Polar FT60 So far so good!
I had some Reward points to use from AMX so I settled on this watch. I thought it was too many points and now I realize why - I wound up getting a model with the GPS unit included... Now I have to start running!
It is very easy to set up right out of the box. My main reason for owning it was to get a measure of my fitness level as well as my heart rate. Basically, I put on the chest strap, start the exercise DVD (thank you, Gilad) press the button twice, the stopwatch starts, my heartbeat is picked up and it tells me how fast I am beating by glancing at the watch, and afterwards it tells me my average heart rate, my maximum heart rate, calories burned and how much time I spent in each "zone" I found that when doing cardio with Gilad I am mostly in zone 3, and when doing "sculpting" I am in zone 1 and 2. I do not have the "flowlink" yet, as I do not mind inputting the data manually on the website (its only 5 or 6 numbers to put in for each session- and I think I am more apt to "look" at the numbers if I type them in manually. Plus, it does not work with a mac yet.
The watch is not gorgeous. The display is very large. Looks fine but is a lot thicker than my dress watch, which is not surprising.
