One thats not going to break the bank and is ANT+
Depends on its intended use really, if its for Running use only the Forerunner 15 does a great deal for the money - it also has an integrated GPS.
For multisports a second hand 910XT can be found for 60-75 quid.
If you want one to do all of this and be wearable day to day, a Vivoactive is pretty trick, this is my current choice.
Yes, I am Garmin Fanboy, but if ANT+ is a requirement then I suspect the fairly soon Garmin will be the only choice; Garmi own the ANT+ standard and charge other manufacturers for it's use.
I've been impressed so far with my mio fuse.
wrist/optical based and much more comfortable than a chest strap. ANT+ and Bluetooth LE so compatible with my Garmin and my phone.
It's to use whilst riding and connect to my Garmin.
Another vote for the Mio - I've got the Link which the website says is ANT+ but I've only used with Bluetooth but its great: more comfortable than a chest strap, good battery life seems to be fairly accurate as well.
Garmin but get the soft strap version, I forget I've got it on sometimes.
Mio fuse here too, use for gym as well.
Mind you, you could have my old chest strap for £25, it's the most up to date soft one fromGarmin, came with my 1000.
Bluetooth and Ant+, chest strap nice and soft, replaceable battery. Cheap option for a trial definitely.
