I have been cycling to work everyday using an app on my Iphone called Strava.
I have been using the calories calculated on this. And I knew it would never be 100% accurate, but close.
Anyway, I now have a Polar FT7 HRM and its reading my calories burned as sometimes double compared to the app. The HRM uses my age sex weight etc. So do I go with whats onhe HRM?

today is the first time I have used a hrm...I just got the polar ft7..so same one as you. the reason I got one is that I was convinced the machines in the gym were giving me inaccurate count..I.e. too high. I created a forum and lots of people advised that hrm was the way forward and more accurate...after my session in the gym today I am inclined to agree....it seemed a much truer reflection of what I would have expected to burn...0

I have the same one and before I purchased it I heard nothing but great reviews so I'd go with the HRM reading...0

I go by what my hrm says. I figure nothing is 100% accurate but I have been using my monitor for about a month and have lost approx 10 pounds so that works for me. I eat back exercise calories!0

This is def a good thing
Ive been logging my daily excercise at around 300 cals and it shoud have been around 800.
Is it any wonder I have been getting hungry at night?0
