I have the Polar FT7 for women and LOVE IT! With shipping it was less than $80. I found an online coupon code that gave me so much off. Just google "free online coupons for heart rate monitors" and a whole bunch of stuff will come up. I think I ended up getting 8% off my total order or something like that.

I got my Polar FT7 from bodytronics for like 63 dollars, I think the FT4 was 50ish dollars. There is a coupon code or something like popo.

I'm with you on breaking the bank. Seems I can't find one cheap enough with good reviews.. Looks like I am going to need to start a savings acct for a hrm!! I can't even find a good deal on Ebay! The ones 85 and under have awful reviews.. I don't want to buy one and have to return it a day later..

Thanks everyone I'm glad I saw this thread. I'm glad there's a good "cheap" version on polar. everyone always told me to go for the polar FT60F which is expensive!

I haven't read the reviews, but I got mine from Walmart for $28.88. I haven't seen the reviews, but I like it. I think it's called sport line or something. I think it works just as well as the $100 watch my boss bought.

I'm having the same issue Ksotovelez...the Polar is just too expensive for me at the moment, I was wanting to spend not more than $30 but I don't want to buy a piece of crap that sucks and is inaccurate.

I have the Polar FT7, got it back in December and use it daily. They are inexpensive and quality. It has been said and I will state it again, get one that has a strap, you can find "cheap" that are watches but they are not as accurate or IMO user friendly. You need to touch a sensor on the watch to get a reading {yes some have the senor on the back but those run a little higher in price.}

looked mine up, it's actually $27.77 I think it's fine. I feel like it's acurate. On the reviews someone said they have to come to a complete stop to get their HR, but I don't have that problem. And some people say they have to dry their finger to test it, but I actually think it works better when it's sweaty.
For the price, if I do have to try two times to get the heart rate, it's not a big deal. I'd rather do that than pay a lot more money. And it's was more accurate/better than trying to go off of the machine or MFP.

I've been told that when the battery goes in a Polar chest strap you have to replace the whole strap. Is that right?

Thanks for all the replies!

Depends on the model you have. My FT7 you can replace the battery in the watch and the strap.
