Polar FT60 Watch Great product.
I bought an FT60 after using an FT7 for a year. Black with white screen.

My workouts are typically cardio followed by weights and I really like to see how effectively my workout is going.
The FT7 was reliable but I wanted some more immediate feedback than just Calories / HR and to be able to track how I was doing in terms of fat burn vs fitness - during not after my workout.

The immediate feedback provided by this HR monitor is great - you get to set a goal in terms of weight loss vs improving fitness, and weekly calorie and zone time goals. It will tell you what zone you are currently training in, how you should divide your workout between the three zones and if you are entirely outside (above or below) them (going too hard or not hard enough).

This is exactly what I was looking for.
It is also a nice watch that I can wear outside the gym - the FT7 quite frankly looks like a cheap plastic toy.
The strap on this watch is also pretty big if you need a watch for a bigger wrist.

I would definitely recommend this watch - would have gotten the FT80 but I heeded the warnings on this site.
