I’m looking to get a heart rate monitor, preferably under $150. What would you reccomend? The features I am looking for are the following:
* NO chest strap (it never stays up)
* Displays calories burned
* Target rate alarms
Hopefully it allows you to input your age/gender/weight to get a more accurate reading.

If you want more features than the basics, reviewers recommend the Polar F11 heart rate monitor as best for most people. Owners like the "Keeps U Fit Workout Program," which tailors exercise programs to meet personal goals. The Polar heart rate monitor's OwnZone feature keeps users in their target heart rate, and the OwnCal tracks calories burned. The chest strap and wrist unit are said to be comfortable, but users wish there was a user-replaceable battery in the watch
