    I have it & love t!! Fairly basic but does what I need which is heart rate & cals burnt!!! My husband has a better model which can upload to his computer & graph workouts etc so depends on what you need!!!

    I have the FT4 and I love it! I basically just wanted to track calories burned and it's great for that. It automatically talks to the heart rate monitor on the treadmill at the gym, so I can see my heart rate without looking at the watch. I have the silver one, but they have a pink one out now which looks cool.

    does it save your avg heart rate as i have a cheap one from lloyds pharmecy and it keeps changing....

    will only be using it when on wii doing zumba, just dance 3 and maybe i'll start running......

    It's great. I have one and I love it. You get an exercise calorie count specific to you, and you don't have to hold onto the handles at the gym to get a heart rate.

    Yes it stores the data from each training session and can tell you duration, calories, average HR, maximum HR and how long you were in the zone for.

    It gives you maximum, minimum, and average heart rates for each exercise session.

    I dont know what model I have (think it might be FT3?) but I got a Polar watch and heart rate monitor belt, I love it and cant do without it,

    It sets your ultimate zones and warns you when your HR is too high, gives a really good estimate of calories burnt better than any I get from the machines at the gym,

    I love it, easy to use, comfortable to wear
