I got the M61 because it allows you to do a resting fitness test. It also allows you to determine your range on any particular day based on a 5-minute series of increased activity and then put that range into the monitor.
Some of the other things I like are:
-soft strap on the better models
-the elapsed workout time
-being able to see that or the clock at the same time you are working out
-the amount of time you were in your zone (also let's you set your zone and then alarms when you are above or below)
-little marks for every ten minutes in your zone
-recaps everything from yor last workout
It does well measuring a resting heartbeat all the way up. I even checked at the drug store with their blood pressure machines and several times at the Dr.'s office. I really like this one. However, I'm sure the basic models are fine if you just want to see what your active rate it.
I found it as low as $139 with free shipping on line but took a few $150 price matches from the internet to a local store and they matched the $150 price. It lists for $179 on the Polar site recently but was reduced to $159? plus shipping.
