calories burned: MFP estimates vs. HRM estimates (Polar FT4)

NovemberJune

Thanks! I actually ordered mine on pedometersusa.com. I got free shipping and they have the brown and the silver for $60! they don't have the other color options though.

Great post!

For the record, Amazon has the FT4 for $69.56 in Women's Brown.... BUT, you can ACTUALLY get the Black/Silver Mens FT7 for LESS @ $68.74 OR the Black/Gold Womens FT7 for $76.36!!! There is NO difference between the Men's & Women's watches. I have the Black/Silver. My Wife has the Black/Gold. Go for the FT7, more features, less money SURPRISINGLY!
