Review: Extremely minimalist product: No heart rate curves; no detailed data, no easy data access (export) - This device works, but is extremely limited. If all you need is a HRM that tells you how long your exercise session was and what your max and mean HR was in that session, the FT7 will probably suffice. And it's cheap, but you get what you pay for. And if you plan on transferring your data to Polar Personal Trainer, I guarantee you will become disappointed when you find out that that online program has great features - but not for the FT7. Some of this criticism ought to be aimed at Polar's online display software for this product (Polar Personal Trainer), but for those who expect a HRM to, at a minimum, provide a time series of your workout data (a cardiogram) this product is not for you. All it will ever give you is the duration, max and mean HR. No HR curve, no detailed data at all. As for the display software (which requires that you use the USB Flowlink dongle sold separately), Polar conveniently does NOT tell you that most of its advertised features are dependent on the type of recorder you have. E.g. if you have a high dollar GPS FT80 etc, you can probably see everything they advertise for the Polar Personal Trainer, but for the FT7 it displays only the summary data I have already mentioned. For all I know, that's all that this cheap recorder actually saves. I've been using Polar HRMs for 16 years, and one thing I always liked about the Accurex and S725X that I had before the FT7 was ACCESS. The older HRM's saved data directly to a PC in ASCII files (YYMMDDse.hrm) which made it very easy to use the data for analysis outside Polar's various software programs (e.g. ProTrainer5). Now it seems all their monitors just dump data to Polar Personal Trainer, which means the creator of the data - you and your heart - can't have the data to do with as you please. But that's not available with the FT7. But the most egregious thing about this FT7 is that there is no detailed HR data at all. It apparently is not even saved (I've emailed their CS about this, but so far no response). As for export, you can "export" the summary data mentioned above, but not as a txt or xls file - the export format is XML. I have no idea what the point of burying simple data in a markup language like XML is, but that's the only export format that Polar thinks you need. If you're not getting the full impact of this, it means that if you wish to keep simple summaries like monthly cardio data, you will have to dig the data out of XML files and transcribe it manually into some other program. Again, the point of exporting any kind of data in XML completely eludes me. Lastly, as many reviewers of almost all the Polar products desertcart sells have mentioned - Polar customer support, for all intents and purposes, has ceased to exist. I have had no response to emails to them. Review: Don't forget your glasses. - This is my third heart rate monitor and second with a chest strap. But the FT7 heart rate numbers are nearly impossible to see. The time of day has large numbers but the heart rate is too small to read when working out. Have to almost stop to see my heart rate and I don't wear glasses. ## Features - Watch and heart rate monitor ideal for active types interested in monitoring their fitness level based on heart rate - Innovative Energy Pointer feature graphically displays real-time information during workout, letting you know if you're burning fat or improving aerobic fitness - Own Cal calculates number of calories expended during a training session based on weight, height, age, gender and maximum heart rate - Comes with Polar FT7 training computer, Polar WearLink+ transmitter and FT7 Getting Started Guide - Includes limited two-year manufacturer's warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00EJJM25Y | | Additional Features | Heart Rate Monitor | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Brand | Polar | | Case Material Type | Rubber | | Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth | | Customer Reviews | 3.0 3.0 out of 5 stars (23) | | Manufacturer | Polar | | Supported Application | Heart Rate Monitor | | Water Resistance Depth | 30 Meters | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Polar - **Case Material:** Rubber - **Connectivity Technology:** Bluetooth - **Manufacturer:** Polar - **Material:** Rubber - **Special Feature:** Heart Rate Monitor - **Supported Application:** Heart Rate Monitor - **Water Resistance Depth:** 30 Meters - **Water Resistance Level:** Water Resistant ## Images ![Polar FT7 Heart Rate Monitor Watch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51bfzt0PG7L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can the user replace the batteries on both the watch and the strap?** A: Hi Sarah, Yes you can change the battery on the watch and the strap by yourself, it is easy. Battery type: CR2025. Merry Christmas! Claude **Q: Are FT4 and FT7 the same size?** A: Yes, I bought one of each, one for me and one for a gift, and they are the same size. **Q: I'm thinking of getting this for my dad who has undergone a heart surgery, so that he can monitor the heart rate. Will this help?** A: Yes...especially if he's doing an type of exercising. However, you may want check for a different product for your dad because there is a strap the is worn around the body that works with the watch to monitor the heart rate. **Q: what size is the strap** A: The strap is elastic, about 1 inch wide and can adjust from approximately 20 inches to 40 inches. I have a broad chest so I tried it extended all the way but this was much too loose. I kept tightening it in an attempt to keep the monitor in place but even when the elastic was fully extended and had no more stretch the monitor wouldn't stay when I pushed off the wall swimming. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Extremely minimalist product: No heart rate curves; no detailed data, no easy data access (export) *by C***1 on January 2, 2014* This device works, but is extremely limited.

But the FT7 heart rate numbers are nearly impossible to see. The time of day has large numbers but the heart rate is too small to read when working out. Have to almost stop to see my heart rate and I don't wear glasses. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Just Average, Watches as good or better available at lower price *by D***. on June 5, 2014* Despite bearing the well-respected Polar brand this is still just another Chinese made watch that is cheaply built and not very durable. I had a previous off brand that worked as well and had a few more functions than the polar and costs about 2/3rd as much. That watch disappeared from an unlocked gym locker. I've had the FT7 for a little over a year. The face of the FT7 scratches easily. Battery life is just about a year and replacement is tricky. Took me about 30 minutes to get the battery contacts to line up and the watch to turn on. Buttons do not have a positive click and it sometimes takes a couple of tries to activate the function controlled by the button. The size is one advantage as some sports watches are excessively bulky. Heart rate strap does produce a signal that is picked up by most of the exercise equipment in the gym that have HR features, but the range for the watch is more limited than the previous cheaper watch I had. If the hand with the watch drops and stays well below my waist the HR signal is sometimes lost (and yes, that is with new batteries in both the watch and HR module). Overall, once the face becomes so scratched that it becomes difficult to read (I'm guessing another year or two), I'll replace it with a different brand. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/257055-polar-ft7-heart-rate-monitor-watch](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/257055-polar-ft7-heart-rate-monitor-watch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-18*
