I bought a Polar FT-40 in July and have been very happy with it. It displays HR while exercising and you can tab through to see cals burned while you are still exercising. When you press stop, it gives you a breakdown including cals burned, % burned from fat calories, time in fat burning vs. fitness improvement zones, max HR, and avg HR. It also has a fitness test feature. I bought the optional "Flow link" USB connector (I think it was $50) for the computer and you can store your data on Polar's website...which can give you weekly totals. I bought this one because it gives the most feedback without giving you training advice which I don't need since it's for use with my DVDs. I also like the look of the white watch band too.
HTH,
Kathleen
