Any suggestions on what heart rate monitor to buy. I want a very accurate estimated of calories burned during working out. I just did Shaun t focus 25 n my fit but only calculated 125 calories although I am dripping in sweat lol. Saw on a website that that workout burbs 369 calories. So I wanted to track my actual calories burned thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Your fitbit is probably pretty close to accurate if you have entered all your personal details correctly. One mistake people often make is overestimating how many calories they burn through exercise.

Ok thanks a little disappointing but it is what it is

Actually I would not buy a fitbit since there is no heart rate monitor attached... (unless a new one came out that i don't know about...)

I'm buying the polar ft7 with a heart rate chest strap.... Then it'll be REALLY accurate

I was talking with a person at work last night about my HRM. It is without a doubt in my mind, the best money I have spent concerning "exercising". I use a Garmin 310xt. I use it for cycling and now running. It keeps track of almost anything you could want...automatically uploads it to GarminConnect. I actually was talking to folks on here back in the spring about this topic. Theres a lot of different ones available, but I'll never be without one again. You can use just a strap with several smartphones too. Many, many apps that show lots of good info. But Im partial to my garmin.

Heres an example of what it shows:

Garmin or Polar.
