Hi,
I am in the process of purchasing a polar watch (I'm in the store!). I was hoping if anyone can tell me which one is the best to get... there are so many here. I want something that tells me how many calories I burn 24/7 so I can eat them back daily.
What do you have?

they are only meant to tell you what you burn while working out. I have a Polar FT4 and love it.0

Ive got an FT7. It doesnt work out calories 24/7 as you have to wear a strap at all times.
I love mine syncs to the gym equipment0 -
So if you wear it 24/7, would that benefit you?0
-
it would not be accurate0
-
so its only for the gym.. gotcha..
are the machines, elliptical, etc. not accurate?0 -
I wouldnt personally because I only want to track what I burn off during exercise.
I agree with Bellafe,0 -
Spin machines at my gym do not calculate calories burnt or HR
I have found my HRM has been more accurate than the machines and its nice knowing that I dont have to remember lots of numbers at once as its stored on my HRM.
Also I use mine during weights and group sessions0 -

in my opinion not as accurate as wearing your HRM you will notice a difference between both.0 -
i was hoping i could wear it all day so that it shows how many calories i burned off so i can eat them back!0

HRM for workouts. FitBit or similar device for tracking 24/7.0
-
FitBit is only for steps taken I thought?0
