Polar FT7 question

BrendarB

Hi everyone, I just got the above heart monitor and am all excited to give it a try tomorrow for the WOD, but I have a question. Do I have to wear the watch thing or can I get away with just wearing the strap around the chest?

You need both, the chest strap is just a transmitter than sends you pulse to the watch, the watch does all the calorie counting and such based on the info you put into it.

You need both unless you just wanna wear a watch lol. I made that mistake when I went to a Alzehiemer walk. My Hubby decided to tell me when we arrived that I needed the chest strap too lol.

Thanks, I guess I gotta get used to wearing a watch again.

Technically, it just needs to be near the transmitter. So you could wear the watch part anywhere. In fact, you could probably remove the band and just put the watch part in a tiny pocket if you wanted.
