    I LOVE my polar ft40!

    It keeps track of my daily workouts (hours) & calories burned. It also stores them by the week so I can monitor my progress ---it's great seeing where my heart rate is during a workout...ie fat burn vs exercise mode << let's me know when I need to step my game up!

    If you've got an iPhone 4S, I highly recommend Wahoo's "Blue HR". It's a chest strap that sends to your iPhone and integrates nicely with other iPhone apps such as RunKeeper! The previous model used a little dongle that you had to plug into the iPhone's dock connector but this new model is Bluetooth Smart Ready (i.e., low power) and works with the iPhone 4S and is awesome -- I love it!

    now for a little dissent in the ranks... I'm using the Scosche MyTrek Bluetooth HRM synced to my iphone, using the $3 Digifit app to track heart rate, calories burned, etc. I love having quantifiable results in front of my face in the gym, and the app will provide audible feedback regarding your heart rate through your music/podcasts etc if you are running or cycling. Downside: not waterproof for swimming, a bit more expensive: about $115 CAD. The Digifit app is customisable for heart rate zones, custom workouts etc, and also keeps track of all your workouts, providing graphs and charts, perfect for us info geeks out there.

    Polar FT7 here and I love it. I got it to wear during water aerobics. Then started zumba, aqua zumba and going to the gym. If something ever happened to it, I would not hesitate to replace it with the same model.

    I have a polar FT4. I really like it only one complaint is one day durning my exercise it said it lost my heart rate. So I was unsure of my calories burned. Other than that one day it has worked great.

    Looking for one myself. I looked at Polarusa.com and they give a "Product Finder" to help you make decisions on what's best for you. I was looking on amazon.com and their prices are pretty good, but thanks for the tip on bodytronics. I'll check them out too!
