    Its a HRM (heart rate monitor). Its a watch. Polar is a brand of HRM (top brand??) The F4 calculates calorie expenditure. Quite cool. Got some more info in this post: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/22168-hrms-and-calorie-count-things
    Ha I paid NZ$200 - not too much but I'm a student and that was the exact amount I had lol. Ohhh well, I'm excited! My mum wasn't too pleased but hey... she hasnt had to try losing weight!

    Hi Marshall,

    Well done on the weight loss. Great to have a heart rate monitor. I have a F1 i think. Pretty boring one really. How much weight are you trying to lose????
