Aerobic training season is coming up for me again, and I'm in the market for a heart rate monitor.

First off, I have a Polar T41 strap that's compatible with my exercise bike and treadmill. Are all heart rate watches compatible with this? Or will I need to buy one specific (Polar) to this strap?

I'm looking for a relatively inexpensive monitor that simply displays my heart rate and syncs with the chest strap. I'm also looking at one that displays speed as well as heart rate but is not a large step up in price.

Any suggestions? What kind of heart rate monitor do you use? What features does it have? How reliable is it?
