I was thinking about upgrading my Timex Fitness HRM to a Polar Ft40F Women's Heart Rate Monitor. Does anyone have one? How do you like it?
What kind of setting does it use to determine calories burned? I read it has a fitness test... Do you have to input your weight, height, any of that stuff?
Thanks for any and all info!

I have the FT60 and it as that stuff. You put in your height, weight, goals, it gives you a target # of calories to burn and at what rate.
This is the manual for the FT40 that you are thinking about:
