The Polar FT4F Heart Rate Monitor Watch is easy enough to use for handling workouts. It does not really have all the features the other models have, but in keeping yourself well-informed in your fitness progress, this is already perfect in keeping and tracking all your workout information. This works well with daily exercise routines, as you could easily keep up with your workout schedules and track your improvements on a daily basis. The alarm, date, and time functions can help you a lot with these. There can also be a lot of issues when it comes to sizes and actual fittings. But with Polar FT4F Heart Rate Monitor Watch, it fits everyone even up to about 8 inches wide. So even for those who have wider wrists, they would still be able to use this watch with comfort.
With regards to the water resistance, it works well in tracking swimming laps. The only thing is that it is not advisable to press the buttons while underwater. This makes it hard to see all of your workout information at once, since you have to press those buttons to change displays between the heart rate, the workout time, and the calorie burns. The great thing about this particular model is that it comes with a chest strap that is made from fabric, instead of plastic like in other models and brands, which makes this strap comfortable. Ultimately, this model offers software support that you can buy for you to download your workout information from your watch. But the software can be expensive and requires extra hardware for your computer. So you could use the website instead to copy the information straight off the Polar without downloading.
