To late if it isn't, I already ordered it online. Anyboby used one? Got any comments on it? It will be my first HRM and the main purpose for me is to help track my calorie burn more accurately while I'm out on the kayak. (It can be hard work but it doesn't really get the heart pounding (except when you see a shark)).

    I just got one for Christmas! Most of the people in my group either has the 4 or 7 and they love them. Can't really say I heard anything bad. I will be using mine tonight for the first time :)

    I love mine. I've read that some people take off 17% for accuracy, but I can't remember where I read it. I usually take some off, just to be sure.

    I've had my FT7 for three years and absolutely love it. I've used it in the water without a problem. I bought two extra straps just to be able to rotate them after rinsing or washing them.

    Sounds like I won't regret my purchase. Now just the waiting for it to arrive.

    I bought mine 2 years ago. It's a pretty good investment.
