Exquisitely Efficient & Easy to Use Fitness Tracker
Since there are now only two brief comments, these details underlying my conclusion may assist potential FT60 buyers ...
--- What Prompted the Purchase ---
A winter surprise: my Garmin Forerunner 305 yields only heart rate data when exercising indoors. Further, user comments reveal that its associated Foot Pod does nadda unless your feet are moving forward on a treadmill or the like.
Initially, it seemed the Polar F11 would be just fine for indoor tracking. While it performs well, trying to get to the data proved profoundly frustrating. As for pushing the F11's data to the Polar website (free), lotsa luck. The watch needs to chirp/talk to a microphone on your PC. Short version: the thing was a complete pain to actually use, in virtually all respects. I quickly returned it to Amazon, did more research, then grabbed this FT60. Lightyears in blissful difference!

Awesome!
I absolutely love my Polar FT60! This is actually my first and only HRM (Heart Rate Monitor), so I can only give you my opinions from this one item. I do love it though!
I am a 22 year old female whom is slightly overweight and got this to help me maximize my workouts and help motivate me! I can say it has done its job!! It really helps motivate me because I am one of those people who like to keep track of everything. If you have tried calorie counting and deficits, it is super hard on your own, but by using sites like it makes it much easier! I'm not advertising caloriecount, but it is the same thing with this HRM and Polar's website [...]you can easily input all your data from your watch into the website and keep track with so much ease! It makes me not want to miss a workout day at all otherwise I have a big blank spot on my page :P

The best thing is that you can change battery
A HR Monitor Watch is one of those things that when you get your first one you wonder how you ever could live without one... They are addicting and take your excerice to new levels, whether you use them for hardcore workouts or just want to use them for walks. I can't imagine working out anymore not having my HR on me.
I had a Polar F6 before this one, and to be honest I did like that one very much. It was a basic, good qualitve HR monitor from, according to me, the best manufacturer in the business (Polar) that gave me all the information I needed (heart rate, calories burned). The biggest drawback with F6 is that you can't change battery yourself, and considering that the battery life seems to be around 10 months with about 2 hours use/day (Polar says 1-2 years with a 1-2 hours use each day) it gets pretty annoying not being able to change the battery yourself.
So... I wanted to upgrade a bit, but not too much. My need is still a pretty simple HR monintor with...
