I love my Polar FT4. So easy to use, which is good for me because I'm technologically challenged. ;-)0

I wanted the FT7 but hated the colours, so I got an FT4. I love it!!!!! (once I figured out how to lock the buttons during a workout).
Make sure you check for what you need - not all have interval/lap timing, which some people want.0 -
FT4 or FT7.0

I love my FT7. Best HRM I've owned, my only want from it is a stopwatch or lap timer, other than that... perfect.0

LOVE my FT7 very easy setup and the chest strap is comfortable0

I have the Polar FT7...great thing except...I`ve only had it 4 weeks and the chest trans battery has died...And can i get the battery out? Nope...Have to take it into a shop.
My old one was a doddle to change.0 -
Check out Polar's website. It will tell you what each type offers and you can pick the one that best suits you. I got the FT40.0

I got the FT40 too. I really like it! You can compare on the Polar website.0

Love my FT4. It works really well, and I love the chest strap.
It's also pink, which makes it the best choice0 -
I just got the FT4. I am in love! I got it off amazon for about $70. Totally worth it!0

Funny, I just saw this post as I am setting up my newly purchased FT4. Just received it in the mail - I'm going to use it for spinning this afternoon - will let you know how it goes!!0

FT70

I love my FT4!! I think it is one of the only ones that you can change the batteries in yourself.0

Hmm, I have the FT7 and I just changed the battery on the wrist unit as well as the chest strap myself (above poster mentioned you have to take it to a shop to change the battery). Maybe I wasn't 'supposed' to but it had 'open and shut' directions on the battery lids so I went ahead and changed those myself.
The FT7 is wonderful! I use it for Kickboxing, HIIT's and similar workouts, couldn't have asked for better in that price range. Very accurate and very comfortable. I would highly recommend the FT7!0 -
I've wondered whether to get one of these too but most of my workouts tend to be aqua ones because they a low impact and good fun. Is there one that I could use for swimming or aqua aerobics? And what stops the chest band slipping when you are jumping about? Are they a problem to wear for the bustier woman?0

FT40.
i find it very user friendly. i paid $108 for it on amazon.
It includes a fitness test which you can take while laying down... just another way to determine your level of fitness!0 -
Have a gorgeous RED FT7, and I love love love it!0
