Polar HRM

I am about to order one. I like the colors of the men's HRM's better than the women's. If I order a mens HRM is it going to look like I'm wearing a clock on my wrist? :)

    I have the women's FT60 (black) and my husband has the men's FT40 (also black). They actually look fairly similar. The main differences I've noticed are the design on the face of the watch, and possibly the length (i.e. diameter) of the wrist band as men's wrists tend to be larger and need a longer band.

    In doing research for my husband I did notice the men's FT60 face does appear to be a bit larger, but that's only looking at pictures so I can't really say for sure.

    Which model are you looking at?

    i just bought the RS300x...but i like a big face, more reading room on the screen. But the huge ones do more than i need it to do. The ladies' monitors tend to b super girly with the designs. i say dont focus too much on how it looks, just get one that does the job. :) good luck

    So that one I don't know much about but just from looking at pictures, they look relatively the same. I think it's likely just going to be the length of the band that differs. Theoretically Polar would have some basic dimensions on their website? I wish I could offer more! Good luck :)

    I purchased the Men's FT7 because I'm not fond of pink and that is all the store had in stock for women. Since it was a 30% off sale that day, I really didn't want to wait for more to come in or order off the internet. I'm happy with mine and probably would buy one again. I usually wear glasses to read and being the face is a little bigger, I can see what my readings are while exercising without my glasses. Love, love the Polar HRM. :flowerforyou:

    Got my FT7 on Amazon with chest strap for 70 bucks and it works great. I got the black and red one.
