    I have wanted to added information the fitbit that has the heart rate monitor info.... but I did NOT want to wear a fitbit bracelet or watch all the time. This is a great way for me to accurately log my calories burned into my fitbit profile! Easy to use, and easy to put on and take of the chest strap. I recommend this BIG TIME!

    Just what I needed!

    I got this at a great price and it was exactly what I was looking for. I wasn't concerned with this device syncing with an app...I just wanted it so I could tell if I was over/under doing things. My fitness/weight loss journey started 7 months ago, and as I progressed from walking to running, I wanted to know when my heart rate wasn't where it needed to be for maximum calorie burn/effectiveness, but I also wanted to tell when I was over doing it. Starting to jog, and being overweight, I assumed that naturally I would be hot, super sweaty and out of breath, but I didn't realize until I got this that when I ran my heart rate was WAY over the target area and stayed at the "maximum" for my age/height/weight. No wonder I always thought I was about to die. ;) The band is comfortable enough, I haven't had any problems with it. The watch itself is fine. Easy to read and use. No complaints. Knowing when to speed up, and when to slow down...my workouts have changed, and the way I feel afterwards, since this purchase and I couldn't be more pleased. Would definitely recommend.

    Great Information for those looking to lose weight

    I purchased this watch for my wife. I have recently begun a program to lose weight and have been successful so far(lost about 18 lbs in a month through diet and exercise.) Because of this, my wife was wanting to lose weight and believed in my program, so I needed to get her something that would motivate her (without me having to yell at her to talk down.) Thus came this watch, it is neat because it has a target zone that if you maintain, you are burning off strictly fat. It measures her heartrate and even better, the machines at our gym sync with them so she can look at the watch or the machine to read the accurate HR. At first, my wife did not like the strap she had to wear but now after using it for a month, she doesn't even feel it and will not go to the gym without this watch. She has lost 9 lbs and is loving the gym, even by herself!! This watch was worth every PENNY!

    I bought this fitness watch a little over a month ago and it has worked wonders. I had another fitness watch but it did not do justice my old one kept giving me false calories burned while this kept up with my heart rate and i didnt have to push anything to give me a reading. it is very easy to use, I use it when I do "bootcamp" training with camp gladiator.

    I bought this to keep track of my heart rate, and it works great. Made me a lot more aware of how hard I was working, and how much harder I needed to work. Great tool for heart rate and to keep track of calories burned.

    I bought this watch under the recommendation of a friend. I couldn't be more pleased. I wear it while I workout or while hiking. Not only does it serve as a watch, it calculates my heart rate and counts my calories burned. I would recommend this to anyone who it dedicated to fitness!

    Simple to use and very accurate. It's nice to be able to see the calories burned in real time and the heart rate monitor is much more accurate than anything on the market that utilizes a wrist monitor.

    I think this is a great device for ppl trying to lose weight and do a lot of cardio. It tracks your heart rate and calories burned. Doesn't work to well for strength training. It's pretty comfortable. I don't really notice it when I'm working out.

    Great fitness watch if you are worried about heart rate, duration of workout and calories burned. Although, it does not count steps and you have to wear the heart rate monitor while working out.

    Good Motivational Tool

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I always wondered how many calories I actually burned while working out. Its easy when you're just doing cardio on a machine at the gym because it tells you; but I'd always guesstimate how many I burned lifting weights, or when I ran outside. That was my main reason why I wanted to buy a heart rate monitor. After doing some reasearch between the FT4 and FT7; I decided to go with the FT4. The main differences between the two are the training files the watch holds..99 for the FT7 vs 10 for the FT4. You can also plug the FT7 to your PC and use Polars online tracking system program; which you cannot do with the FT4. I wanted something basic, not too involved and it was on sale ($30 less) at the time. I workout 3-4 days a week so ten training files was enough for me and I knew I wouldnt take the time to use the online program. This is a great watch, it motivated me to work out harder to reach a certain calorie number or try to beat a number I previously reached. It also makes you work out smarter by keeping you in your fat burning zone...the watch beeps when you're outside the desired range. The best thing is I don't have to guess how many calories I burned doing my workouts when I'm not on a cardio machine

    This watch is a must-have for someone trying to lose weight and accurately track calories burned during a workout. I have to say, I was skeptical at first...but this watch has been the greatest motivator and fitness tool I could ever ask for. It takes a few minutes to set up, but once its set and ready, its easy as pie to use. I just started working out, and I can easily wear it during spin class, walks with friends, or even pilates. The chest strap/heart monitor is adjustable to most sizes and easily activates with water.

    One of the best HRM on the market

    I love my new Polar FT4 HRM. It's easy to use and very reliable and accurate. The only downside I see to it is there's no way to transfer the data from each workout to the website....it has to all be manually entered which is tedious. If you're not concerned with tracking your workouts then there's no downside to this HRM.

    Bought it to safely keep track of heart rate during exercise routine. It also show burned calories. Easy set up just asks: age, height and age and determines your heart rate zone.

    I wanted to monitory exactly how many calories when I went to the gym. I had a friend that lost over 100 ponds that told me about this and I bought it and it's helped me so much. It's a band that goes under your breast to monitor your heart rate and you turn the watch on and get to loosing weight! One thing I also love is that you customize it to your height weight and age not like the machines at the gym that "tell you how many calories you lost within 30 minutes on the tresmile" I 100 percent recommend!
