Just bought an HR, what about the Polar?

Hi, i currently have a flex and waiting for my HR to be shipped. After much mulling over the decision I decided to upgrade.

Does anyone still use their Polar HRM during exercise? Or do you find that the Charge HR does an accurate enough job tracking exercise?

    I have a chest strap HRM (not a Polar) that I still use when I run on the treadmill. However, I don't use it because my Charge HR isn't accurate enough. I have other reasons for using it then, that are unrelated to accuracy. When I do use it, the average HR that it comes up with and the average HR that my Fitbit comes up with are always within 1 or 2 BPM of each other.
