I didn't get the HRM I wanted for Christmas. I will have to buy it myself. I was thinking of a Polar ft60 but that has some personal training software or something built in and I'm not sure how it works. Does anyone have that one? can recommend something else? I can't do anything with a monthly fee associated with it right now, like BodyFit.

    The FT60 has a number of features including the Polar Star personalized training program. The program is based on your workout habits and provides training targets and feedback.

    It doesn't require any software, PC connection or anything like that (you can purchase an accessory that allows you to upload data from the watch to a computer program, but that is optional). You do not need to activate the program to use the watch to monitor heart rate. There is NO monthly fee involved.

    I have an FT60, but I have never bothered to use any of the programs. For some reason, I always like to buy more technology than I need.

    I like the FT60 (except some of the display items --like workout time--are difficult for my aged eyes to read). I'm sure if I bothered to learn about the programs, I would like them too. Personally I think the FT40 or FT60 are better choices for Polar HRMs.

    Thanks for your opinion. I was looking at both of those.

    I just got an FT60, and it's really nice! I got te pink one (it's labeled as being purple, but it's more pink, imho). Did you end up getting one yet?
