Polar FT7 Heart Rate Monitor Watch

Our company sold so many Polar heart rate monitors in 2011 that we lost count, but one statistic stands out as a glaring testimonial to it's success - we hardly got any back and never received any calls about function errors. I know it doesn't sound like much but that is a really big deal because it means that it works well, about the biggest complaint we ever got was that somebody didn't like the looks.

The Polar FT7 is loaded with functionality and features and uses Polar's Energy Pointer technology to tell you if the primary effect of your training session is burning fat or improving cardio fitness in a very graphic way, much like the Polar FT40. This heart rate monitor also comes with the super comfortable Wearlink soft strap technology and is capable of downloading your exercise to Polar's training software with an optional Flowlink device.

Polar FT7 heart rate monitors comes with all of the features you'd expect from a high quality heart rate monitor including a key lock to prevent unintentional button pushes and Polar's unique Heart Touch technology. Heart touch allows the FT7 to change screens and show different measurements during exercise without pushing any buttons. Just move the wrist unit close to the chest strap and the display automatically changes which is great for cooler weather or when you have gloves on.

FT7 also comes in different sizes to fit both men and women as opposed to the generic uni-sex one size fits all.

One very unique feature about the Polar FT7 is its ability to collect heart rate data while swimming. Polar makes use of a stronger transmitter signal and no other manufacturer offers you this technology.

Polar heart rate monitors also now incorporate 100% user replaceable batteries for both the watch and the chest strap, so gone are the dark days of not having use of the watch while you waited for a battery change. It also has a low battery indicator and tells time and date just like a regular watch, along with a back light for low light situations.

The other very popular feature with Polar heart rate monitors is both the graphic display of heart rate relative to your zones, along with audible alerts. The cumulative calories burned during exercise is also yet another popular feature, plus Polar provides you with training videos on their website that make watch set-up quick and easy. These videos walk you through the initial start up and how to use all of the great features so you'll really be able to enjoy your watch right out of the gate.

For really good fundamental capabilities it is hard to imagine finding a better watch for under $110 than the Polar FT7. It covers all the basics and has advanced features and capabilities that you can only find from Polar.
