Hi, I wonder if the FT40 watch comes with the chest strap heart rate?. Thanks for the reply.

Mine came with one. I'm large, 6'4" and 260 lbs. I ordered the extra large but still had to make an extension for proper fit.works well. I'm in my sixties and have A-fib. My interest was to watch my heart rate when in fibrillation...

Do not worry ! It works very well. I use it every day during exercise, it perfectly comes with the chest strap heart rate.

Thanks for your response, C.J. Duchon!I went ahead and ordered the Women's Polar F6 HRM before seeing C.J. 's response and the response is spot on about what is included with the HRM watch.I have used the chest strap about 5 times. No where have I seen the strap size but I would think it would fit a size 40 inch chest comfortably, maybe a few inches more too.Overall, I very happy with the F6. If I had read C.J.'s comment before ordering the F6, I may have gone ahead and order the F7 instead. Not because of comfort issues with the chest strap included with this model, but because of the F7 including a chest strap with a user servicable battery. Thanks for your response, C.J.

I don't know because I don't swim with my watch. I do take shower wearing the watch and it is Just fine! HRM gets detected immediately when I water the strap and wrap it around chest. Hope this helps...you may want to check with other reviewers.

Yes it comes with a chest strap. The strap has a device that sends your heart rate to the wrist device. The strap is made of an elastic material that is adjustable. I am a 48 regular and it adjusted out to fit just fine.

This model does not include the heart rate monitor and strap. They do have a model that does, but this model is only the watch.

I think you got the wrong item. Ambit 2 Heart comes with the chest strap. The Ambit 2 watch comes alone. Cheers

The "WearLink+" is the heart rate monitor worn on a chest strap (not the FT7). FT7 uses CR1632.

It includes the strap for reading the heart beats and the watch shows your heart rate. So, it's both. I'm very pleased with the one I have!

The watch comes with a sensor and chest strap to monitor your heart rate, but you can choose to not wear the sensor and use it as a watch only if you wish. Cory is right; although the heart rate is accurately recorded, the calories burned is not. Don't rely on it for that.

I have the same question as bareto, the information above says this comes with the T31 chest strap, not the new wearlink one. Is this correct?(I actually hope it is, I hate the new design)

Yes. It comes with a chest strap. Make sure you order it including the strap. Some of the sellers have a without strap option, but you NEED the strap for heart rate.

Yes, the chest strap is the only way to detect your heart rate. It works well with this watch. The first time I used it while on one of the treadmills at our fitness center, I noticed that the chest strap also automatically syncs wirelessly with the treadmill, which shows your heart rate on its display screen. Hope this is helpful!

There is a chest strap and a wristwatch. The wristwatch is really nice, but it does NOT compute calories properly, so if that is a concern, please don't buy this!! I have been using the Polar FT4 for a long time now and have been happy. I did have to call the company at one point because it wasn't performing at it's best for a while, but they gave me some excellent care tips! Should you decide to go with the Polar HRM, please feel free to contact me again and I'll gladly share my tips :-) Best of luck!!

Yes you need the chest belt, as I understand it it is the belt the one that monitors your heart rate and the watch shows it. Hope it helps!

The chest strap is required to receive a heart rate. If it doesn't connect initially, try getting the chest strap sensors wet, then putting it on and holding the watch to the chest strap after it is on your chest. I haven't used it as a watch but I would assume.
