KSH, I just bought a basic Polar HRM. It is actually really easy to use! Only one button, which is great!

I'm not all about the fancy doodads either... I don't even have a computer on my bike (it's actually sitting at home in a box, has been for a year... I hate things with wires, they make me claustrophobic, so I think I'll have to get a wireless one if I get one at all).

Anyway, just saying that there are some easy to use HRMs out there. Mine's the very basic one from Polar, and I only use it when I run. So far it's been pretty easy! Of course, I only use one simple function of it!
