I recently purchased the polar ft4. And it's my first one. And all I want to know is do you have to wear the strap around your chest in order to use the calorie count feature? Thank you..

    Um, yes. That is how it works.

    Yes. You need to wear the chest strap if you want ANY of the features to work. Maybe just the timer would work without it, but even then I am not sure as I haven't tried it. I thought that the chest strap was going to be a huge pain when I got mine, but got it anyways cuz I heard it was more accurate than the ones that just have sensors on the wrist strap. I use mine every single day and the chest strap isn't any more uncomfortable than my sports bra.

    I'm getting the FT4 (the pink one yay!) for mothers day, I never thought about not wearing the chest strap. Anyhow one of my friends has the same model and she was getting inaccurate readings due to the strap touching the underwire on her sports bra. Just a heads up to make sure its fitted properly before working out!
