It was great. The brand was Polar (I don't remember the type as it was stolen). It was great to use with cardio machines at the gym - the machines would read my heart rate from the monitor instead of me having to hang on to the machine hand grips. I am thinking about getting one again...thanks for the above info... I bought a heart rate monitor when I trained for my 10km race. It was great.

The cardio machines have heart monitors built right into them (usually on the handles of your machine). However, I find those to be extremely inaccurate. Sometimes when my heart feels like it is going to explode the monitor reads some ridiculous number like 67!!! My own heart check proves that to be grossly under what it actually is.
