Heart Rate Monitor

I LOVE my Polar Ft4

read all about it!

I have a sportline. Ran $120 at Dic-'s. http://www.sportline.com/products/heart-rate-monitors/duo-1060-heartrate-mens.html

I started out with the women's but it didn't function well, so I returned it and decided to go with a men's instead. The watch is bigger and I can read it much better. Oh, they offered a warranty on the women's but not the men's. Odd, right?

Anyway, I love it. I set my stride using a set distance---1 mile. Since I know when I hit that, I could adjust to get the right readouts.




note: the site changes the name of the store since it is short of Richard, and can be considered inappropriate. Go figure.

Polar FT4 or FT7 hands down! They are most recommend on this site, and both are great HRM's.

I'd stay away from Timex and Sportline.. both have been known to break easily, not give accurate calories burned, and be hard to set up.
