Polar FT7 Heart Rate Monitor Works with my Schwinn Exercise Bike.

Polar FT7 Heart Rate Monitor Works with my Schwinn Exercise Bike.
I bought a Schwinn exercise bike this summer and was using my very old CatEye heart rate monitor with it. I was concerned that the FT7 wouldn't work with the console on the Schwinn, but it does, so I'm very happy about that.

That old HRM worked, but it required gel to get a reading and sometimes it would drop out. The FT7 gives very similar heart rates, but it has the advantage of not requiring gel. Just wet the strap. So far, I haven't seen any anomalies. The FT7 is also more comfortable to wear. The watch, which I didn't think I would use, has some nice features. For example, it is very easy to see old workouts.
