Hello everyone
I bought the Polar F4 today at Target but haven't opened it yet. After reading more about it online, some people say there is so stopwatch feature. I don't understand this, polar says it does have one but then I read it doesn't.
Can anyone that has this watch tell me?
I'm also wondering if I should get another one instead. The only features I want is the heart rate reader, calorie counter, and stopwatch. Surely there's a less expensive one but just as accurate watch?

    If you push the start button without your chest strap, it will start a timer instead of the calorie burn counter ... no milliseconds though.

    My Reebok XT was only $40 on Ebay brand new and works like a dream. FULL of features.

    m f4 tracks my time of working out and calories burned- Like when you put it on and you hit the the start button and it shows the heart symbol blinking then your actual heart rate will show up- Then you hit the right button and it will show you another screen I think that one shows your min to your max heart rate at the top with a little heart as we will call it your ticker kind of like a scale- but it also shows the amount of time you are working out-
    I think there is another screen if you click the right button again. Not sure Im not wearing mine-

    Then when your workout is done you hit stop and it will show your summary of working out- total time working out total time in target zone how many calories you burned you min heart rate and your max heart reached in your zone-- FYI I always surpass my max heart rate so to stop from annoying myself and everyone at the gym I turned my sound off-

    It will beep if your heart rate isn't up to the target zone as well. any questions feel free to ask-

    I love my F4
