The REI Member Dividend
The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.
Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.
Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Comments about Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor - Women's:
After a frustrating experience involving a micro-screwdriver and lots of cursing, I bought this to replace a (less expensive) Polar HRM because I wanted one where I could easily change the battery myself. Yeah, I can do that with this one, but it's just as frustrating...for different reasons.
I've used this HRM for a variety of workouts -- boot camp, spinning, running, power yoga -- and have found it extremely unreliable in picking up the signal from the chest strap. When I'm on the bike, the only way I can get it to read somewhat consistently is to wrap the watch around my bra strap. I don't know if it's an interference issue or what. I just finished an hour-long boot camp workout, and the thing lost the signal no less than 11 times. It's distracting (makes a sad video game-type "game over" noise each time) and makes me doubt the reliability of the reading, not to mention the annoyance of having to stop what you're doing and wiggle around until it picks up the signal again.
The chest strap has a removable transmitter that's much bulkier than some of the slimmer plastic bands I've used, and it's somewhat uncomfortable to have a big plastic lump right under your bust.
I like the reading options and it's easy to scroll through the screens; I also really like that you can pause and restart the monitoring. And it's orange, at least the one I got. Unfortunately, the good features don't make up for the transmission failures.

Comments about Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor - Women's:
...the battery lasted longer.
I have used this several times, but apparently the battery runs out faster than I wanted it to. This wouldn't be a problem if I knew it, because then I could just keep extra batteries hanging around.
The time is accurate, easy to read, easy to navigate functions.
I liked that there is an alarm on it for your target zones, though I am not sure how accurate those readings are. My readings seem to be very low when I use this....maybe it is me or my settings?

Comments about Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor - Women's:
I got it when was I was 6 months pregnant as i wanted to monitor my heart rate while running and spinning.Used it every day and was very happy.Now my baby is 10 weeks old and i have lost most of the weight i gained so the strap had to be adjusted to the smallest. Since it was stretch during my pregnancy it would not stay tight around my chest( cheap quality of the strap).Now it does not pick up my HR.I called the customer service and they are sending me another smaller size strap for free.(great customer service rep).If you are looking for a basic reliable HR monitor.This is a good one.But if you are small or extra small like me you will need to order a different strap.

Comments about Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor - Women's:
I bought this product through rei.com based on the reviews here. I have never gotten this product to work correctly. It consitently reads twice my heart rate or more. I've tried soaking/wetting the electrodes, moving them right/left up/down and switching the transmitter. The polar website wasn't much more helpful in regards to troubleshooting. I submitted a request for help via the polar website and never heard back.

Comments about Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor - Women's:
I bought this watch primarily for daily use, but found the heart rate monitor very easy to use and comfortable, so I have used it for my workouts.
I wish there was a way to use the stopwatch without the heart rate monitor.

Comments about Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor - Women's:
I love this monitor. The only thing that I wish it would do, but I wasn't able to find any other one that would do it either, is I wish it would display the timer and your heart rate on the same screen. I do step workouts where I'll bring my heart rate into different ranges for different amounts of time, and so I'm constantly having to switch the screens back and forth. I guess I could wear a second timer, but it would just be nice if they were on the same screen. Other than that, I'm very happy with this product.

Comments about Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor - Women's:
I use this monitor every night while I run/walk on my treadmill. It works great! Gives me all the accurate info I need with the touch of a button. It fits well, the strap AND the watch. Yes you have to wet the strap slightly to conduct but it conducts very well and it's very comfortable. The clock face is easy to read and use. You can't go wrong with a Polar product!
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was VERY fast and it was packed well.

Comments about Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor - Women's:
I just bought this after reading and comparing and I love it. Perfect for those who want to accurately see calories burned after a work out or monitor heart rate during workouts.
My only disappointment with it (more with REI) is that I called and live chatted and both people told me that the chest strap fits 27-60" and that it not true. The strap is a size M-XXL and fits 27-45". I'm a 46" chest and it is VERY snug, but it works.
Service and delivery comments:
Very fast delivery. Item arrived in a nice box.
Customer service, as mentioned in the other part of review was wrong. So make sure if you're chest is 46" or larger, to get a different chest strap.
