    I use a Polar F4 and like it a lot!!

    This!
    I got mine from bodytronics.com for less than $60 with a coupon code that someone on here recommended. I love it. Absolutely no complaints, and it confirmed what I suspected. MFP's calorie estimations are way too generous. Definitely a worthwhile investment.

    This...again. I just ordered my Polar F4 from bodytronics.com today and if you don't mind a 5-10 day wait, the shipping is free. It cost me just under $62.00. Can't wait to get it and make sure I'm tracking my exercise accurately! :flowerforyou:

    Is the only difference between the female and male watches the color? I want the red and black one but its listed as male. Just wanna make sure the only difference is color.

    I think the strap for the male watch is slightly bigger, unless you have really small wrists the male one should be fine! :smile:

    I have an older Polar (maybe four, five years old). Even the women's monitor wrist strap is a little big on me, but I have small wrists.

    I had the very same dilemma. I went with the woman's pink F4. Besides the color, he only difference is the size of the watch strap. Men's is wider than the women's.
    I LOVE my F4!!

    For all of you with the Polar FT4.... does it have ANT+ so that you can connect with mapmyfitness or any of these other iphone/ipad apps?

    If you work out at a gym, be sure that you get a heart rate monitor that is coded to prevent cross-talk, otherwise, you'll pick up the transmissions of the HRMs worn by people near you.

    Polar anything is great! I have the F4 and I love it. I've had it for about 2 years now.

    Polar. Get an entry level model.

    PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE CALORIES BURNED ESTIMATE. Not as an eating guide, at least.
    Can you elaborate on this? I find the calories burned estimate on my HRM (Polar FT4) to be a lot less than the estimate in MFP, and even runkeeper is a little more generous than my HRM.

    I have the Polar FT7 and find the calories burned feature very useful and if anything the estimate is lower than mfp.
