Depends on how much you want to spend.

I use the Nike Imara HRM for $99. It works and does the job. Yes, now that I'm much deeper into training and racing and all that fancy stuff since I initially bought this HRM I would like to know more data on what I'm doing but this still tells me what I want to know:

What's my HR right now?
How long have I been riding/doing this interva/etc?
And if I want to be fancy - How many calories did I burn?

That's all I use it for at this point in time and it does the job for me.
