I want one I can use while in motion & continuous feedback would be great (so I guess it would have to have the chest strap). Calories burned and a stop watch feature would also be good. Other cool features I may be missing? Good value and performance, hopefully less than $100.

Honey? You have just found your best answer. LOL! Mine is called a WrisTech. It is a very small monitor with a cuff that goes right around your wrist. It takes a couple of triple AAA batteries and will keep track of previous readings. Mine has date, time, systolic, diastolic, pulse rate and it was about $40.00 on E-Bay. It is so small and really cool. Get that one. It's like a little blood pressure cuff. :)

I have a Polar A70 that does everything you want. No batteries (other than a watch battery) are necessary. I bought it at Sports Authority a few years ago for about $70. It works okay. I don't use it as much as I thought I would.
They have a variety of gizmos that you can add on if you want as well.
Check out their website:

If you need something that determines how far you ran (if you are a runner), you might want to check out the Garmin Forerunner 301. Does the heart rate thing as well as does a GPS to determine how far you've run.
