5 Stars Polar Heart Rate Monitor for idiots
Excellent purchase. Very easy to set upper a and lower target zones. I am technologically challenged and setting the time and heart rate zones was a breeze. The price is very good and the brand is excellent.
5 Stars best purchase this year!
I bought this to hlep keep my all too rapid heart rate under control when exercising. It works wonderful! The trainer at the gym said Polar is one of the best and this was a great choice. As an added benefit, when I am on the elipitcal or treadmill, it links in to their system and I don’t have to keep looking down at the watch, it shows up on their counter.
5 Stars Works just like it should
I’ve been using this HR monitor for a couple of weeks now and am very happy with it. When I first got it, I found the instructions for setting it up a bit confusing. The set-up is non-intuitive, but since there’s only a single button on the monitor, there’s probably not a lot that can be done to simplify the process. Anyhow, after about 15 minutes, I was able to figure out what I needed to do in order to get it to work.
Several reviewers complained about the chest strap. I don’t find it to be a bother and in fact, after a while, I don’t even notice it’s there. I don’t cinch it down very tight and it works just fine. The monitor seems to be rock solid. I really like the large readout since I don’t wear my glasses while exercising. Even without my glasses, the numbers are clear (to me). I also keep the beeping option ON so that the monitor beeps when I’m above or below my target heart rate. The beep is soft enough to be background noise, but loud enough to let me know that I am not within my targeted range.
When first beginning an exercise session, the monitor will read zero for a short while, until it has collected enough data to accurately show your heart rate. After a minute or so, the numbers don’t jump around, except as one might anticipate with changing exercise levels.
This monitor tells the time, length of exercise session, average HR for the most recent session, and your current heart rate. Not a lot of other bells and whistles, which is exactly what I was looking for.
4 Stars Heart Rate Monitor
This is a great tool for monitoring your heart rate. With it’s one button function makes it an eaze to use. The only problem is the chest strap. Sometimes it slips out from under my chest and stops monitoring. Other times it would feel too tight during workout even though I loosen the tension alittle bit. I wish they would make one that don’t require a chest strap, and display continuous readouts when just worn around your wrist.
5 Stars Good HR monitor watch!
This HR monitor watch is very basic and it does what its supposed to do, nothing too complicated about it. Good price
