Best of the FT Series,
I’m a certified Personal Trainer and Spin Cycling Instructor as well as a 4x Guinness World Record Holder in various ultra endurance events. I highly recommend the FT40 because it provides total calories AND percent calories from fat, which is very helpful in weight loss training program design. It also provides total duration of workout and time spent in one’s “Fat Burning” Zone (50-65% of MHR) and “Fitness Zone” (65-80% of MHR). Also provides V02 testing. The watch is very user friendly and a favorite of my clients. Price point is also good. No stopwatch feature, but thats why they made stopwatches 🙂 I prefer the FT40 over the companion and higher priced FT60.

|Great until you need to replace battery,
I have owned four polar heart rate monitors and bought the FT40 because of the replaceable battery option. After replacing the battery, I could not receive a signal if the receiver was more than three inches from the transmitter. Even though the transmission was picked up by the exercise equipment in the gym, Polar customer support said it was likely my chest strap. I doubted this, but made the plunge. Nope, Still didn’t work. I then replaced the batteries in the transmitter and the receiver again. No luck. Customer support then told me only Sony or Panasonic batteries work. Nope, no luck there either. They want me to send it in for repairs, which of course defeats the purpose of the replaceable battery. Check the user’s forum at Polar and you will see this is not an isolated problem. Stay away from this one.

|Makes the Difference,
This device takes the guesswork out of the workout. My issue is weight loss. For me, prior to having this gizmo, the point working out was to get the calorie burn working. If I burn more calories then I take in, then I lose weight. Fitness was a byproduct.
But just how many calories did I really consume?
When I do workout, what was my average heart rate?
Peak heart rate after the stress is the killer; what was that?
Now that I have the metrics a whole new world is opening. This device is turning me into exercise freak and my wife and daughter say that is a good thing.
