    Polar FT4, had it almost a year. Love it, it's made all the difference in my weight loss.

    I have the Polar ft4 and love it!! Its is very accurate, easy to use, the chest strap is comfy, the watch isn't big and bulky ( it's actually really cute!), you can wear it swimming, the batteries are user changeable, it keeps your last several workouts in memory, and it was under $70. The only thing I'd want it to have that it doesn't is gps but you have to pay at least 3 times more for one with gps and I use Nike + on my iphone when I run anyway while listening to music so it's not really necessary. Very much worth the $!! I also have a fitbit but it isn't as accurate with calorie burn especially with higher intensity workouts, it doesn't monitor your heart rate. Hope that helps. :)

    Thanks, I don't run, prob never will. I love Zumba, dancing, and wt training wanted so all of those are relatively in one place so no gps needed, I will look into this one, thanks. It's no rush. I tend to do it the way we learned in wt. training class, take your pulse or monitor by the exertion scale, pretty accurate once you learn how to use it. thanks again
