Polar F4
Good HRM, easy to use. The only draw back is when the battery runs out (after 2 years use 3/4 times a week)it didn't work properly even though it was sent back to manufacturer. Now I have to buy a replacement..

Perfect first HRM.
This was the first HRM I owned, and it is perfect for beginners. Everything is very simple to understand, and set up. The unit is attractive looking, and highly accurate (you can see your HR rise the moment you start moving), with enough real features to keep you motivated, and actually put it to good use either in the gym or on the road.

One thing I've since discovered, is that Polar HRM's are much easier to use than some other models (check a few manuals online to see for yourself). The F4 is very simple: simply enter some initial data (age, sex, weight), and then put the strap on (wet the reverse with some tap water) and you're ready. Click the start button. The unit has useful exercise views (duration, time in zone, calories, avg heart rate, max heart rate) which you can cycle through with a button press as you work out. Once finished, you view an exercise summary screen, which displays all this information. The data is then added to a totals file (which can be reset at will -- ie: at the end of the week).

All in all, this is perfect for a beginner. It does enough for it to be useful for a couple of years, before you will want to move onto something more complicated. Don't spend £150+ on a HRM first time; try something like this and make sure you need extra features. This worked like a dream for me, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a simple (but effective) heart rate monitor.

A shame about the battery
Someone bought me this heart rate monitor a couple of years ago as a gift. It is really good, easy to use and enough data to support a moderate to high fitness level. I used it in the gym and for road running and found it a very helpfull training tool. In fact I hate training without one now. Only problem is the battery in the monitor ran out after about 18 months, i was using it 4 to 6 times a week. I then found I had to send it off to have the battery replaced which is not only time consuming but also expensive. So I am now put off buying this brand again, however much I enjoyed the equipment. There are other brands out there that can deliver the same quality monitors without the inconvenience of not being able to get the battery changed yourself.
