Why, you might ask? Most people don't know how hard they're working AND don't work out hard enough. Sure, you can go by Perceived Exertion (how you're feeling, breathing, sweating, etc), but if you really want to know where you're at, where you should be, BUY ONE OF THESE! They will even beep to remind you you're not in your heart rate range (if it's too high or too low)! It will make you more aware of how hard you're working (or NOT working), and will be a good starting point for your fitness level.
SO, what are you waiting for??? BUY ONE at your local sporting good store, Costco, Target, or Walmart!

Are there certain brands that are better than others? And do I need to look for certain features?
Polar makes a great heart monitor watch, and so does Nike now. Honestly, if you just want the basic feature that measures your heart rate, that is good enough if you can figure out your target heart rate zone (220-age and then 60% and 85% of that number).
I prefer a watch with a little more features-one that you put your personal data in, and it figures out your zone, how many calories you burned, etc.
