Hi all:

I have been a user for over a year. Does anyone have any information about the reliability of the polar heart rate monitors with respect to the number of calories burned. I have made all the settings for height, weight, age etc. Any thoughts would be appreciated

thanks - David

    There are a few websites that claim Polar is among the most reliable and accurate. Off the top of my head I can't remember them though. Accuracy is somewhat based on the model though. The ones that factor VO2max are more accurate than those that do not.

    Hi David,

    I have been a user of the Polar HRM for a while & I can't fault them at all.
    I have just upgraded mine to a FT40 & love it..

    I think they are great tool for your training..
