    Once I got my HRM I found that it was off by 150-200 cals or so. Not sure if this helps a whole lot... if you are thinking of investing in a HRM, DO IT!!!

    I thought LONG and hard about it before I did, but I LOVE mine. Got it on Amazon for $60... totally worth it!

    Which one did you get for $60?? All the Polar ones I was looking at were like $110.

    Hey there dear... Polar ft4 on amazon. Shipping was free also :)

    not sure if this link will work, but I will give it a try:

    Sorry, forgot to add, the bronze colored one is $64... I don't really care about color, so it seemed like a good deal to me. happy hunting :)
