Best Heart Rate Monitors for Watches ,Workouts

i love this heart rate monitor- it is a bit confusing at times but most digital "watches" are to me.

i use it to make sure i'm in my target heart range for my cardio workouts.

this product gives me the perfect way of getting the most out of my workouts (walking currently) without putting my health in danger.

i purchased this product to make my aerobic workouts more effective.

i love knowing how many calories i burn in my workouts, my trainer is even using it now to gauge how hard he is working me.

it keeps track of and totals a week's worth of workouts.

it has greatly improved my workouts.

then it tracks your workouts by the date.

- included download software lets you export workouts in a csv spreadsheet for better analysis (and backup your entire workout db in .mdb format)

it has got timers that the other watches lacked.

i didn't want to have to use a chest strap heart rate monitor, but wanted to be able to have a better estimation of my calories burned and use my heart rate range to better focus my workouts.

while it's not my style of watch to wear with work clothes, i find it small and not so clunky as other fitness watches to wear while exercising.

that said, i doubt i'd wear this as a watch, as it's a larger size than i wear my (fashion) watches.

i have tried two other heart rate watches (you can look at my other reviews) and this is my favorite (also less expensive).
