Hello! I got a Polar ft 7 for Christmas, just have a few questions.
Do y'all wear it when doing any activity, like shopping,cleaning, etc? I noticed after a hard workout if I keep it on it's still burning calories, grant it I am moving around. Does anyone wear it all day? Any feedback,tips appreciated :)
Thanks.

    I have oe too, its great. Ive heard of people wearing them all day just to see how many calories they burn but ive never done it myself. I wear it only while exercising.

    HRMs are NOT accurate for low heart rate activities. They are meant to be used during steady state cardio only.

    People do it, but its not accurate. Nor is it accurate for things like strength training.

    I only wear mine during workouts. Input start it during warm up, and stop after cool down.
