I used to never wear a heart rate monitor, but now I love working out with one. In fact, on the days I forget it, I feel totally naked. I realize that not everyone wears a heart rate monitor, so I am curious about you guys.

Many people get frustrated with their heart rate monitors (HRM) because if they have dry skin, don't sweat a lot, or any other reason (hairy chest), the HRM ends up not functioning the way it should.
HRM technology is based on reading the body's electric current, which varies from person to person. To ensure a proper heart rate display, heart rate monitor manufacturers stress the importance of wet electrodes, which is why most HRM users lick or spit on their transmitters.

Want to monitor your heart rate during a workout but can't stand the chest strap or touching the sweaty sensors on the cardio machines at the gym?
The Mark of Fitness MF-180 ($67.95) is a continuous reading chest-belt-free exercise heart rate monitor that allows easy, accurate and reliable determination of calories burned. The semi-glove design with base of finger sensing makes it look like something out of transformers, but would be ideal for anyone who does not like the chest strap. Since it doesn't use a transmitter, it's free from the interference problems.
