Polar F6 Heart Rate Monitor

Polar F6 Heart Rate Monitor description

If you train around other people, you know how annoying it can be to have you heart-rate monitor pick up other watches transmissions: Oh crap! 180bpm? The Polar F6 Heart Rate Monitor watch uses coded transmissions so you'll get accurate information from your own body instead of the person running next to you. The OwnZone training program lets you find your optimal exercise zone by running you through a warm-up routine and monitoring your heart rate. From your watch you can select an exercise program based on your goal (aerobic fitness, weight loss, etc) and your F6 will let you know how you're performing compared to your optimal workout while you train. It's pretty simple really. Just do whatever your watch tells you to and you'll be in great shape.

This purchase was my first heart rate monitor and I feel that I made a good decision. Although, my watch didn't come with a manual I have figured it out on my own and if I can do it, well...anyone can. I was disappointed that my pale pink watch was shipped to me looking a little dirty.

This is a terrific item. It is easy to use and has a good instruction booklet, but most of the functions can be worked out without having to pore over the booklet. The F6 is a big, big, male sized watch, but for running this is fine. The strap can ride up under layers or sports tops and bras but is for the most part comfy and not noticeable. Very pleased with this HRM and the extra functions to specialize it to your workout is worth the little bit extra.

I was very impressed with the functionality of the unit. I had purchased it for a friend but when I learned of the different features I knew there was an application for myself as well. I travel extensively and need to use its features develop a fitness program for myself that I can use as I travel.
