I am looking to upgrade to a better HRM. I am looking at the Polar F4. Anyone use this? The reason I want to upgrade is because then one I have does not work well when I do my 30ds video or Zumba videos. It will basically only track when i am on a machine at the gym. When I do videos it does not read my heart rate correctly it tells me my HR is over 200 which I know is not true!
Does anyone have these issues with Polar F4?? Do you use yours while doing work outs at home and it still reads your heart rate correctly?

    I got a monitor at Modell's that i HATED. I have heard poor reviews about most monitors.

    I have a Polar F4 and I love it. I use it both on the machines and when I do boot camp classes or work out videos. It seems to be pretty accurate and consistent.

    The only time I've gotten strange HR readings is when it's time to wash the chest strap. Wash it in the washer, let it air dry and works like a charm the next time. Good luck!
