4 Stars heart monitor
I like it. I haven’t had a chance to figure out all the features yet, but I’m not sure if I’ll need to use all of them anyway. It’s been pretty easy to use so far. The only compaint is that the band that goes around the chest rubs on my skin and I’ve gotten a little chaffing. But I have pretty sensitive skin, so it’s probably more to do with me than the actual product.
1 Star Terrible customer service
I bought this heart monitor on the recomendation of a friend who has one. Unfortunately the company (Joma) did not allow for a size selection. They sent a M which would not fit me. I called the customer service number to try and exchange it for a larger size. It took 25 min to get through only to be told that was “the only one we had”. I then asked how to go about returning it, and was told I had to print out a form and mail it in for a “return code”. However they only allow returns 30 days from when they shipped it to me, and since they took 3 weeks to get it here, and a week to respond to my email so that time is gone now. I would strongly recommend trying a different vendor of the item. Which looks like it would work great…if only it was my size.
5 Stars Awesome HRM
I purchased this HRM 1 month ago and I just love it. This is my first one ever. I learned about it from someone in my spinning class that said, don’t bother messing with the $50-$60 varieties. This was her 3rd HRM and she urged me to just spring for the Polar $100 and I would be much happier. I am!!! I find it pretty easy to learn and navigate my way around. I do boot camp every MWF and found another person in class that also recently purchased the same watch. We compared calories burned and they were pretty close. I find this to be more reliable in telling me calories burned verses what the gym equipment tells me. i.e. I use the eliptical at the gym and my HRM shows I burned 150 calories when the machine says 220. I feel that based on my HR, age and weight, it gives me a more accurate account. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a good reliable HRM.
4 Stars Excellent Product – Even if you’re sasquatch!
I have been very, very pleased with this product so far, after having been using it 3-4 times a week since December ’08 and 5-6 times a week since March ’09. It has performed extremely well even with my (sorry to say) very hairy chest.
If I could have given it 4.5 stars I would have, but the fact that you have to send it away to get the battery changed is sort of hassle. Overall, though, I highly recommend this. Very, very happy with it.
4 Stars Polar F6 – good heart rate monitor, but….
I like the Polar F6 heart rate monitor, but, it is a little uncomfortable for me. For women who wear an underwire bra, it is not very easy to wear. Because of the underwire, I have a hard time getting it in the right position, and when I do, it cuts into me because of the bra. I wish there was another place to wear it, or if they could come up with an alternative heart rate monitor design.
