Polar heart rate monitor watches

Hey guys! I just ordered the Polar ft60! I have been wanting to purchase one for awhile now so I am pretty excited! Anyone have this HRM? Any tips? Opinions?

    I have the FT4 which I think is a "lesser" model... I LVOE mine!! The best thing about the HRM is that if you see your heartrate getting lower, you can push yourself right then and there and get it up there. I started off with right around 280 calorie burns and now get 100 more calories in the same workout, just by pushing myself.

    The only tip I have is to get the chest band wet enough. Over time, it can become a little wonky. I am trying to figure out if my battery is low in the sensor or what. It's been since March of last year that I've owned it.

    I have the FT4 model, too, and I love it. When I'm consistent about my cardio - I try to shoot for 400 calories per workout....I've been sucking the past week and haven't done crap.

    Need to get out of this slump!
