Hello MFP,
I'm looking into getting a new HRM to track my calories and calories burned! Any opinions on the best HRM out there and where it can be found will be greatly appreciated! 'm thinking about getting a polar FT4 or FT7!
Thanks JB

    I got the FT4 as an early V-Day gift. So far, I love it.

  • It might not be exactly what you're looking for, but I use a Zephyr bluetooth HRM and track it with endomondo on my phone - works well for me.

    I just got the Polar 4 and I love it, the chest strap isn't nearly as uncomfortable as I thought it would be, reasonable price too
  • I've got a Polar FT7 and I'm very happy with it. Keeps a log of your workouts and tells you if you are in the fatburn or aerobic zone. Hope this helps.

    My BF finds his Polar F7 a really useful tool. I don't have one yet.

    I have the Polar FT7 and I LOVE it! Since using it my weight loss has started back up. I got it from Bodytronics with free shipping. It is the cheapest place I've seen.

    ^^ Agree!! I got one for Christmas and love it!! Especially good to track calories burned when doing strength training.
  • I have a Zephyr and really like it. Love that it recharges and doesn't need batteries. I connect to Sports Tracker Pro on my Android phone for tracking.

    lol biker mike and my comment are almost the same!
  • My husband and I have the polar FT7. We LOVE them! I can also use the polar web site to track my stats. I don't, but I can if I wanted to. We both agree that we don't really notice the chest strap. I know you can buy them at Best Buy, Amazon.com, and heartratemonitorsusa.com.

    I've got the polar FT60 and its fantastic! I got it of ebay for £99.99. It has a replaceable battery you can do yourself. Important as is costs a fortune to get this done! X

    Polar FT7 all the way. The chest strap just feels like a snug sports bra and is not annoying at all. I love being able to see my heart rate at all times (so I know when to bump it up a notch), and I find the calorie burn information to be very motivational.

    I've been wanting to get a good one, too! I was looking at the Polar FT40 and FT60, and they look AWESOME! However, I think they have waaaay more features than I will ever use at my current stage of physical fitness. Perhaps I'll invest in something like that once I am able to do more running and other athletic events. Right now, though, I'd prefer something a little more simplistic. I'm thinking the Polar FT4F is more my cup of tea.

  • I love my FT40. Works great and never lets me down!

    I have a polar ft7, and love it! However I got it at the same price as the ft4 was because it was mis priced. I would of gotten the ft4 had that not been the case. Also I beleive they are pretty much the very same with the exception of the ft7 being able to connect via a wire to the internet to relay info. The connective wire for that is not included, and the info can be added manualy in any case.

    I have a timex, believe it or not, and it's great. But the best HRM is the one you use.
