    Yes they do. It really depends on your budget. The Polar FT4 is probably all you need. I had the FT7 but didn't use the extra online features (the only difference I could see).

    I have the FT4 also and have been really happy with it! It's simple, comfortable and yes, gives you the calories burned.

    I have the FT4, FT7 and FT60. All are fantastic. There are just little differences. FT4 is really good for basic users, counting calories burned and HR and duration. FT 7 is going to do the same thing with just some minor enhancements and then the Ft 60 is going to have the "most" enhancement to the device. All are waterproof so you can use them while swimming.

    I encourage you to check out www.heartratemontiors.com you can compare and buy there.

    I use a Zephyr HxM that can sync over bluetooth with my phone. I then use Endomondo to track my runs, which can also sync to MFP. The only advantage of the Polar over the Zephyr is it works underwater if you are swimmer. The Zephyr is waterproof, but the manufacturer says it doesn't work underwater. I don't swim, so its not a big deal for me to not work underwater.
