Polar FT40 Women’s Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Beige) Review

4 stars only because it is expensive I think but I do like the technology.
I have used this watch for 4 months now. You do have to be a little smart both with computers and in running this device properly. Once you go through the setup this device has helped me watch how my VO2 has improved while my weight has decreased over time. You must manually change your weight which I choose to update on a weekly basis. I also perform my fitness test weekly. I purchased the available weblink device so I can upload to the polar website. (It is called Flowlink which is sold separately and was about $55) This allows me to see a graph of my progress and label which sports I have been doing so I can look back over time and identify workouts and caloric demands. You must personally set up the website with your own personal sports. This website also is a great resource to help you with workouts if you choose to go that route. I am a physical therapist who has fallen a little off the fitness side since getting older and raising a family. Now I am on a mission! You must really play with this watch to get it set up just the way you like it. I like the display that is on this page display with the heartrate showing and then during a workout I only have to briefly bring the watch near the chest strap and it will change to time quickly so I can see the time of day. Then it reverts back to the heartrate setting. I bought the beige which is easily cleaned with soap and water. The lense has not scratched yet. I only get teased over the display size but these are by non-athletes. Note: You can also attach it to your handlebars during biking workouts. I am trying to work in certain zones and so I like to see where I am with my heartrate but you can set alarms to tell you this.
