I saw this on Amozon.com Polar FT7 Women's Fitness Heart Rate Monitor (color: Red/Silver) for around $63 any comments? Is it worth it, how reliable is it does it synch to MFP? Please advise I am on a limited budget.

Thanks for any help :smile:

    The reason I chose the Polar FT7 is because it comes with a chest strap and I can't afford to buy these pieces seperately.

    I like the Zephyer HRM, links through bluetooth, easy software application using Sports Track Live, also gives cadence and works with phones GPS to provide speed, altitude, pace, calories burned and much more.

    I have the Polar FT4 and love it. I've been using HRMs for years, and it totally changes how I view my workout. It doesn't "sync" to MFP (like the Fitbit), but you just type in your numbers. The HRM will show you how long your workout was, and how many calories you burned.

    I think it's a fabulous investment for the new you ;)

    Love my FT7. I don't know about synching but it tells me my calories burned, I plug those in, and mfp learns as I go along.

    Hmmm. My FT4 came with a chest strap too. I think it would be odd to sell one without it. Is this a used item? That may make sense, then.
