Polar FT4 Great HRM!

Polar FT4 Great HRM!
Great tool to have if you are in need of keeping track of your heart rate and calories burned. Prior to getting this I'd go off the calories listed on my treadmill which I knew were not accurate. With the Polar FT4, I can now track my progress more efficiently. Great product, I highly recommend!

Polar FT4 Exactly what I needed.
After joining a fitness site - I kept hearing how important it was to keep track of your heart rate. I figured the estimates were good enough. BOY was I wrong!?!

Maybe it's because I am 6'4, but the machines at the gym were way off. I use my HRM all the time now! During my fitness classes, strength training, and on the machines at the gym. Also perfect for runs and walking around outside. At first I was weary of the chest strap, but once you put it on - after a min or two you forget that it's on. I wear a compression shirt when I run - and it's barely noticeable.

I wouldn't say the watch is very fashionable for everyday wear - but for the purpose of keeping up with my heart rate and how many calories I have burned - it's awesome!

I am also now the mascot of the fitness classes. The ladies in there do know that I burn more calories because I am a guy and tall - but they are excited to see how many calories I have burned so they can guesstimate what they burned themselves. Anyone into fitness - in the gym or out - I would suggest this product!

It's only been 3 weeks - but I will never go without! I would definitely purchase another one after the 2 year warranty runs out - or even upgrade to a model that does more. Best 90 bucks I have spent, in terms of fitness/working out!
