I ordered a HRM off of Amazon, I went with a Polar, but just realized I ordered the Polar FT7 MEN'S Heart Rate Monitor and I am clearly a woman... will this make a difference or is it just a men's "size"??

    The Style of the watch will be a little bigger like a mens watch compared to a womans, other than that there will be no difference.

    It wont matter...you have to input your information manually (height, weight, female, male) and all that

    No difference in software, but if you have small wrists like me, it will be next to impossible to wear. The watch face on a women's HR monitor is often too large and makes it very uncomfortable for me to bend my wrist at all, a men's size would only be larger and more cumbersome. You can only try it on to see how it fits though!

    OK PHEW! I will have to see about the fit, I haven't been known to have "small" wrists, but I am just glad the information will process correctly :-) Thanks!
