The Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor is a very modern-looking fitness training watch that does not over-complicate things so you can get on with your training schedule with the confidence that the FT4 is accurately recording the data you actually want.

The Polar FT4 features a heart rate monitor, a calorie burn display, recorded totals data and a graphical target zone indicator and also benefits from the money-saving facility to change the battery yourself.

Put simply, the Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor allows you to monitor your fitness while training and measure your progress at the end of your session without a lot of programming and calibration before you get on with your session.

The Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor will tell you whether you are improving your fitness based on your heart rate, it will display the number of calories burned and it is supplied with a comfortable textile transmitter and coded heart rate transmission to avoid interference with other units nearby such as is likely to be the case in a gym.

The Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor is available in two models which are described as the male and female versions with the female version being 4 grams lighter. Either model can be used by males or females if they want to choose their FT4 according to the weight or the colour scheme.
