Best Heart Rate Monitor

Interested to see what HRM people are using. I am looking to get one to help track with calories that allows data to be uploaded to Computer.
Was looking at this one
https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=84374&ra=true

I have a heart arrhythmia (SVT) and have previously been advised that they won't be accurate for me? Not sure if anyone knows different. My previous HRM would freeze when I had an attack or blow my expended calories up, but it was a cheap one.
 
If you want top of the line ones, both Garmin and Polar are good. I've got a Polar F11 and it's fine.
Not sure how they handle the arrythmia though. There's not a lot of diff between them all in terms of technology etc.
Which model you want depends on features you want.
 
I bought this one from Amazon:

I'm not sure it will do everything you want, but it suits me fine. Most importantly for me, it has a user replaceable battery.

My advice is to import one from the US - you'll pay about 50% less for the equivalent watch.
 
The Garmin 405 is the best! I love how it can give me real time feedback on my jogging sessions, and the strapon is very comfortable too. Wireless uplink to my PC as soon as I get home. What more can I ask for?
