so i bought a polar ft4(with chest strap) today and tried it out for the first time and would have to say i really enjoyed it! I was skeptical about spending $100 on a HRM but i figured for my health it was worth it to spend on the higher end(and i believe it was!) my treadmill and elliptical were actually about 15-20 calories lower than what my HRM said and it takes in more info than they do so i figured (by that and research) i should trust it more than my treadmill. now gain i have only used it once and it worked great on running but i also wanted one to calculate calories while I swim so we will be checking that out next week sometime (due to i am going out of town this weekend) Hopefully this helps anyone wanting to get a HRM! FOR YOUR HEALTH SPEND A LITTLE MORE MONEY! YOU CAN ALWAYS RETURN IT IF YOU DONT LIKE IT!

I love my FT7. I want to upgrade to a model with a fitness test though. So, I would recommend this one to people:

I love my polar FT4! Totally worth the investment and keeps me motivated.0

I love mine, too! I find that MFP overestimates calorie burns for me. The biggest discrepancies have been with swimming & biking.0

I have an FT7 and love it. It is a nice motivator in my opinion.0
