Hello Fitpal Community!

I'm looking into buying an updated heart rate monitor and the Polar FT80 has caught my eye..

Any feedback on this unit or reccomendations on other monitors?

Happy Holidays!

    IMO you can't go wrong with Polar. I think they have a chart on their web site that compares the features of their models. I used it to pick the model I wanted and then googled that model to find the best price.

    I just got one at BestBuy (early Christmas present). Sportsline I think it's called with 5.3kHz transmitter chest strap and watch. I think Amazon has one with 5.3kHz and bluetooth. Anyway, it works with the runtastic app on my android phone and also transmits to our treadmill. And it comes with a watch that displays your heart rate. I have not tried any of the others. But I am pretty happy with this one.
