Hey I'm alittle knew to all this ... Im trying to loose weight, i really want a calories burned, heart rate, etc. watch
I especially want it to be a watch though...
At first I heard about Fitbit products I did like them I know there may be some watch products
But I really got interested in these two watches which were the Garmin FR70 and the Polar FT4
I do know they both got heart rate monitor straps, they got the calories burned, and a watch
thats all I'm basically looking for I know they may not be the best and most accurate in calories burned but
which one should i go for?
Any suggestions or experience

I like the Polar FT4. Basic. Counts calories burned and measures your heart rate.0

I got a second hand FT4 on Ebay and it's been fine; really simple, does what you need it to do.0
