I'm in the market for a new HRM. I was going to by the Polar FT4 but my husband suggested the Gear Fit. I would like something to show me my calories burned during a workout, not just walking. Will the Gear Fit do that? Thanks in advance!

    I think the Fitbit Charge HR may be a better fit. It tells you calories burned throughout the day or throughout a workout. Do you own a Samsung phone? If not then I would say definitely do not go with the Gear Fit.

    The issue with wrist monitors like the gear and microsoft band is the acuracy. Also you usually cant check your heart rate while active. You need to stand still. I gave up on those kind along time ago. I want to be able to check my HR while I am running or lifting or crossfitting. I love my Polar H7 strap with my Polar m400. It does daily steps tracking sleep tracking GPS for runs and HRM for workouts. And syncs to my phone via smart bluetooth.
    401.
