So what sort of experiences you have with HRMs? Been curious but haven't tried or used one for years?

Just bought a Polar HRM (model WM1)

I work at the gym in the mornings, putting the place together before customers come in, and started noticing how many non athlete but regular aerobics or spinning trainer or just people who frequent the gym use those. So I went to ask are they good and how much they cost, and got curious as ppl told me they can see from their heart rate when they are soon getting a flu or how their practicing is starting to pay off. I have never counted calories in my life as I always found it too difficult to keep notes, but now I got a "wrist watch" that does it for me as long as I tell it what my meals (approx) amount in kcals. It also asks my weight every morning, nosy watch... and promises me I will lose 8kg in 11 weeks if I keep doing what it tells me. So now I got a personal exercise and meal plan and I am trying to stick to it. It's silly how much fun it's been to see statistics like how long I have trained in total this week, average HR in last exercise and keep pedalling untill I reach the next full 100-number in kcals.
