heart rate monitor? calorie burner?

Hey all!

I would liek some imput here. I am looking for a fairly accurate heart rate monitor/calorie burner that is strapless. yes I hate wearing those aweful bands. I was looking at companies like MIO and such.

Any suggestions would rock!!!

I was looking for a strapless HRM as well. Unfortunately for the type of workout I do, strap  just works better because it constantly monitor your HR. Strapless one, if I am not mistaken, do a recount of HR everytime you touch the sensor then tally/summarize your HR/calorie at the end of your workout.

For it to give true calorie burns it has to constantly monitor the heart rate, therefore I don't think the strapless kind are accurate.

Personally I never notice the strap and sometimes totally forget I'm wearing it until I change clothes.  It shouldn't be any more noticeable than say a bra strap and Polar makes a sports bra that holds the strap in the bra.

If you find one that is strapless and does constant measure of HR - please let us know. 

anyone else?????
