    I have a Polar FT4 ladies black. I've worn it 6 or 8 times. I shouldn't have bought it bc I really knew I wouldn't wear it more.

    Do you want it? I'll send it to you. 50% off whatever price you found online. Let me know.

    Thanks but I'm looking for a male one.

    RS300X.

    Because it's not much more than FT7, and I'm betting your main purpose is for getting calorie counts.

    That is about their cheapest model that has the stats that allow decently accurate calorie count.

    The cheaper models are missing that stat and so can be very off.

    I have the FT7 and love it. I haven't had the FT4 so I can't compare. I like it because it is a good enough looking watch to wear as a casual watch. Has all the features I like, save one, a stopwatch/timer.

    There is next to no difference between the men's Polar FT4 and the women's one. If you don't have huge wrists and it isn't a bright pink one then no one but you will know that it's a "women's" one.

    I have the FT4 and it's great for what I need! I'm not sure if they recently remodeled it, but mine does have a stopwatch timer.

    I have the FT7 and really like it. Once you've put in your max heartrate it will tell you at any given time whether you're exercising in fat burn or fitness mode, which is really useful. Plus calorie count, workout timer, time, date, and it saves your training files.

    You can get them on Amazon for about £60-ish.

    I have the FT7. It's practically the same as the FT4, but the FT7 has data transfer capabilities and gives you access to polar personal training (I've never used either, so I can't speak to them, but the options are nice). The FT7 also stores 99 training files, while the FT4 only stores your last 10.
