    I have the FT7, you get a lot more for just a little bit more money. I got mine on sale at heartratemonitorsusa.com or something like that. I have also seen them onsale at Amazon. Well worth it! if you are serius about excersize and losing weight a HRM and a food scale are a must!

    Got the FT4, great HRM! Not too expensive but does a great job! I am sure the FT7 is amazing too but just couldn't justify the extra money. FT4 does exactly what I need it to do and the layout is easy to use and get along with.

    They do an FT4F too for you ladies! :smile:

    I've got a polar HRM for my bike, and it's the best. The person that said the HRM and food scale where necessary was spot on.

    I have a Garmin Forerunner 305 which measures heart rate, pace, distance, etc. I debated a little over the expense but it has been an extremely worthwhile investment on the fitness front!

    I LOVE MINE...however my hubby just got a garmin that has a GPS and tells him how many miles he has ran...now I am jealous (except his was much more expensive)...so I just keep using my FT4 and the iMapMyRun app on my phone and get the exact same info!

    I have the FT7. I was able to get it for a really reasonable price online, around 80$. Totally worth every penny!

    I've got the FT7 - love it! around $100 - $110 new at Best Buy... You could probably get it cheaper if you aren't as impatient as me.

    I have an FT-4, love it. I wasn't anywhere close on calorie estimates using MFP, so it's vital, in my opn.
    And you are correct - it's an investment in you!!

    I have the FT4 and it's a great hrm. Every workout I have done since I purchased it back in April has been monitored using my FT4 and I wouldn't exercise without it now. 5 stars from me.

    I just ordered the polar ft7 today on amazon for $75 (it isn't 75 anymore, so let's keep our fingers crossed that I ordered correctly lol). I have lost 55 lbs without one, but now that my weight loss is slowed, I think I need one. Will let you know if I like it.

    Just checked again, the ft7 is still $77. It's alot of money but I hope it's worth it!

    I wanted a HRM specifically to see how many calories I burned, and I also need the watch portion for timing my C25K intervals. The FT4 has fit this bill perfectly, and I use runtastic on my cell phone (which I have along anyway to play music) to map my distance/pace/speed/altitude, etc.

    I'd say it's 110% worth the investment. My husband and I both have a Polar FT7 and love them! I've also heard great things about the FT4.
