I was pleased and am still pleased that I bought the Polar 11 Heart Rate Monitor for my daughter last Christmas. A young but serious runner and exercise enthusiast, she is still thrilled with her new “toy.” I checked around a bit in order to get just the perfect gift for a young woman who [...]

I’ve noticed that only two short comments about Polar FT 60 Heart Rate Monitor have been posted so I considered that my buying experience might be very useful to those who are trying to decide on the Polar FT60 or some other Polar model.
