    Polar... FitBit is more of an activity tracker, no?

    What are you comparing, pedometers or HRMs?

    Of those companies, I pick Fitbit because it's the only one I've used.

    It depends what you want it for. As a heart rate monitor I'd go for the polar with a chest strap. If you want to count the calories you burn over a longer period I'd go for the fitbit.

    I am saving for a fitbit charge Hr as I would like to monitor my calorie burn over a 24 hour period as well as during workouts.

    That's what I though. But there is a surge that looks quite good.

    I will say that fitbit's customer service is great. I had a broken charger and they sent me a whole new fb
