I just got myself my first hrm, a polar ft4 and I am really enjoying it. I am 19 weeks pregnant and I was wondering if that affects the accuracy of the hrm since during pregnancy your resting heart rate is 5-10 bpm higher then when your not pregnant.
Also I cant figure out how to set up the feature that allows you to keep a record of your training sessions online.

    I have wondered the same thing (about accuracy of calories and HR). I have an (older) F6. I haven't found anything that links my workouts online - but mine does keep them on file on the watch. I just update my workout here on mfp with calories burned. my heart rate does seem ramped up now that I am 17 weeks. I input my calories burned anyway, I guess its close enough (for me).

    did you check the polar website? if you can connect online (my garmin does that) it should have all the info there for you. I just skimmed the site - and it looks like your watch might only keep 10 workout summaries on file.

    good luck!
