Whats the best heart rate moniter? I hear a lot about the polars and the garmin, I saw the polar 6 which looked kind of good. I mainly want it for spin class and for when I'm doing workout videos, I don't know much else about what they do lol! Thanks so much for your help!!!!

    I have a Polar F4. I use it to see how many calories I burned and to see what my heartrate's at during the workout. I really like it.

    I have the Polar F6 and I love it. The best thing I could have ever got.

    Is the watch and chest strap comfortable? I don't want anything too big on my arm thanks!

    With my F4, I don't even notice the chest strap. The watch is the normal size of a sports watch.

    Ok thanks, I think I might get one tomorrow, hopefully its worth it! I think it will push me to work out harder.

    I have the Polar F6 and love it too. I don't even notice the chest strap and I find it so easy to use.

    do you wear it all day long or just to exercise?

    How about the watch, can you use it like a normal watch?

    I only wear it to exercise because this website already calculates what I burn in an average day. You can wear it like a normal watch but I don't because mine is a light pink and I don't want it to get wrecked or dirty at my work.
