Best Heart Rate Monitors for Number Of Steps, Calories, Target Hr, Hr And Time

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.

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

okay, so that had more to do with counting calories than it did with wearing a heart rate monitor, but this gadget tallies the calories i've burned so that i have a good sense of how much i can eat.

it gives your heart rate, zone and calories burned.

i use many differant work-out tapes, and now i know which ones burn the most calories, because of my heart rate.

the only downfall is that it does not track calories or give you any kind of summary.

it does not calculate calories burned etc.

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

it's easy to use, and seems to accurately measure my burned calories and heart rate.

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

the calories seem a little high, but you need to remember to press start while you are still at a resting heart rate.

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.
