›This little watch motivates me to do more exercise -Stephanie

I love my FT4 heart rate monitor! I was skeptical about the belt and that it would interfere but I don't even notice it's there even when I am doing work on my stomach. I am very interested in how many calories I burn and if I don't burn enough, this little watch motivates me to do more exercise! I like how it stores the data and I can scroll through to see how I've done. The only thing I struggle with is that I often work outside of the range and then the "in range" calculation is not meaningful.

›Congrats for the creativity -Juliana

I really enjoyed the cake displayed by the watch in my birthday! I was laughing for a while after I saw it! Congrats for the creativity.

›fun to watch the calories burn off -R. Paliga

Being on a diet for a long time, the Polar ft4 helps me achieve the proper exercise activities...and it's fun to watch the calories burn off.

›Increased motivation to stay active -C. Urbina

I look forward to wearing my FT4 for all training and exercising purposes. Being able to see the calories burned add up, while being safe by keeping an eye on my heart rate, has given me increased motivation to stay active.

›I have lost 18 lbs. and I couldn't be happier. -M. Brown

I grew tired of using the heart rate monitors that were built into the cardio machines that I used. On a cold morning it would sometimes take five or minutes for the monitor to work and even then who's to say that the registered heart rate was accurate? I finally purchased an FT4 and right from the start of my workout I know what my heart rate is and I know where I need to be so I can burn the most fat during my cardio workout. I have lost 18 lbs. and I couldn't be happier.

›It helps motivate me -M. Wilcox

With the FT4, I am able to track my progress toward my goals as I do my training with various cardio equipment at my gym. It helps motivate me and makes it much easier to keep track of where I am.

›Lost 28 lbs-- this product is GREAT! -D. Swanlund

I have lost 28 lbs since wearing my FT4. I wanted to know how many calories I was burning when do an activity and get the most for the activies I was choosing. I started out walking and soon found out that I needed to push harder to burn carlories. Than I got the opportunity to do Zumba. My instructor is continually introducing new rountines and my calorie burn goes up regularly, so I realize how important it is to change things, even though it is still Zumba, it is different moves. This way I can continue doing something I love. Without the FT4 I am sure I would not be pushing my self so hard, because I know what my zone is and when I go higher I am still alive! This product is GREAT!

›I purchased the Ft4 for training my mind and body -C. Adams

I purchased the Ft4 for training my mind and body while striving to reach the finish line while raising money for different cancer, MS, and diabetes benefit rides. I am in the process of training for the MS 150 mile benefit ride next year. I find it as hard to get Sponsers as it is to train. If I am not at the gym on a spin cycle then I am out pushing myself on the back roads to keep motivated to keep the hope alive for the terminally ill and for the survivors as as someone did for me when I was diagnosed with cancer 5 years ago. There is a cure out there and I will always be trying to fund the people looking. It is the least I can do! My grandmother had breast cancer, and needed a 5 bypass. my mother is class 2 diabetic, two of my best friends are brittle diabetics, while one is waiting on a list for new kidneys. They are not the only reason I try and raise money. I do it for the children that have not fully experienced life yet.

›Buying the Polar is one of the best decisions I've ever made -L. Palmer

When I started taking spin class over a year ago I found the workout very challenging. Although in the past I had always been active, over the last few years I hadn't been working out as hard or consistently as I needed and I could feel the difference. However, once I bought a Polar heart rate monitor, things started to change. I could easily track my heart rate and be certain I was in the correct heart rate zone for my body so the workouts felt good but I didn't overexert myself. With the Polar heart rate monitor as my guide, month after month I got stronger and leaner, losing 12 pounds and slimming down to a size 6. With my increased cardio strength, I decided to enter a half marathon event through Team in Training, something I didn't think I'd ever be able to do. I'm raising funds for a great cause and challenging myself physically in a whole new way. Recently I completed a 9-mile training run, the longest run I've ever completed in my life. I keep training every week, always wearing my Polar. The half marathon is Nov. 14th and I know I will be ready! I didn't know that by buying the Polar heart rate monitor I would end up on this path. I've found my way back to my inner athlete, and I feel stronger and healthier than I ever have. Who knew a little device could provide so much guidance and inspiration! Buying the Polar is one of the best decisions I've ever made. Thanks Polar!

›Helped me make sure I am training at the right level -E. Peasley

When I first began to use the FT4, I was thrilled that it showed me the amount of calories I burned as well as consistently showing my heart rate, and at the end, my average heart rate during my workout. This has helped me make sure I am training at the right level and that I am working hard enough. This is my second Polar product, and I am very pleased with it. :)

›Simple...nice...and right to the point -Kodakmommy

I just got the FT4 and love it already. Its simple...nice...and right to the point. I started my jerouny a year ago and lost 43 pds on my own,then I got hurt in an accident and but 20 back on...Happy to say the 20 is now off but i still have 40 pounds to be at my goal weight...thank you polar...I may also get the FT7 and then give my daughter my FT4 she is only 11 but she sees how important it is to keep an eye on your heart rate while walking, biking, swimming or anything not just for loseing weight but to be healthy and safe.

›Incredible! I bought this watch a few weeks back but used it for the first time this past Sunday and it's unbelievably easy to use. -Gabby

Incredible! I bought this watch a few weeks back but used it for the first time this past Sunday and it's unbelievably easy to use. There is no need to even read the manual because everything is just so simple. No BS, no crazy settings..it's great! It displays your calories burned, heart rate (both average and maximum), and also the duration of your workout. As a disclaimer, I'm not a fitness expert or anything close to it...just a teenage girl trying to lose weight and this is an overall amazing tool for me to have. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do. Worth the price, by the way!

›Helping me to keep track of my numbers -Gina Bautista

I got the pink one. Very easy to setup and configure. It's easy to use; after once or twice you get the hang of it. The more exhaustive documentation is online at the website. It's helping me to keep track of my numbers, get an idea of how I'm doing, and gage my progess. I wish it weren't so expensive, but it's definitely a very good tool and resource.
