Best Heart Rate Monitors for Calories Burned

it is my first heart rate monitor and i like the use of seeing how much i'm pushing myself with the heart rate measurement and especially the estimated calories burned.

it gives your heart rate, zone and calories burned.

i love the calories burned feature of the monitor, it validated something i've long suspected - the elliptical machines at my gym overestimate calories burned by approximately 30% and the treadmills

the f4 provided more accurate numbers regarding my calories burned (which is the most important thing for me--heart rate and calories burned).

it gives a great read out of the amount of time you have exercised and total calories burned.

i'm still on the fence regarding the calories burned during a workout.

i got this watch to keep track of calories burned so i could give myself correct weight watchers activity points.

the only question i have about the watch is if the calories burned section/screen has a decimal in the readout.

it doesn't tell you how many calories burned but it lets me know when i am in my "zone".

pros: accurate, compact design, easy to use, gives a quick reading cons: limited features best uses: running, spinning, treadmill describe yourself: frequent exerciser bottom

- doesn't show calories burned
