The primary function of the Polar FT7's fitness monitor is to monitor the effects of your training regimen. It achieves this goal displaying your heart rate in relation to aerobic fitness and fat burning. Polar OwnCal displays the amount of calories burned during one workout as well as the cumulative amount based on information from several training sessions to help you achieve long term goals. The watch portion includes an alarm with a snooze feature, stopwatch, and a date indicator. The Polar FT7 does not calculate weight or distance measurements.
