    Love my polar ft4! Whatever you get, make sure it has a chest strap.

    I just purchased the polar ft7 and am loving it. I agree with the other poster in saying make sure it has a chest strap. :)

    Polar ft4. Simple and easy to use. Comes with the chest strap. I overpaid for mine.
  • It really depends on your needs and budget. As someone who has been in the industry for some time, I would say Polar is the leading competitor, Garmin products are better for the althletic person who runs races and triathlons, but my new favorite is by far a Digifit component, the only draw back from them is u have to have a iPhone or iPad.....but soon that will change too. Google Digifit and check it out!

    I have a Polar FT60 and absolutely LOVE IT. My best friend owns a Polar FT4 and loves hers just as much as I love mine. They are both great, just depends on what "bells and whistles" you want.

    Good luck!
