No matter which model you decide on, try to find it second hand on a website like Craigslist (or your local alternative). That's a general rule of thumb with all sports-related gear: there are always people who buy it new, never use it, and then sell it for much much cheaper.
I got my Polar HR strap for like 20€ (a new one would be 80) and my threadmill for less than 300 (new would be 500+). Same with my first Garmin watch, it wasn't even taken out of the original package but still about half of the price of a new one. People are weird.
