Shelly, This one is nice (from Target)

Thanks Joy. I'm not sure about the quality aspect of it though, do you think this less expensive one is as good as your Polar, are they comparable quality and similar functionality? If not, I'd rather spend the money and get the better one.

Thanks for your help!

Good workout Shelly!

Here is the HRM I have
http://www.sportsauthority.com/produ...id=body_rv_img

There are a couple features that this one has the other doesn't.
1) It records and stores your maximum heart rate and minimum heart rate.
2) It has an audible alarm when you are out of your target heart rate zone telling you either speed up or slow down, which is very nice.

Both monitors have a warmup where the monitor determines your "Own Zone" and this is a target heart rate zone.

The only other area that might be different is the band that goes around your rib cage where it actually monitors your heart beat and transmits to the wrist unit. The one I have has a soft elastic band. Some of the others had a hard plastic band that just looked plain uncomfortable.
