Product Reviews of Polar FT40 Beige Heart Rate Monitor for Women - Size XS/SM
Product Review: Great sports watch
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great heart monitor sports watch. Chest strap is comfortable to wear with no chafing, the watch readings are mostly accurate for high intensity workouts. The only thing I have noticed is that the calorie expenditure reading at low intensity workout( 50-65% VO2 max) is not very accurate. It showed only a 120 calorie bunred for an intense 1 hour 15 min of weight training which doesn't seem right.I mean you burn more than that just by doing yoga! But the cardio calorie readings are pretty close to what I expected. For 70 minutes of running @ 10 min/mile showed a 625 calorie which is close to what I expected. All and all, I think its a good watch, you can keep track of your heart rate and training zones. I just won't use it for my muscle training workouts.
