Too funny, because I do the same exact thing. I had to wear my old heart rate monitor until I got a battery to change the battery in my FT60, and I was so let down by the lack of numbers. LOL!

thanx for the replies, ladies.... i ordered a new HRM today.... i decided on the FT60.... i'll probably order the flow link, too (plus in researching it found out hubby's HRM will work with it too!)

i ultimately decided on the FT60 for a number of reasons:

-i did a search of replacement for the F11 and the FT60 was recommended
-i didn't need the strength program part of the FT80
-the FT80 got a lot of not so good reviews for being able to see the numbers and the bulbus crystal was easier to scratch or break than the flatter FT60
-the F7 doesn't have fit test
-i didn't like the colors of the F7 (yes... that's important!) (i chose the black FT60.... it looks really purdy in all the online pics!)
-the FT60 gets really great reviews on numerous sites!

there were other reasons... but i can't think of them right now!

i should have it friday! WOOT!

Cali, I did buy the flow link and it's still in shrink wrap. I just log my info into the Fitbit website.

do you have a fitbit? or is that useable by anyone? (i don't have a fitbit and don't tell me i need one! )

oh... i've gotta look up sport tracks, too... saw that listed in one of the reviews....

ya.... i'm undecided about the flow link which is why i didn't order it today... i figure i have 99 workouts til i have to get it (since the HRM holds 99! lol!)

i've lived logging my non-cycling workouts online all these years so i want to do more research and playing around with it before i spend an extra $43! plus i can have it 2 days later once i decide if i want it!

Yes, I do have a Fitbit. Trust me, it's one of the best fitness purchases that I've ever made. LOVE IT!

You won't be disappointed.

I need to give you a heads up on changing the battery in the transmitter. It's a pain in the butt! I stripped the back of two of them, and thankfully Zappos took them back, because Polar wouldn't.

From what I've read on line, there's a 2 euro coin that fits the back notch perfectly.
