I'm looking to buy an HRM and trying to figure out the difference between the men's and women's Polar FT7's. Are they the exact same just different colours?

    I hope you get an answer because I was wondering the same thing! I am assuming DH and I could share it?

    Most likely size. I dont know if there are different settings for mens heart rates or not

    Color and size of the band. I have the women's FT4 because I have really small wrists and the men's sizes don't do up tight enough.

    There's a mens and womens version? Who'da thunk it. The ones I was looking at all looked the same, no where were they labeled as gender specific? Now I'm curious what your looking at!

    I think its colour and size - I bought the grey FT4 and its size is perfect for me, but I guess super slim wrists my struggle.

    It's the size. And women's have more color options.

    Is there a male/female setting.....does it matter?

    When you do the set up on the monitor it will ask you for your sex regardless of the model #.

    Wristband/watch size. Women tend to have smaller wrists. Also, I do believe the woman's watch comes in more colors...
    Red is pretty dashing :blushing:

    Just posting to confirm what others have said. The only difference is the size of the wristband and the color.

    just the colour and size of the strap. I ended up with a 'men's' one, because I didn't want pink. It still has options in the user setting for male/female.

    Thanks for all of the replies! Guess I'll try one on for size first as I am partial to the "men's" black and red stripe one.
