Its no Garmin...

but it gets the job done! AND it was soooooooooooo super affordable, how could I pass it up?

What am I talking about? The Reebok Precision Trainer XT Heart Rate Monitor
with Chest Strap. I got the recommendation from the dailymile.com and liked how it synced up wirelessly with Polar-enabled cardio machines at the gym. I was wondering how the super- fast- girl- that- can- run- for- hours had her heartrate up on the treadmill while she was running...she must have a nifty gadget with the same specification. :) Like I said, its no Garmin, but I'm still quite excited about it. :)
