I know, this belongs in Fitness and Nutrition. This forum gets more traffic though. Looking at the more basic ones for general cardio info and fat burning, etc. The Polar A5 (some on-line vendors have em for around 100 bucks) looks to fit the bill, does anyone have info regarding this one or similar ones. Goal: keep the tab around a C-note. Does not need to connect to PC. I like the Suunto X3 which incorporates an altimeter and therm, but it is 2 big bills. Cheers and thanks in advance!

I got the db300 from Performance for $30. All it does is tell me my HR, but it doesn't skip a beat. If you don't need all the gimmicks, just get a cheap one.
