I had a heart rate monitor watch but it was really cheap and it broke, and even when it worked you had to hold down this button for 5 seconds to get a single reading of your heart rate (and it didnt work if you were moving too violently for the watch).
I want a comfortable strap that goes around your midsection, and maybe a watch that gives you a display of the results...
are there any good straps that come WITH a watch?
Answer
I swear by my Garmin, I got a 301 model on Amazon, cheap and though there are newer versions, they don't have anything this model had. Will give you your heart rate, you can set an alarm to go off if you go over or under a certain number of beats per minute, has GPS so it will tell you how far you've run, at what rate per mile or km, your average heart rate, how many calories burned, your time, has a training assistant that will let you know if you are ahead or behind of apace you have set for yourself, will time intervals letting you know how fast you have done them and when it is time to do another one. I could go on. O, you did say watch. Timex has one.

Best Running Watch with distance/heart rate monitor?

I am new to this type of running and need to be able to monitor my heart rate. Distance is important also and am not sure if GPS or Pedometer is best.
Answer
Garmin Forerunner 305. A pedometer is based on stride distance and this varies widely based on how tired you are you, weather or not you are running up or downhill, etc.
