I have used HR monitors for 3 years now. I originally purchased the Polar F11 which has quite alot of bells and whistles. After a year of using it I realized I really only used the min/max HR, avg. HR and Calories features. My gym was having a sale on Polar watches so I bought myself the Polar FS1 which is very basic and keeps track of exercise time, avg. hr, and max hr. I think I got it on sale for $50.00. It tells me all I need to know for my workouts now. If I really want to know how many calories I've burned I'll use my F11.
