The Polar A3 is really good.

I have the M61 and I absolutely love it! In fact, I did post about it when I first started posting on ST a few months ago.

I used to be one of those people who hated cardio, but since I got my polar, I have gone from 20 min cardio sessions to 60 min. It really sets up the right pace for you.

I bought mine at a sports store, but i'm sure you can find it cheaper on ebay or somewhere else.

Lisa and Joina- do those models come with the strap that goes around your chest also? I think its called a transmitter.

poptart · Coach

The A3 does come with the strap.

Joina · Kenneth Cole

Yep, most definitely.

I recommend getting the soft chest strap. I have the hard one, and while it's not unconfortable, I could see how the soft version would be better.
