Okay, so I'm looking at various HRM's, and will prolly replace my Sportline with a Polar (F6, F7, or F11... still making up my mind). But my question here is, can anyone reccommend a good place to buy a unit from? So far, pricing online and at best Buy is the same, as is warranty, etc. So any comments are welcome, thanx! :glasses:

Oh and it's just not fair! You wimmens get all the fun colors, us guys get stuck with boring grey, or dead blue. Hrmpfh. :grumble:

    Yeah, most places are offering free overnight, or 2 day shipping I've noticed. And phooey on not being able to get it in Sparkle kilt Green! :laugh: :drinker:

    I bought mine from the polar website and got free 2nd day shipping. I think it's polar.com and you can compare all of their models there also.:smile:

    I guess I am a great big nut but I have no idea what a HRM is? Can you tell me, who knows I might want one.

    It's a heart rate monitor and it tells you how many calories you burn doing exercises by measuring your heart rate as you exercise.

    Thanx all for the advice and luv! :flowerforyou: Kinda strange that today , all of a sudden, we have these HRM threads, like sumpn is in the air? Anyways, I'll keep looking, I saw on amazon I could get a F11 for $149, everywhere else is $159. So we'll see. Does anyone know if Polar actually does ever put them on sale? It seem EVERYWHERE I looked had a "sale" price of $159. KInda like gas, when ever I need to fill up, the price goes up! :wink:

    You're so funny--I don't even look at gas prices anymore--I figure I'm going to need it no matter what. I started looking at HRM's my cash flow doesn't allow a fancy one like you (I could bedazzle you a SKG one jamerz--I've got mad craft skills) I was wondering if the cheaper models work okay (like the $30 range) Any words of wisdom anyone?

    I saw the F6 on sale at Sports Authority for $110, I think.

    I was wondering though...I also saw the F4 @ $89. Will the F4 be okay? I mean twenty bucks is twenty bucks, ya know? Anyone have any reviews on the F4?

    BTW, they weren't sold at the counter. They were sold along one of the isles. I found the same to be true at Academy Sports. Haven't checked out any other sports stores around here.
