Which is better for monitoring calories burned in exercise, a FitBit (in which case, which one) or a Polar FT40M?

Or, are they not analogous?

    Polar HRM fitbit is great for everyday tasks but cannot know the intensity of your excercise for instance it cant tell the difference between a run and a walk

    Right, for exercise the HRM.

    Many thanks - as a result of a Google search on the "Polar HRM fitbit" reference, which confused me, in the first reply I found that this question has been addressed before and that it is like comparing sausages and bacon - both are very nice in their own way but not necessarily alternatives and may even go well together.

    Thankyou for your replies. Now I know Santa needs to pack on his sleigh
