so I'm gonna buy a heart rate monitor tomorrow. From when I've read the polar ft4 looks pretty good. Anyone got one or recommend anything different? Don't have that much money but I want a good one for money.

    I am new here and was intrigued by people talking about them so much! so i did some research and decided since its my first HRM id get the basic and go from there. There's a chance I might not even like it and there for that would be a lot of money wasted. Mines coming in today I ordered the FT4

    I have the Polar FT4. Does all I need in a HRM monitor. I key in my vitals: SEx, Age, weight and at the end it gives my calories burned, Max HR, Ave. HR and length of workout. It also tells you how many minutes your heart rate wasinthe "zone" . The zone can be the one that is automatically set up for you or you can adjust the high and low end. I don't really care about that info so it's kind of useless to me.

    OTher more expensive models do more but this does all I need.


    There was a post a few days ago about where best to buy the ft4. I'd search for it as there were some people that got it for a really good price, below $75.

    I have the Polar FT7 and after using it and comparing it, I wish I got the FT4. They are basically the same, but the FT4 is cheaper. I do love having it as I can accurately track my calories. I got mine from Sport Authority and they seemed to be the cheapest, but I know Amazon may have some for pretty cheap.
