HRM Recommendations

sherrymo6

I am in the market to get a heart rate monitor to more accurately predict my calories burned. I have been doing some research and have also been reading the recent posts here regarding HRMs. I am hearing good and bad about them. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on a good HRM. One that you feel most accurately predicts your calories burned. Do you feel that your purchase has been worth it? Thanks.

I bought the Polar FT4 after doing some research (Amazon $70), and I couldn't be happier with my purchase over the last two months. It works great, and I am now getting more accurate calorie burns for all my exercises and activities - and I barely notice the chest strap. You'll definitely want one with a chest strap for better accuracy.

Definitely worth every dollar I paid.

I did a bit of research before deciding on Polar FT7 I faced off Timex T5G971 and the Polar. I decided on the Polar due to friends recommendations that have & have been using one plus although the Timex has a lot of good reviews it also has some complaints of inaccurate cal count & durability issues. The Polar appears to have a lot of support for being comfortable, durable and accurate.

Cheers

PS - I don't actually have mine yet - it's on it way to me right now.
Another PS - for a balanced view as per "Nigel99" - yes I've also seen quite a few posts from people with FT4 that are more than happy too.
