I am calorie and activity obsessed and I occasionally wear my Polar F11 just when I'm running around all day, shopping, lugging packages or doing housework just so that I can monitor how many calories I am burning doing all these not so lazy activities.I don't enjoy wearing the strap all day long, but again as I previously said; I am calorie and activity obsessed, so one must do what one must do.Anyway, when I received the Polar Newsletter talking about this Activity Monitor, I got so excited because the way it was describe was that it would keep track of ALL of your daily activity and could actually be worn 24/7.I purchased it right away!I wore it one day while doing my errands and housework and it kept telling me that I was being LAZY!It only registers if you are walking very fast and not if you are just doing running up and down of stairs, sweeping, lugging grocery bags or anything.I one day wore it along with my Polar F11 and the activity monitor said I was only active for about 6 minutes and burned only 10 calories when my Polar F11 registered my full amount of time and registered that I burned about 298 calories for the same amount of time wearing both.My friend changed the info on it and tried as she worked out on her treadmill and was not at all accurate for distance, time and again calories vs what the treadmill registered.I know that the treadmills are not 100% accurate for tracking, but they are at least right on the money for the amount of time that you are on it.The Activity Monitor didn't even come close to the same amount of time.I am truly disappointed with this purchase and I wish I didn't rush into the decision as quickly as I did!I will probably never put it on my wrist ever again. I am just hoping that I will be able to sell it to someone else and try to recoup some of what I invested.We will see!I just also wish and hope moving forward that Polar will change its advertising on this product and not fool people into thinking that it will monitor all activity and will not monitor your activity accurately!I otherwise am very happy with my other Polar product and will not hold this against Polar for future purchases which I think I want an updated heart rate monitor to register more data than mine currently does.In summary, this is not worth your money!DO NOT BUY IT!Click Here to see more reviews about: Womens Polar FA20 Fitness Computer
