You should try a POLAR watch I use the RS800CX for my runs and cycling, helped me a lot in improving my overall performance.

I use an HRM with my garmin edge. Works great for me.

I'm a HUGE fan of the Garmin 405cx:

Tracks more than just heart rate and wirelessly downloads all your info to your MAC or PC.

Just remember not to put too much stock in those crazy charts that tell you what your heart rate should be.
I write for a science lifestyle magazine about topics like this. Check my article out if you are interested:
