    I have the Polar H6 Bluetooth HRM that connects to the PolarBeat app. Your iphone becomes the HRM and it auto uploads to the online database to see your progress. I had the PolarFT4 and then the FT40, but settled on just the strap since I do everything and anything on my iphone. it is only $56.93 on Amazon. (be advised that the H7 strap has really bad reviews so don't go with that one) have yet to come across any issues with the H6 though.

    I'm a HUGE fan of the Polar FT4 :) It's high end enough to give you a good calorie burn count yet low end enough that the price is very affordable. I got mine on Amazon for $60 I think... comes in Gray and Pink.


    I have this and love love love it - best Christmas present ever.

    2nd this! I have the pink one, love it

    I also have an FT4 and for a long time I loved it and relied on the numbers it gave me. I was stuck in a plateau for almost 6 months. SO, I bought the Bodymedia Link and discovered why...the HRM was WAYYYYY off and I was eating at maintenance for all that time. Since I got the Bodymedia Link I have eaten at a 400 calorie deficit (like I thought I was doing before) and lost 1.5 pounds in 2 weeks (exactly as it should be).

    My thoughts: don't trust the HRM - get a bodymedia link instead.

    My vote is for the FT4 too. Just got it about two weeks ago. So far I think it's great. Don't think you need anything with more options to start. Good luck in you HRM hunt.

    I've heard great things about the FT4 and the reviews pretty much speak for themselves. I'm planning to purchase one soon!

    I recently upgraded to the FT4 from an older model that I've had for about ten years. It's still going strong. I wanted the additional functions, so upgraded. It's fantastic.

    got gifted a Polar FT4. I haven't yet figured out how to use all the functions but the ones I need - Calories burnt , duration, etc are perfect. I'd recommend it

    if you are looking for a heart rate monitor that is going to keep count of your calories, count of your heart rate and inexpensive then this one is what i have and it works just fine, easy to read and easy to use

    Hope that helps :)
