A Must Have!
By Eric J. Spencley
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2Z6SHDZRJRAM2 [...]*Updates Included!*_____________________________________________________ORIGINAL REVIEW:_____________________________________________________Thoughts:First off, all that i was looking for in a heart monitor was the ability to see my heart rate, see if i'm in the zone, and see how many calories i have burned. This watch does all of those functions flawlessly! My family has a history of heart related problems so when i workout, i need to make sure that i am not putting too much stress on my heart while still maintaining a high level of work. I use this primarily during cardio routines of P90X but i will use this more for running once it gets warm outside.Functionality/Use:The watch is incredibly easy to use. When you first open the box, you go through a setup wizard on the watch asking you to input information such a weight, gender, and units preferences to better tailor the results to the individual. After that, you are literally all set to workout. While many people have had trouble getting the watch to pick up the signal from the strap, i have found that licking or wetting the strap works wonders!Something else that i would like to point out is that the watch have the ability to **beep** when you're out of your zone (either not working hard enough or working way harder than you should be) that is priceless! I have found sometimes during my workouts that i'm pushing myself really hard and i end up getting my heart rate above 185 BPM which is not really the best thing to do. This **beep** is great for some workouts but terrible for others. Luckily, you can turn the **beep** off very easily. I prefer to turn the beep off if i'm going to do interval training like sprints or something where my BPM is not always in the zone.Other:Just a few quick things i would like to point out. I've read online that detaching the heart rate pod from the strap will make the battery last longer. I am not sure this actually does anything, but it gives me ease of mind thinking that i am actually making it last longer.Pros:LightweightComfortableEasy to use**Beep** while outside of the "zone" is a great feature that can be turned on/offCons:NoneOverall:Overall, i can't think of a better watch to spend my money on. No, this doesn't give graphs on how you're doing over time but that is not what I was looking for. This is a great buy and i have used it for a good period of time and have had no issues at all with it._____________________________________________________UPDATE #1: AFTER 2 MONTHS_____________________________________________________After two months, this watch is still working perfectly! I have had no issues and i love that i have the ability to look at combined totals of my workouts! As of today, i have burned over 35,000 calories!!! This feature is something that keeps you motivated to keep working hard. Before this watch, i never was that into working out. Now when i run, instead of going a certain distance, i like to aim for a caloric goal (about 1,000) before i end my workout.I still highly recommend this watch to anyone looking for a great heart monitor!_____________________________________________________UPDATE #2: April 4th, 2013_____________________________________________________I just started the Insanity workout series today and this watch comes in handy! I am able to see if I am over/underworking so that i can obtain my goals. Something i wanted to throw out there was cleaning this unit. I know that sweating all over something causes bacteria to grow and i also noticed after a while, salt (from my sweat) would build up on the chest strap.I clean it like so;CLEANING:-Watch ~Wipe down with a Clorox Bleach Wipe ~Soak in some hot water for a few seconds ~Dry~Strap ~Wipe down with a Clorox Bleach Wipe ~Place in the washing machine on A VERY GENTLE SETTINGS ~Allow to air-dry~HRM Pod ~Wipe down with a Clorox Bleach Wipe ~Soak in some hot water for a few seconds ~Dry_____________________________________________________UPDATE #3: April 26th, 2013_____________________________________________________I have now had this for about 5 months and i STILL cannot say enough about how much i love this! It still looks brand new!I have received a few questions asking about the adjustably of the model. To the best of the knowledge, there is NO difference between the mens and women's models. My girlfriend has tried on the watch and it's not tool big for her. You can tighten to watch to a circumference of 2inches (and i really hope no one has that small of wrist) which means that virtually anyone can wear it. The same goes from the chest strap, you can tighten that to about a circumference of 20 inches and again i really hope as an adult your chest is not that small.Long story short, this is a great product that should fit virtually everyone who tries it!Keep up the good work polar!

Minor flaws but good quality and accuracy
By foreRB
I purchased this recently and have only used it a few times but I am satisfied with it. Minor flaws are a very weak instruction manual and not very intuitive button design. The belt is comfortable but DOES need some moisture to transmit, but only a drop or two of water is needed. Watch is nice and comfortable, and strap looks durable. I measured the reading against a blood pressure monitor that reads pulse and they were consistently within one BPM difference, so it seems very accurate. Batteries are changeable by owner and look to be pretty simple to install. Happy with purchase....

By Misty Kelly
This heart monitor is awesome not to mention affordable. Once all of your information is input It keeps track of how many calories your burning so you know exactly how efficient your workout was. The LCD display is easy to read when tracking my heart rate and beeps if it gets too high. The chest strap I actually forget I'm wearing. Its simple and comfortable and adjustable. Its just a no brainer!!! Get this watch monitor!!!!!
