Polar ft4 and I LOVE IT! It's easy, basic (as long as you don't need gps). I got mine on Amazon for about 60ish?? Not bad at all and I gotta say I'd pay that and more if I had to do it again! I love it and won't ever exercise again without it :) But I'm a geek and love to know my exact efforts!

    I've used them in the past at the gym, etc and I really disliked using the ones with the straps. I then discovered ones that were solely the watch, no strap required and I fell in love. Some people aren't fans, but I adore them. I don't feel tripped up by the strap when really working out, doing something like really heavy cardio.

    I got my first HRM from amazon for about 30 bucks, since it was my first I was personally investing in, I wanted to go the conservative route to start. I've been really happy with it. I love knowing exactly where my heart rate is during a workout and exactly how many calories I've burned, rather than just going off general calculator estimates.

    Get a digifit setup if you have a iPhone/iPod/iPad or Android.
    Hands down the best product on the market.
