I really like this polar watch...the only problems that I have had with it is that sometimes it doesn't keep up with my heartrate. Well, I should say once in a while. from Amazon.com The heart monitor and watch work fine BUT the display is grainy, small, and hard to see. Far cheaper monitors and watches have far better, brighter, bigger displays. from Amazon.com The monitor has great features. Probably the best in the market. from Amazon.com I liked the POLAR F6 a lot, it is easy to use and useful in order to have the acurate measurement of the heart rate during the excercise session. from Amazon.com To my surprise, you cannot change the batteries on this watch yourself. The batteries will die after about 6 months to a year and you have to send it back to the factory (which means being without a watch for several weeks AND paying 30-50$ for battery replacement). During battery replacement the factory damaged my watch. from Amazon.com This is my first experience with a heart rate monitor. Being an overweight woman, with a heart condition, a heart rate monitor was recommended by my nutritionist and doctor upon beginning a new life style. from Amazon.com But I'm glad I sucked it up, and took the chance. I wasn't sure I'd be able to handle a strap around my chest while running, walking, biking & weight training. However, once I figured the strap out (it's not rocket science, but it managed to confuse me for a while), this is the best piece of workout gear I have ever purchased. Better than my Nike's, better than my super ridiculous expensive but oh-so-comfy clothing, & better than my Nike/Apple Sportskit for my iPod. from Amazon.com Monitor is as shown - if you wear the watch as a timepiece and want to use it for exercise, this may not be the model for you. You can't switch back and forth from time to heart rate and exercise without starting exercise data completely over. from Amazon.com So, I bought this watch originally thinking it would monitor my heart rate on command. Big mistake. from Amazon.com I wanted a monitor for cycling and other exercise. This one is simple to use and provides the info I want. from Amazon.com
