So what's a good heart rate monitor watch out there. Thinking of getting back in shape. I want one with the chest strap for continuous accurate reading.

I had the Timex Ironman run trainer, but it got stolen. It has the chest strap you can buy optionally.

Exactly what I was thinking! I think you've confirmed it that this is gonna be the one!

Yeah, I don't need that GPS fancy stuff. For $61.00, you can't beat it.

Changed my mind at the last minute and got this instead (with the Red display). A litttle more expensive, but what the heck, it's upgradeable for some add-ons later down the road :)

That looks good mate, enjoy. The bonus with polar is that somexcercise equiptment at the gym syncs with them and your heart rate appears on their screens

Nice! I didn't know about that model syncing with gym equipment. I'll have to get that one next.
