Just bought a Polar FT80! Anyone else have it?

Let's be MFP friends if you have a Polar FT80!
I just got mine today and saw MFP was actually undershooting calorie burn a bit for my workouts in group exercise classes. And I was pretty stunned to see that my heart rate barely got into the top heart rate zone during classes today as well. I'm definitely going to take it up a notch to get my heart rate up.
Just want to see how others are using this awesome tool and learn together.

I am borrowing an old Polar HRM from my mom, just to try. it needs new batteries. it has a chest band. I am excited to see how it works!
Congrats to you0 -
I wear my HRM for all activities. It really makes a difference when logging.0

It's amazing how humbling these little gems are. I thought I was tearing it up until I actually saw my performance in real time!0

I just got an FT4 today (after some seriously impatient waiting) but I'd be glad to have other HRM-using friends.0
