Hi everyone!
I have heard so many great things about the Polar FT4 heart rate monitor, but does anyone think that the Polar FT40 is worth the extra money?
I can't decide between the two...

    I don't know about the FT4 but I have the FT40 and LOVE it. I got it on Amazon for just over $100 and it's worth every penny. It tells me calories burned, my V02max etc..

    Oh great! The FT4 seems pretty basic which I why I was leaning toward the FT40. Thank you! :happy:

    I love my ft4 but if I had known I could get the ft40 for only $20 from amazon I would have gotten the ft40. One thing I can say is that the two have the same type of chest strap and it is very comfortable to wear.

    Great news! I was a little concerned about having to wear a chest strap!

    You get used to the chest strap very quickly. I wear it every time I work out and feel that's very accurate. You will love it!
