Hi, its exactly what it says in the title. I am currently using one I picked up from Aldi, which is ok, but I would like a slightly less temperamental one as sometimes it has little wobbles where it doesnt want to measure all the time. Slightly annoying.

I have been looking at the polar ones - especially as there is a nice pink watch to go with it :)

Can anyone give me any reviews of ones that they use and particularly like :)

Thank you

Nxx

    I like my Polar FT4 .....not fancy, but it does the job. Wrist only models are not as accurate as those with a chest strap. Wrist only models, measure your heart rate....from time to time. A chest strap doesn't care if your arms are flailing around.....and gives a constant heart rate measure....it's actually the electric impulses, not your actual pulse.

    I agree..love my Polar 4... does what I want without being too complicated.. and the chest strap is comfortable.. got mine off amazon for about 60ish,,,

    I agree with TeaBea. I have a Polar FT7 and love it. Before that I had a Sportline non-chest strap model and it drove me crazy. I couldn't get any readings once I started sweating.
