Review: I wasn't sure at first but this has helped me so much! - I wasn't sure about this, because I've never used a "heart rate monitor" before and I pictured something they'd hook you up to in a hospital. However, the good reviews here on desertcart sold me, and it wasn't that expensive. Well, I couldn't be happier. The strap isn't bulky at ALL--I really do forget it's there! I thought it was weird that you have to wet the "electrodes" before use, but I just literally rinse them for a second and then put it on. When I'm done working out, I immediately take the strap off, rinse it off thoroughly, and hang it to dry (after taking off the little monitor thing, of course). I've washed it a few times with gentle soap, as per the instructions. This is exactly what I wanted for my fitness goals. I'm not a huge fitness nut, but I wanted to get healthier and lose some weight, and I hated estimating how many calories I was burning. Proof--on MyFitnessPal, which I use to track my activity and eating, it wanted to give me around 150 calories for a 51-minute I took with my dog today. However, this HRM said 350--because it picked up on the fact that most of it was uphill and I was going at a fast pace, hence burning more calories. I also like seeing my heart rate fluctuate because it motivates me to keep moving--not to let my dog sniff too much! I've always hated going up hills, and now I know why--my heart rate jumps at least 15 BPM when I'm going up a hard hill! But that's how I burn so many calories (that and the brisk pace). So, I'm more motivated to go up hills because there's an explicit pay off. It's also very encouraging to look down and see how many calories you're burning! And to know that it's realistic and not something a computer comes up with. I will say that the elliptical at the gym is pretty darn close to this thing, but it says I'm burning about 20 more calories than I really am at any given time. So I've burned, say, 250, but the elliptical says 270. Not a huge deal, but I like knowing it's really 250 because I don't want those 20 calories to make me go over my "budget" for the day. Again, I was pretty skeptical with this, because I pictured it being really bulky and not accurate. But I find it's very accurate, and very motivating! I also like that you can set up the heart rate goal so you know if you're getting too low or high. This thing really encourages me to keep moving and to keep my heart rate up--which is just what I wanted! Very easy to use, too. A great purchase! BONUS - I plan to try to start a family in the near future, and this will be great for monitoring my heartrate while walking, etc. so I don't go over the safe limit. It's just good to see where your heart rate is.
Review: Awesome Product!! - I purchased the Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor Watch about a year ago after doing a lot of research on the countless fitness trackers out there on the market, and I rely heavily on desertcart reviews. I typically do not write reviews myself, but I have been so happy with this purchase I was compelled to share my support for this as well. The ratings and reviews on this monitor are spot on. When I was looking for a fitness tracker I was taking a few things into consideration: truly reliable heart rate monitoring (running & lifting weights), calorie tracker, workout timer, and price. I was not concerned about a step counter, sleep tracker, and or a fancy app tracker to go along with it. Don't get me wrong, those Fitbit watches are slick, but I personally didn't really need all of that. Plus, I didn't want a fitness watch to wear all day; I prefer to wear my other daily watches. Last thing about Fitbit, while they do have a good track record of accurate heart rate monitoring while walking/running, I've read that their watches do not track heart rate as well when doing strength training/lifting, which was personally a deal breaker for me. My goal was to monitor my daily calorie intake to lose weight, so I paired this watch which tracks calories burned during workouts and the free Under Armour calorie counter app which tells you exactly how many calories are in the food/meals you eat. They worked amazing together. To date, I'm down 23 lbs. and I seriously don't think I could have done it without this watch. It is so simple to use, and it provides instant gratification at the end of the workout to know exactly how many calories you've burned. One thing I've always struggled with while running/working out was the guessing game of how many calories I burned, did I really push myself as hard as I could, and constantly looking at the clock on the wall to figure out my rest time. This watch takes care of all of that. The workout timer is also amazing because I like to do a lot of circuit training, so whenever I am done with a lift, I know exactly how much time I have to rest until the next set. Such a simple concept for a fitness watch, but Polar just makes it so easy, it’s amazing. No issues with batteries, malfunctioning, or anything like that either. I could go on, but in all, I couldn't be happier with this purchase. If you are looking for an easy to use, reliable, and functional heart rate monitor, then I can tell you this is it. Awesome job Polar, I think you've made a lifelong customer because of it. Good luck everyone!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it work without doing any exercise. Just sitting down and turning it on?**
A: I've never done that, but immediately starts registering my heart rate as soon as I put it on. So I don't see why it wouldn't work for that purpose.

**Q: What are the main differences between the FT4 and FT7?**
A: Hi Chelsea! Practically the 2 models have the same basic features heart rate monitor, what distinguishes FT 7 is that you can save the data on your computer or laptop through her polar site, and the other difference is that it has an option that is called "Energy pointer" that will determine the optimal intensity at which the maximum fat burning effect is achieved. In my opinion not much different from each other because I think they are very easy and convenient to use perfect for people who start training in any discipline or Gym with my personal training clients have always been a great tool to reach your goals . I hope you have served as something my humble response. blessings!!!!

**Q: Do I need to buy the gel?**
A: No, you do not. The watch comes with a strap that goes around your chest to monitor your heart rate. No gel is needed for this watch to work.

**Q: What size strap comes with it?**
A: This unit comes with the standard strap size; medium to xxl. This will fit 30 to 45 inches around.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Caution about SoftStrap Size!!!!!
*by L***I on January 21, 2015*

So I bought this in September and have not been to the gym without it ever since. It is truly my companion and I will not workout with it on. So the pros of this are that it does exactly what it says it does, it tracks your heart rate, calories burned, gym time, and even stores this information as training files on the watch itself. The heart rate monitor itself is tiny and easy to put on. It is very comfortable, as in you do not notice you are even wearing it (if i run errands after the gym I usually forget to take it off until I get home to shower). It is a very reliable device and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to keep track of calories burned and how much time they spend in the gym (or outside running). CONS: When you receive the watch it comes with the soft strap in a generic size of M-XXL. I am a very petite girl and so I had a lot of trouble with keeping the band up on my chest. It would often slide onto my stomach and so there's me at the gym, doing cardio, trying to get this heart rate monitor back in the correct position (I wear it directly under my sports bra). It was tightened as far as it would go and it still fell down. It really started interfering with my workouts and so I contacted Polar and they replaced the soft strap with an XS at no charge to me. Now it fits perfect!:) Also, for some odd reason this watch DOES NOT have a stopwatch. I mistakenly thought that because it was a sports watch it would have a stop watch, nope. Just keep in mind when buying this if your a tinier person like I am the soft strap will give you grief. However, I still gave this 5 stars because it is an EXCELLENT watch, does what it is supposed to do, and Polar customer service was super nice and completely understood my situation. When this watch poops out on me (which I hope isn't for a long time) I will definitely be buying this brand again!
