Review on πŸ’ͺ Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor - Accurate Fitness Tracking for Optimal Performance by Eric Brooks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

There's a reason everyone loves Polar watches! I became a polar lover!

The description says purple pink, which is not true. It is like the photo, pink over pink. I LOVE this watch. I have previously bought a Sigma PC9 and a $50 bracelet from Amazon and thought it was great and had no idea why even anyone would be excited about their Polar watch. I loved this PC9 until the day it screwed me up. Suddenly the buttons started sticking and the strap only worked when I used heart glue for the signal. I decided it was time to cross paths and see what the polarizing rants were about. I'm officially converted! Why I love this watch: Revain is cheaper than retail! The strap is soft and flexible, making you feel comfortable wearing it! (My Sigma had a hard plastic one that hurt when squatting) The receiver snaps onto the blet and you can remove it to safely wash the strap after your workout. The battery is simply replaced in the receiver. The clock is easy to use and install. I found that out without reading the instructions. It gives a rough estimate of calories burned, which not all HRMs can provide. It automatically connects your heart rate to the equipment you're running, so you can look at the treadmill instead of your watch. Dislikes: I thought my receiver fell out of my gym bag so I ordered it online. It was only $10 less than what I paid for the watch set! The receiver is the most expensive spare part, so keep an eye on it! Luckily I found mine under the front seat of my car and was able to retrieve it.
