    This is my first chest strap heart monitor and I absolutely love it. I've tried watches in the past and they weren't really that accurate for calorie burn. This product is easy to setup and easy to use for all types of activities.

    Purchased this for my husband as a Xmas gift

    The heart rate watch contained a strap that went around your chest. He did not realize this until he opened the package. My 90 yr old father suffered his first stroke on that date. He lived in Baltimore; We opened our gifts and then headed to Baltimore for Xmas. He suffered a second stroke and a heart attack; in hospice in a coma til he passed on 1/13/15. Tried to return the watch either on 1/19 or 1/20, this at store #587, told that we could not return the watch because the box was opened and we were beyond date listed. I tried to explain about my dad's death, but the store manager said why didn't we return it in the state in which my dad lived. I did not appreciate the way it was handled, plus the watch was at home and not with us in Maryland. We were told we were out the $62.53 pd for the watch. My husband has purchased numerous items from this Best Buy store in opened boxes. Wondering why such a small item in a open box could not be returned. This circumstance has both of us telling our friends maybe they should consider other stores. What happened to taking care of your customers; plus how $62.53 will stop both of us from purchasing anything from your store.

    It is perfect for me, it makes my workouts so much better now that I can see and track my heart rate, I'll throw in extra exersises if my heart rate isn't in zone. Really kicks them up a notch!

    I am in love with this watch. It does everything I want it to do. Tracks my heart rate, tracks calories burned and keeps up with the activity minutes per exercise. It also keeps up with your records from each workout. Very nice!

    I wanted a basic monitor that tracked heart rate. This one does that and more, but I don't use other features. And, for some reason, it was a good bit cheaper than the "male" version of the same monitor, so, if you are looking for a basic monitor and don't mind a pink one, this is for you!

    Bought this to better track my calories while working out and it works like a charm! The band that goes around your chest doesn't move while working out, stays secure which is also great! Definitely something I recommend for those who want to track their calories burned and pulse rate!

    I have a few fitness trackers and my Polar FT4 is still the best that I own. My bestfriend recently began competing in fitness competitions, and I got this for her as a birthday gift. It will help her stay in her target zone so she's not over-working herself to reach fitness goals.

    I didn't want to spend a ton of money on those fancy heart rate monitors. This was a great first one. All the info is stored on the watch and the strap is comfortable. Once I start working out, I barely even feel it.

    I love this pulse monitor! The chest band is comfortable to wear. I don't even notice that I have it on while working out! It is accurate and easy to set up. The constant pulse monitor is so much better than my last one that required me to push two buttons simultaneously. No more buttons to push while you are running. Just put the chest band on, press start and go! It is that simple. When you are done with your workout, you press stop and get a reading on how many calories you burned and the length of your workout.

    I really love this heart rate monitor! It's easy to use and is able to sync my heart rate on the display of many of the cardio machines at my gym. It's great if you want to know the basics and how hard you are really working your body. I haven't used the calorie counter on it because I have a Body Media band that takes care of that for me. But I am interested in comparing the two just to see how accurate the heart rate monitor is.

    I love the accuracy of this product. Also I am on the heavy set side and it fits great. So if you have big boobs or weigh over 200 lbs get this it works great! It's also easy to understand.

    Love my Polar. Easy to setup. Band is a little hard to unsnap. Keeps me in my target zone. Lost 22 pounds using my polar. Polar is not as expensive as all those other gadets, and makes your workouts count.

    Prior to purchasing my Polar FT4 I would workout regularly and relied on the machines to tell me my calories burned. Now I can keep track of my heart rate, calories burned and time in zone right at my fingertips. If I'm running around the block or doing a marathon I can know how many calories I'm burning. The device is very comfortable to wear, easy to use and very accurate. I don't leave to workout without it. I loved the product so much I recently purchased another for a friend.

    This is a good heart rate monitor for the price. I have been using for about a month and can easily check my heart rate during cardio exercises to be sure I am hitting my target rate, but not exceeding it. If you order one, you might want to get extra straps.

    This is a great heart rate monitor, especially for someone new to exercise or looking to enhance their exercise and track heart rate, calories, and fitness zone. The chest strap is perfectly comfortable and adjustable, i hardly notice it's there. This particular one doesn't track distance, but it does track calories burned based on your heart rate, shows you your zone so that you can accurately adjust your workout. It also seems to sync automatically with polar enabled fitness equipment (treadmills, maybe more?) Overall a great deal and a great first heart rate monitor!

    I wanted a heart rate monitor without all the extras that come with most straps. This is a simple, easy to use strap and watch. You wont need the watch at the gym as the strap syncs to most equipment. It's affordable and comfortable.
