A good Heart Rate watch that doesn’t cost to much?

[humdinger4u]

I want to do bike ridding and hiking with this, other wise I would just buy the Garmin Edge 305 with the heart monitor.

Is there anything out there that doesn’t cost and arm and leg, maybe at or less then $100?

Thanks, Michael

Polar seems to make pretty good heart rate monitors.
The FS1 is the cheapest basic HR monitor from Polar. You can find them new on Ebay for about $50. The next step up is the F6 and it is around $100 new on ebay.

Good Luck!!

Thanks Jeff, I bought a Polar F6 ($66.00 New) a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks again, Michael 😃

The Timex Ironman is probably one of the most reliable and well know. For just basic heart rate function Oregon Scientifics are pretty inexpensive (under $70).
For biking though it is just nice to have a GPS function that measures speed and distance so if you have the $$ then step up to what the pros use – Garmin.
