## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the display visible enough to show heart rate while spinning with a class in a dark room?**
A: I made a discovery with the backlight completely by accident.  In the settings, you can set the watch to tell you the time when you bring it up near the sensor on the chest strap.  Go ahead and set your watch to do this.  Then, if you press the top left button for the backlight after you've started your workout, for the duration of that workout, every time you bring your watch up to the sensor on your chest, the backlight will come on, you'll get the time, then your heart rate... all one-handed.  Not sure how helpful this is to you, but I found it to be easier than fiddling with buttons every time I run in the dark.

**Q: I'm sure it's listed in the description somewhere but I can't find it. Is the chest strap fabric or rubber?**
A: It's like a mixture of fabric and elastic. However in the middle of the strap where you clip the small device that comes with the strap (and the wrist watch/H.R.monitor) it has a material similar to rubber or something synthetic.

 I believe that part is made of that material so the device can catch your heart beats better.

You could check a review video or if you would like to see it more clearly.

Hope this helps.

**Q: Do I have to have the chest strap on if I only want to track calories burned?**
A: Yes. Burned calories are calculated through your heart rate, which requires the chest strap.

**Q: is polar ft7 ant+**
A: According to the Polar website, the FT7 comes with the H1 heart rate sensor (the chest strap). This sensor uses "5 kHz coded transmission compatible with most Polar products and compatible gym equipment in fitness clubs."  (http://www.polar.com/us-en/products/accessories/H1_heart_rate_sensor) That is different from both Ant+ and Bluetooth, however. If you are interested in a Bluetooth-compatible sensor, the Polar H7 heart rate sensor comes with the Polar A300, or may be purchased separately, and it is Bluetooth capable. Hope this helps.

    Does a great, but basic job!
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2012*

I ordered the men's red and black Polar and I'm a woman.  I liked the color better--the only difference (I spoke to a Polar rep regarding this btw) is that the strap is slightly wider and has more holes for a larger wrist.  I have 6.5" wrists and this fits beautifully with plenty of room to make tighter if I wanted to without having any strap overhang.  Great fit!I wanted a basic watch to calculate my calories accurately.  I also wanted a watch that could record my workouts to see HR and calorie progression.  This does just that--it has room to store your last 99 workouts (and if you wanted to pay to buy the Polar device, you could transfer the files to your computer---but it was more than the watch and I'm not that OCD.)  It tells you your average and max heart rate, time of your workout, wether you were in fat or fitness burn and for how long and spent calories.  But that's all this does!  No pedometer, no GPS....that's for a much pricier model.  Don't be discouraged by the black face and greenish LED readout.  You can see it clear as day in a lit room, somewhat faded in the outside light and enough in the dark.  It does have a backlight if you need to see it in dark situations.  The strap fits beautifully and is adjustable.  It's easy to put on and doesn't rub the skin.  The clip attachment for the chest monitor is fine---mine has snapped off twice....and this is when it rolled up my sports bra or was slightly too tight.  You will know immediately if it does fall off as your monitor on your watch will tell you to check your HRM.  It doesn't bulge through your shirt---very discreet.My cons:The buttons are flimsy.  If they touch your wrist at any pressure they will activate.  This could do something simple like activate your monitor before you're ready or something annoying like stop your monitor so you have to reset it and not have one reading for the workout.  This happens when you get sweaty---or if the watch is too tight----be careful to make sure you are still on the setting you want to be on whilst working out.The backlight could last longer--flashes on for a second.The beep is pointless---it is so inaudible that you cannot hear it in a quiet room let alone with headphones on or in a gym environment.  Don't count on it---in fact don't even count it as a feature.Bottom line:  Perfect for me if the buttons weren't so finicky.  But I've learned the tricks and I haven't had too many issues---but do be warned.  This watch is waterproof (not sure how deep).  But you get what you pay for---again--the basics.  The only real difference between this and the FT4 (cheaper model but looks the same) is that the latter only calculates 10 workouts for your records....worth the few extra bucks to get that data.  Look, I had a Timex that was so problematic and hard to use and uncomfortable that I trashed it.  Polar are the top guys in the HRM field---I WOULD recommend this watch for sure!

    I Totally LOVE this Heart Rate Monitor!
  

*by C***K on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2017*

I absolutely LOVE this Heart Rate Monitor!!  A bit of background: MANY Years ago, I began with the Polar FT1, & that served me Well, & I continue to consider the FT1 a Great HRM.  About 3 years ago, I decided to "Upgrade" to the FT7 (which still works, Btw);  Then recently, I just wanted to make sure my FT7 is in great condition, so I bought this 2nd FT7.If any of you are "on the fence" about using an HRM, I Very Much Encourage you to take the plunge.  First of all, it will encourage you to work out, & to work out at the most effective intensity;  Secondly, it will make your workouts EASIER!::  MOST people tend to drive themselves a lot Harder in their workouts than is beneficial (I Still do that!), & for this, an HRM lets you RELAX--knowing that your workout intensity remains in the ZONE that has the Greatest Fitness Benefit -- exactly for YOU.Polar's FT7 has been around a LONG time, which is why that company attempts to steer you to one of their more recent devices.  I disagree with that because, in my opinion, the FT7 was the high-water mark of Polar's development, and until they come out with something dazzling, why try to improve upon Excellence? (Plus, it would only cost you more--with questionable benefit).I will close for now with 4 Brief Tips:  •As you can see by the other reviews, limited battery-life is a primary complaint that people have about Heart Rate Monitors.  I recommend that you attach the transmitter _JUST_ Before your workout; Then when you're done, DETACH the transmitter from the elastic strap & Dry the transmitter thoroughly with a paper towel -- A wet transmitter Continues to use the battery;  •Secondly, Polar has made the 2 batteries on the FT7 replaceable for good reason!: Be prepared to replace them so your FT7 will provide a long, productive life;  •Thirdly, for most people, the transmitter's signal works Fine when there's a damp contact with your skin; but seein's how I always tend to maximize everything, I like to increase the wetness of the contact by adding the inexpensive 
  
Spectra 360 Electrode Gel - Parker Laboratories - 8.5 oz Tube - (Pack of 3)







  
  
     "Spectra Gel."  •And 4thly, As Noted in other comments, the FT7's Strap can inconveniently unhook at times. Here's an Easy Solution:: I just added a few stitches--attaching the ends, & now I put it on over my head; Works _Perfectly_! :)  {Just restitch if it eventually loosens a bit.}My main workouts consist of just starting to jog on whatever street I happen to find myself ... but note also that if you are wearing the FT7 transmitter at a gym, the machines there will automatically & accurately display your heart rate!  Totally Cool!Well, that's all I can think of at the moment;  I'll add an update if I think of one.If you have a question or comment, please leave it in the comments section & I will be happy to respond!  Cheers!  Chuck
