Review on FT4 Heart Rate Monitor by POLAR by Dana Bullock

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product! good for heart rate monitors

I bought the Polar FT4 heart rate monitor about a year ago after doing a lot of research on the countless fitness trackers on the market and I rely on them a lot. in Revain reviews. I don't usually write reviews myself, but I was so pleased with this purchase that I felt compelled to share my support in this regard. The ratings and reviews for this monitor are true. When I was looking for a fitness tracker, I considered a few things: really reliable heart rate measurement (running and weightlifting), calorie tracker, exercise timer and price. I didn't bother with a pedometer, sleep tracker, or fancy app tracker. Don't get me wrong, this Fitbit watch is good, but I personally didn't need everything. Also, I didn't want to wear a fitness watch all day; I prefer to wear my other daily watch. One last thing about Fitbit, while they have a good track record of accurately monitoring heart rate while walking/running, I've read that their watch doesn't track heart rate while strength training/weightlifting either, which personally broke the deal. to me. My goal was to track my daily calorie intake in order to lose weight, so I paired this watch, which tracks calories burned during exercise, with Under Armor's free calorie counter app, which shows exactly how many calories in a meal /meals you eat. . They worked wonderfully together. To date I have lost 23 pounds. and I honestly don't think I could have made it without this watch. It's so easy to use and provides instant gratification at the end of your workout, letting you know exactly how many calories you've burned. One thing I always struggle with when running/exercising is the guessing game of how many calories I've burned, whether I'm really pushing my limit, and constantly looking at the wall clock to figure out when I'm resting should. . This watch will take care of all of that. The workout timer is also great because I like to do a lot of circuit training. So when I've finished an exercise, I know exactly how much time I need to rest before my next set. Such a simple fitness watch concept, but Polar makes it so simple it's amazing. No problems with batteries, malfunctions or the like. I could go on but overall I'm very happy 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. Great job Polar, I think you've gained a loyal customer that way. Good luck everyone!
