    I have had polar brand for 6 years. My first one lasted 4 years and now this one I have had 2 years. I love wearing it to the gym to help me gauge calories burned and to help mentally push myself. I had one friend at the gym who had a garmin gps watch and that is good for running not any fitness classes. Another friend had a fit bit but was tired of sinking it with the computer to get her calories burned after being at the gym. They both now have a polar. Good luck!

    Thank you everyone for all the help! I have been wanting one for a while and I couldn't pass up the $44.99 deal. I will pick it up tomorrow. Makes me even more excited about going to the gym tomorrow! ;)

    My battery hasn't died yet, but I know a local watch/clock repairman that will change them for $8.00.. That is something you could look into before you buy one.

    I think the FT7 is the next one up from the FT4 but do correct me members if I am wrong

    I would have to agree by the difference in price, but don't want to miss out if there's something much better in the ft7. Thank you so much! :)

    I also just ordered this, $45 for a polar ft4, normally $90

    Primary differences between the FT4 and FT7 are that the FT7 stores more workouts in its memory (99 instead of 10, I believe), and the FT7 can have its data read and uploaded to some website, though that requires an additional hardware component that you have to buy.

    Same transmitter. Same logic inside.

    If you're going to log the data from the device (e.g., in MFP) after each workout, paying extra for the FT7 isn't really necessary.

    I bought the FT7 just in case I wanted to use the data transfer feature in the future, but I don't think I ever will.
