I thought of buying a HRM until recently when I realized how gosh darn expensive they are and how easily they are screwed up by the slightest electronic insult.
I've decided on the 6 second count of the thumping jugular instead. I do it while running to get an accurate idea, and you can usually tell if it's 150, 160, or somewhere in between (Say 155). That's accurate enough for me, and it's free.

This watch is exactly what I am talking about. A decent HRM for under 40 bucks. Just be aware that it has no lap memory. I have a very similar watch that I keep in my glove box as an emergency extra. I originally bought it and was happy with the HRM performance but eventually had to admit that I really needed to be able to review my splits. I ponied up 60 bucks and got another timex with 50 lap memory.
This 40 dollar watch uses the same exact digital HRM system as their top of the line.
you can get a hr monitor with time and alarm clock for less than 15 dollars. I ordered one 2 wks ago and i am expecting delivery this week.
