I just received my Polar FT7 heart rate monitor. I was wondering should I use water or an electrode cream/gel for best results on the chest strap.

  I have an FT4, and I always just use water - seems to work absolutely fine. Not sure I could stretch to buying any more extras for it lol

  I just use water on my FT4. No issues so far. And ditto to the sweat comment!
