Polar HRM help!

koriekris

What is your opinion on how accurate a HRM is? I'm reading different things and after doing a 40 minute workout with my new Polar HRM (brand new-first time using it today), the calories burned seemed wayyy off so I just stuck with the MFP calories burned. Any knowledge on this is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!
