    Under. You wouldn't get an accurate reading if it was worn over.

    Under. That's where the user manual for the Polar FT7 says to place it. I'm not sure it could get an accurate reading in any other location.

    Thank you everybody. I thought maybe I was doing it wrong, as I've always worn it under. It does seem that some people wear it above. You know, whatever works for people. I too think it would be more uncomfortable above.

    The directions on mine say something about the sternum.
    I did notice that when I put it on upside down once, the count seemed really low.
