I've always used Polar HRM watches but got fed up of having to send them back or buy a new one when the watch battery ran out.
So I bought a Suunto T3C watch - something of a disaster! Not intuitive to use and unreliable.
When the Suunto T3C finally packed up I looked again at Polar and delighted to find they now have user replaceable watch batteries.
I ordered the FT40M because it had all the features I need which in order of usefulness are:
1) Measures heart rate ( rather essential! )
2) Comfortable to wear chest strap
3) Calculates how many calories have been burnt
4) Can connect to the PC and download data ( needs optional Polar FLOWLINK accessory )
5) Has fitness test built in
This is all I need really as I just use the monitor at home or in the gym with the aim of losing weight and keeping fit. Other more expensive models have options for GPS, extra tests, strength training programmes but for me these are not likely to be used much.
Been using it for a week now and picks up heart rate very reliably ( unlike the Suunto T3C ). Calorie counter is great for motivating me to exercise. The PC download is nice for tracking progress. The fitness test is probably something I'd only use infrequently but it tells me I've very fit for my age and who doesn't like compliments!

Pros:
1) Does what it says.
2) Easy to use.
3) Has an accurate measurement of how much calories were burned during exercise.
Cons:
1) A little Bulky to be a women's watch.
2) Considering the price, it would have been nicer if an extra battery for the watch was included.
Overall a must have if you wish to improve your fitness.

Colour Name:Green
I really like this heart rate monitor. It is stylish and functional. The chest strap is comfortable to wear and it is really motivating to see what calories you are burning during a workout and your heart rate. The functions on the watch are very easy to use and its very easy to set up when you purchase the devise. Worth the money paid and I would recommend this devise.
