Polar FT4F Super awesome HRM! Love it! Totally recommend!.
I searched high and low for a good/affordable heart rate monitor. Read tons of good reviews on this one and decided to go for it. I love it! It works so well!
Polar FT4F Just what I was looking for.
I am very happy with my Polar FT4 HRM. I wanted something to make myself push harder and know when I need to step things up. I mainly wanted to get an idea of my calorie burn from the different workouts that I do. This does just that and it's so simple to setup. The chest strap is very comfortable and I usually forget it's there. I had purchased the bodybugg twice before because I was looking for something to tell me about my calorie burn, but I ultimately returned it each time. The computer program is not user friendly & it just became more of an expensive hassle than anything, especially considering the bodybugg is only functional as long as you're a paid subscriber to the program. (You need to connect to the program to update your settings to the bodybugg, such as weight, that way it is accuarate.) With the Polar FT4, you just change your settings right on your watch and you're all set. I definitely recommend this purchase, not to mention it's a great price on Amazon.
Polar FT4F Great product; love it!
I love my Polar FT4. It is lightweight and SOOOO easy to use. The chest strap is very easy to adjust and put on. There isn't a lot of confusing screens to go through to use the watch part of it. When you first turn it on, it walks you through set up. It is easy to see your heart rate and calorie burn while wearing it. And it saves your data so you can go back through it later (plus you can manually input your data onto the website and review it whenever you want). Also, very easy to find the screen when you need to go back and update your weight info. I definitely recommend this item!!
Polar FT4F Best Price, Awesome tool to help you track your workouts.
This product is super easy to use and I am not the most technical person in the world. This watch and heart monitor were recommended to me by my trainer and I have been nothing but happy with it. It is helpful as a training tool and incredibly gratifying when one is working hard to get fit. Well worth the price.
Polar FT4F Best Price, Like the Bronze HRM
I bought this monitor because I was taking a certification class and a heart rate monitor was one of the items suggested on the bring to class list. I am not big in heart rate training but I have an extremely difficult time taking my pulse to get a near accurate number. I like this monitor because I do not have to do any conversions to receive the reading. As the wear, you have the option of pausing then continuing a workout. The wear can choose to have alerts signal then when they are on and off target. Transmitor belt is not the standard hard plastic which makse it feel better and more comfortable than the rubber. The actual watch is a nice bronze color which is good for me because there are times when black is not the least bit exciting. I have not used the monitor in water as I am not big on water sports. I use the monitor while riding my bike and it is interesting to see the various reading. At this stage in my life, I have no need for my monitor to be posted online, although that option is available. I also do not need a GPS or the many other options being offwred with some of the more pricey heart rate monitors but I do not consider myself an elite athlete. I am simply a female doing a little physical activity to feel good. I like this heart rate monitor. It does its job and it is pretty.
Polar FT4F Heart Rate Monitor Works just as advertised.
This is my very first heart rate monitor and I've been using it daily for about a month now with my P90X workouts. I read the on-line user's manual (very short) while it was being shipped and once it arrived I found it very easy to operate (I was concerned because some of the reviews I read said that it was difficult to operate--I did not have that experience at all). I like the calorie counter feature, but I have no way to calibrate it to know how accurate it is. The one feature I wish it had is a simple stopwatch with laps that can be operated without wearing the transmitter. Overall, very pleased.
Polar FT4F Heart Rate Monitor Love it.
This product was so easy to use and works great every time! My friend got me hooked on it and now i can't even work out without it! It is so accurate and reliable! Best product, can't beat the price! I recommend this for anyone who is serious about weight loss.

Polar FT4 Best Price
Polar FT4 Love this!
This watch really keeps me motivated to work my hardest in the gym. It is pretty simple to use.
Polar FT4 AWESOME!
Great heart rate monitor watch. I'm a huge polar fan and this model does it all and it is easy to operate. Makes my workouts very effective and I can measure just how much ; ) its a must have.
Polar FT4 Simple and Perfect!
This Heart Rate Monitor is just a basic one. It does what it says and tracks your heart rate. You do need to push a button to scroll through 4 different screens (Heart rate, Calorie burn, heart rate range, and time of day and amount of time worked out so far). I have a Garmin that has all the bells and whistles but I really just needed one that would track my Heart Rate and give me an accurate calorie burn. If that is what you are looking for then this is for you!! The instructions are a little lacking, but it really isn't that hard to figure out. There are really only three things you can do (view past work outs, start a new work out, or change your user information).
I also use this EVERY DAY!! I don't go a single day with out using. The only complaint if you can call it that is the metal part of the strap 'sometimes' digs into my side after my work out and when I am sitting down. But I think that is more the placement of the strap than anything.
Polar FT4 straight to the point!!!!! SIMPLE!!!
For the beginner all the way to the serious runner this is a great add-on to your daily routine, the bpm it's ECG quality very accurate and easy to read, the watch its almost weightless and the strap very comfortable, but the best part is the price!!!!
Polar FT4 Best Price, Great Product, Great Price
I upgraded to this from a basic Sportline touch-the-metal watch monitor after I switched to running from walking. I have heart disease, so I try to keep my heart rate in a very specific range, and sweating and humidity would render my Sportline watch useless. This Polar FT4 has never failed to give a reading after a month of use in sweltering conditions. What is even better is that I only paid about half of what I expected to pay for a monitor with a chest strap. I appears to me that the price difference may be due to the fact that this monitor does not allow you to automatically transmit workout data to the web, but this is not important to me.
Polar FT4 Best Price, I love it.
El reloj me encanta, es muy básico y fácil d usar justo lo q yo necesitaba ya q me indica la información. Q necesito saber aparte q es muy bello
Polar FT4 Best Buy
I've had it for about a week now, and it's really great to be able to track my progress: calories burned, time, heart rate, etc. I'd recommend this as a starter for anyone who's looking to start working our more regularly, and wants a bit more motivation/encouragement.
This isn't as fancy as others that can automatically log your progress on your polar profile online, but if you don't mind taking the time to enter it manually, this is a great starter!!! I'd recommend it!
Polar FT4 Best Buy, Excellent and Simple
As a beginner, I couldn't be more satisfied with the FT4. It's simple to use and also looks pretty with any wear! My only suggestion would be to have the distance monitor.
Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor Good Basic.
This is a good basic HRM. It tells you calories burned (which I wanted) and it helps you exercise in your target zone. I do have to say that once I started using this and putting my data in on the Polar Personal trainer web site, I realized I wanted a HRM that does much more. So about a month later I purchased the FT60. So my recommendation is if you are looking for a basic HRM for calories burned, this is the model for you. If you exercise regularly and is serious about it or about maximizing your exercise look at an upgrade model.
Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor AWESOME!
I love this! After doing a ton of research I finally decided to go with this one and I'm so glad I did. It's easy to use and seems very accurate, I use if everyday when I exercise =] It's not too bulky and I like the color. It is water resistant however DON'T press any buttons while in the water. It's a lot cheaper here, I went to a store to look and it was nearly $100.
Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor Watch Great Price!!!!!
This monitor is not only stylish, but also effective at targeting a zone to maximize workouts! I enjoy having all my data from my workout at such easy access and the fact that they are stored on the watch till you get ready to delete them allows me to look back and see which workouts were most effective. Amazing product and great price!!!

Polar FT4F Heart Rate Monitor Watch REVIEWS
Polar FT4F Great Value
I had an older Polar heart rate monitor watch and the battery imbedded in the transmitter died. Instead of spending so much to replace the transmitter I decided to buy a new watch instead. I love it. It was very easy to set up and this new one has a replaceable battery. The price was great and I am a very happy customer. I have recommended this to several people.
Polar FT4F Helpful
This is the first time I have used a heart rate monitor while working out. I liked that it provided more than just the heart rate and I felt that it was accurate. I was even able to swim with it on and keep track of my entire work out.
Polar FT4F just what I was looking for... GREAT FOR CALORIE COUNTING
I am beyond thrilled with this heart rate monitor and its accuracy, especially the calorie counting.
I had initially purchased the Timex T5G971 Unisex Sports Personal Heart Rate Monitor Watch that came HIGHLY recommended by so many. Even a random customer had recommended it when I went to best buy to buy it. I was so excited to use it but then realized that it was beyond inaccurate... it was giving me a high heart rate and telling me I was burning 1000 calories from a 30 min. bike ride... and my favorite that I burned 130 calories from sitting for 30 min. I am not fitness expert, but this was an obvious and HUGE inaccuracy... and this is a big problem, especially if one is calorie counting. So, this watch had to go. I decided to give this a try after researching some more about heart rate monitors and how calorie counting works. What the timex watch was missing was the crucial values for calorie counting of age, sex, weight, and if I remember correctly, height that this watch has. This watch automatically determined my heart rate zones, and I didnt have to mess around with anything. I was able to program this watch straight out of the box, versus the timex, where the user interface was so damn complicated, I had to get my computer programming husband to figure out how to program the watch!
I have been using this watch for about 3 weeks now and it has been giving me very accurate heart rate readings and calorie counting (200 calories for a 20-30 min bike ride to work is just about right! not 1000!) Furthermore, the band is not-uncomfortable, and is rather seamless. And this watch does a great job keeping out with m fluctuating heart rate as I bike ride to work, whereas the timex did not. I bike down busy NYC streets and I am stopping and going, slowing down and going fast and this watch keeps up! I have alot of trust and confidence for the readings this watch gives me!
Polar FT4F Heart Rate Monitor Watch Great Price
You can't beat the price for this monitor, which offers a number of great features at a reasonable price. Pros include:
* user replaceable batteries in the watch and the monitor. This is a huge plus when you consider how much it costs to get the batteries replaced by sending them away.
* nice visual indicator of target zones.
* system allows you to choose between displaying as a percentage of your of your max heart rate, or as beats per minute.
* shows your average heart rate and max heart rate after your workout.
* Saves your last 10 workout histories, to show you time in your target zone.
* nice fabric chest strap.
I don't use the calorie counter or use it underwater, so I can't comment on these.
All in all, you get a lot of features and a replaceable battery for a great price.
Polar FT4F Heart Rate Monitor Watch Great Product, Easy to operate
I just started working out at a gym. I enjoyed doing the cardio fitness classes like Zumba and Kickboxing. Having a HRM helps me evaluate how effective my workouts are. I've been researching for about a month or so. I wanted to find a product that works effectively, but didn't necessarily want to buy a very expensive HRM as I'm "new" to working out/training. I saw this watch that had great ratings and was on sale, so I bought it. I use it with the electrode gel. It works very well. I have no complaints so far.
Polar FT4F Heart Rate Monitor Watch Worth every penny!
This is my first HRM I've ever bought but I'm convinced that Polar made this thing really well. It does everything I need it to which is simply to show me where my HR is and to know if I'm in a safe zone. I love that you can customized your target zone so that you are working optimally. My goal is to have a bigger and stronger heart instead of burning fat so this HRM really lets me work not too hard and obviously not too easy. Another thing is that I am more pushed to keep working hard if I'm working out by myself. The beeps tell me if I need to keep going. However, the beeps that say I'm out the zone is more quiet than I expected, so if you like working out with headphones, be sure to regularly check if you're still in the zone. Another problem I had was the chest strap. I sweat a lot which sometimes causes the strap to slowly slip and I would have to constantly have to adjust it. It can get annoying but I find that the good definitely outweighs the bad. The back lighting button to check it when it's dark is a bit faint as well but hopefully no one is actually working out in the dark! I often still wear it as one of my watches with casual clothes. Also, I'm trying not to lose weight because I'm quite slim so I pay close attention to my calories burned during cardio workouts to know how much more I should eat. So really, this thing has helped me stay motivated and on top of my routine. I have not had it long enough to know how long the battery and device life lasts (it's been about 2 months) but overall I've been very happy with it. Again, this is my first HRM and all I needed was something simple and very usable and this is it!
