Ughhhhhh.....I'm so torn. I had the Polar f6 for several years and loved it. Used it almost daily. It just kicked off. I'm looking for a new HRM and can't decide. If you have one can you share which? Along with your likes and dislikes?

Edit....wrong forum sorry :/

    I have the Polar Heart Rate Monitor FT4 and I love it, never had a problem with anything. When I was figuring out which one I wanted, I did a google search for "Polar HRM compare" or something like that and was able to compare them all

    totally depends on what you want out of your HRM. If you just want heart rate and calories burned, go with the cheaper option.

    Pretty much everything the ft40 can. I just can't decide. Want to know others experience with them.

    You can compare them :). I hate that I can't decide. Hoping others can share their personal likes/dislikes

    It's been a while since I compared them, but I have the Polar ft 60 and I love it!

    Neither... A Garmin FR70... After years of crap with polar I finally saw the light and bought a Garmin. No more crazy readings and it drove me nutty not syncing with the strap. Thank goodness for no more of that! Lol. Everyone I know with. Polar (10+) has had the same issues! Go Garmin! X

    I just got the Polar FT4 about a month ago and it is my 1st HRM. I am very happy with it. It is accurate and easy to use.

    I just ordered the FT7 over the FT40 because the battery is easily replaceable. I also spent a lot of time researching this choice

    Looks like more people go with the FT7.
    Not a bad price either.
