does anyone have a polar f4 HRM?

I just ordered it and it should be here next week sometime and I am hoping that I made the right choice- I just want something that counts my calories burned even when I am not working out- and keeps track of my heart rate.

If you have a HRM do you wear it 24/7 even when you arent working out?

I want to see how many calories I burn daily? This wont do that or does it only show calories burned when your in your target workout zone- I dont need it as a watch thats why I have a cell phone lol

I just want to wear it 1 day for 24 hours to see how many calories I burn in a regular day without exercise and then deduct 500 calories from that so its more exact than just an estimate. then I will jsut where it for workouts

I have this one too. I only wear it when I work out as well. I've been told that they are not designed to tell you an accurate reading for a 24 hour period. But maybe it'll work.

I have, I love it.

I've never worn it for the whole day. I basically surf the three screens during my workout: calories burned, time, and heart rate - enough info for me, and very motivating!

I couldn't wear my chest strap for 24 hrs...I get a bruise sometimes right in the middle of the front of the strap...on my skin of course..

This is one of the HRMs that use a chest strap? I've wanted a HRM for a while but a chest strap sounds so uncomfortable especially when you're sweating anyway . . . is it really bulky and uncomfortable or is it OK?

I have the f6 and I don't even notice the chest strap 95% of the time...I even forget to take it off after I'm done working out until i go to take a shower! :laugh: I haven't worn mine for 24hrs but I guess you could.
