Quality affordable heart rate monitors

Hello,

I would like to purchase HR monitors for my classes. I would like a class set of accurate quality wrist watch HR monitors that could do other things as well (calories burned, distance, pace, etc).

I would like to avoid the devices that have the student wear a strap around their chest that sends signals to the watch type things if that is possible but I don't know if it is without losing accuracy.

Does anyone out there have a HR monitor device that they absolutely love and it meets their expectations? I want to teach my students about the heart rates, to evaluate if they are in the target heart rate zone and discuss recovery time.
