Polar FT7 - Does the Womens/Mens matter?

Just wondering... I'd rather order one of the black styles myself and wanted to double check if the fact that it's sold as a 'Men's' watch matters? Is it already inputted into the HRM that the wearer is male then and would it maybe mess with the calculations?
I'm not so much of a red/pink kind of girl, but will deal if I must :tongue:
Thanks!

    The only difference between the two is the size of the chest strap they come with. The women's version comes with a smaller strap which it says fits size XXS-M, while the men's version comes with a larger strap that starts at size M and goes up to XXL I believe. Aside from that, the color is the ONLY difference. The electronics are identical and when setting it up you have to tell it whether male or female anyway.

    Wonderful, thank you so much! I was hoping it still required you to input gender once you got it, but was a little hesitant that it's sold AS a men's version. Thank you for the quick reply! :flowerforyou:
