Hi all

I bought a vivofit band and heart rate monitor as I use the gym and want to start running. I am really disappointed with it and spent $180. When I run it automatically syncs to MFP and says I have done something different. If you want to change something you can etc.

Anyway are there any hrm you use or just apps alone that seem to be good? Especially for running?

Thanks in advance :)

    I have a polar FT40, costed me about 50€.. Not too much :)
    It's great, it'll just show you your HR while working out and it will also give you calories burned.
    Didn't have any trouble with it yet.

    Ah great thanks for that. Where you buy it from?

    I bought it at decathlon, a large sports store. I think it's almost in every country in europe, but you're not from europe maybe? So not sure if you have it over there. I'm sure you can find it online too. On amazon maybe.

    I use a Polar FT7. Thinking it's time for upgrade but still in same brand. it's been loyal
    I think you can change your settings so they don't sync with MFP...at least that's what i did when using MapMyRun
