Hey everyone. I am in need/want to buy a new HRM. I currently have a Polar Bluetooth+, but I think I want something that isnt completely connected with my phone. Keeping my phone on me at all times while playing tennis (which I do the most of any exercise) is not fun or easy.

To my HRM friends....
I definitely want a Polar (I like my current Polar and it is VERY reliable)
I definitely want a chest strap

What would you recommend?

    I only have the FT4 but I'd highly recommend it. Works great and not too expensive. If you are tracking everything on MFP I don't think you need the additional capabilities of the FT7.

    I just bought the FT60 and so far I'm loving it!! Very much like a personal trainer/tracker!! Reliable, durable, and kinda cute (got the pink one) with the chest strap. Its comfy and i love the little messages it sends me when I've had a good wee!

    I have the Polar FT60 and it comes with chest strap and GPS arm strap. I love this HRM. As far as connected to phone I don't think so.

    I have the FT 4. it is not very expensive but works like a charm. I love it! I got it on amazon for 89.

    The FT4 I believe is the cheapest and like someone said, if you are using MFP you don't really need the extra features of the higher models.

    I got mine on ebay from somebody who had bought it but never used it for 60$ and it's seriously the best present I've ever bought myself.

    FT7 is great as it has a chest strap. if you want to track distance it doesn't have GPS which is an issue for me but wouldn't be for you if you mostly play tennis.

    I just bought the FT40, I had the F11 and am hoping the functionality is exactly the same. I would not suggest the FT4, it's okay, but doesn't base your estimated calorie burn on enough factors. Go for the FT7 at the minimum.
