I am thinking of ordering one tonight and i am rather large and need to make sure the chest strap fits before i order via ebay. Can anyone tell me what these women's watch models come with and the chest strap size? Also is the battery user changeable on this model or do i have to send it in? Is it a overall good HRM? I want it to tell me my heart rate, and calories burned which is the MOST important for me and it is a must that it does this or i won't get it.

Thanks!

    When I was trying to find out if my HRM was right for me, I just went on Amazon.com and looked at user reviews. I have the FT7, so I can't answer questions about the FT4, but likely the user reviews on there will answer any questions you have.

    I have the FT7 and love love love it. The FT4 comes with the chest strap and comes with user replaceable. The chest strap is pretty big too, mine is up to 50 in. and I can't find the FT4 size but i am gonna guess they are the same as they both are Polar.

    i have the ft4. they do all come with the standard m-xxl strap. you get the watch, the transmitter and the strap. and a crappy little "manual" that only tells you how to put in initial settings. if you want the full manual, you have to get it from their website. fyi... there is no difference between the mens and womens except color. it still asks you for your sex. i bought the mens cuz the womens is a kinda ugly pink shade.

    the strap closes just like a bathing suit strap. you should be able to rig something in there to make it work for you!

    I hear ya girl. It is spandex like material, so it does stretch. If you could deal with it being a bit tight until it fits better. I personally put mine on super tight because I feel like it slips when I workout, so I wear mine pretty tight. Have you looked into the sports bras that have the transmitters to a HRM?
