Can't go wrong with a Polar. Best prices are at www.heartratemonitorsusa.com
I have an a5 and it is very loyal. Once it's time for another, i'll get another Polar...just more bells and whistles for luxery purposes. Nothing necessity.
Just make sure you can enter your personal information into it for an accurate reading: age, height, weight, gender. Also make sure you can enter in a modified "target range" for your heart rate.

Ditto on the Polar recommendation. I have the F11 and I love it - it's one of my favorite gadgets!

>what do you guys think about the F6? My gym hypes that one.
All of the F-series monitors are very similar. The differences are in the features (bells and whistles). The higher the number, the more features it has. The F11 has the most features, and the FS1 has the fewest. I think any of them would be good HRMs - it all depends which features are important to you.

I have this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-SIGMA-SPORT...197297905QQcategoryZ30108QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
and absolutely LOVE it! It does everything that the WAY more expensive ones do and hasn't given me a bit of trouble in the year I've had it. I use it a few times a week and it's still going strong. And I really did get it in only 2 days.

I just bought an Polar M32. The problem I'm having with it is that my living room (where I work out to DVD's) is fairly small. The TV causes interference with the HRM. Sometimes my heart rate goes to "0", or will stay at one number for quite some time (1/2 minute or more) before changing. The Polar people say it is interference and that no model is better than another for alleviating this. I bought it mostly for my spinning workouts and it works fine for that as my bike/trainer is located far enough away from the TV so it works perfectly then.
Just wanted you to know in case you have to be pretty near to the TV while working out.
