Polar FT7 does it come with the strap After reading the reviews, I so confused. Does the Polar FT7 heart rate monitor come with the strap or does that have to be purchased separately?

Buy from http://www.heartratemonitorsusa.comSimilar pricing and you are given a choice of strap size.

stupid question but I have to ask. How do I read how much fat I burned. I tested it for 10 minutes and my fat results was:00.03.07. Not sure how to interpret that. Thanks anyone who can help

Does anyone know the size of the check strap ? I wear a size 50 suit and wondering if it will fit me.

Thanks so much! I was nervous thinking I had to purchase the strap separately. Will be ordering it soon...on Friday to be exact :)

Did you ever receive a response to this? From one of the reviews on the FT7, the person said he believed a bigger strap would be better for chest sizes bigger than 44". It would be nice if they put the min / max limits in the description! I found the following helpful: Polar Soft Strap Set (XXX-Large)

Yes; the chest strap is the only way this watch can monitor your heart rate and calories. Without it, it's just a watch with functions you can't use

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.

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

The chest strap is sold separately. I had one from my old Garmin 305 that works great.

Hello Mr. Pinto. No, the monitor wiill not work without the chest strap. The chest strap has to be fitted farily tightly around your chest and the strap and the electrode should also be moistened. This improves the performance of the monitor. Also, the strap and electrode should be cleaned as per the supplied instructions and stored separately after use. Hope this answers your question. Good luck.

The heart rate monitor is attached to a strap that fits around your chest, right under your bra, and syncs with the Vivofit. I just wear it when I exercise. Although it bugged me a little when I first started wearing it, I usually forget I have it on now.

All Polar's are sold with the HRM strap and transmitter. Polar does not sell the watches separately.

It doens't have any bluetooth capability - you need the $80 polar chest strap that's bluetooth capable. This is the basic one that's been around forever that's compatible with I think the majority of Polar units.

You have to check the options on the one you pick, but this one apparently comes with it. If you have had other Forerunners, the heart rate monitor strap seems to work well with any of them. It is another reason I like the 310 - the heart rate monitor is usually pretty good. But there is one big thing I have found and that is that if you wear clothes that have static or some certain fabrics, it won't work well, so you have to figure out what clothes don't interfere with it.

It is a wristwatch, and it comes with a chest strap to monitor your heart rate. The chest strap wirelessly communicates with the watch, so your heart rate is displayed on the watch.

Yes, all are included with the Triple. The HR strap is a little bit thicker than Polar's but you can change the battery yourself on the Sigma. Cadence and HR always display in smaller print on the top line, current speed is large in the middle, and your third choice (per button click) like distance or average speed display on the bottom line. Good basic unit and I like the setup.

Yes it comes with the chest strap monitor. I have also found that, by accident, that monitor operates on the same transmission frequency, to the wrist display unit, that is used by Life Fitness treadmills. I get automatic heart rate display from our treadmill.

No, it is sold seperately for about $50. The monitor and sensor are proprietary and a Polar sensor will not work. That is a negative for this watch and heart rate monitor.

This one comes with a foot pod that helps you to measure how long you have run, and at what speed you were running basically. No, it needs the chest strap in order to measure your heart rate, otherwise it's just a fancy watch. The chest strap is comfortable and easy to use, I use it almost on daily basis while I'm training. If you just want to use it as a watch, you don't need the chest strap, on the other hand if you don't use tight shirts, you could wear the chest strap and nobody would notice it. This one is for runners or people who walk and want to check distance, speed and such. It's great for training though.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that question. I can tell you that this watch doesn't come with a heart rate monitor. I bought 2 of them. I'm not sure where Amazon got that picture from showing the watch with a monitor cord.

You should just need the chest strap heart rate monitor, the foot pod is really only to calculate the amount of steps you take. The watch itself is really the only thing you NEED.
