I have a Polar 610i heart rate monitor, and according to my records, I started using it on 7/17/2005. I have not worn it for every workout, but most of them. It keeps a total of the calories and hours. The total I have now is 672,843 calories and 1,333 hours. That's 500 calories per hour and 28 hours per month which is about what I expected. Only one battery change so far and I have had no problems at all with it. The reason I'm taking a look at this data is because I have a Garmin on order. My trusty Polar may get pushed to the bottom of my gym bag, only to come out to play in Kickboxing class or when I'm on the treadmill.
The Garmin I've pre-ordered is a 310XT. It's like the 305 except it has improved water resistance and a 20 hour battery life. I should have by the end of July, hopefully sooner. I'm excited about going out to run without mapping the mileage on my computer.

I have a 305 and 405 and love them. I think the Garmin 310XT look great. Look forward to a post (product review) one you get it.
Oh, I have Garmin envy. I love my 305 and would love an excuse to get the new one. You'll have to give us a product review after you have used it for a while. Let's see, 672,843 calories is about 177 pounds of fat burned. Amazing!
Yes, I will review it after I've had it awhile.
Beth.... So, I lost about 177 pounds of fat in the past 47 months but I must have also gained about 182 pounds of fat during that same time. :-) I better keep running!
