Product Description

The Polar F6 heart rate monitor is a great choice for using in large groups, where other excercisers might be using wireless training gear that could interfere with your own signal. The F6's coded transmission prevents crosstalk with other monitors so you'll get a personalized workout--even in a class environment. It's packed with innovative training features to help you toward your exercise goals, including: * Zone Pointer: A visible and audible feature on the display of your heart rate monitor showing your target heart rate zone and where your current heart rate is within that zone. * Polar OwnCal: This feature shows your energy expenditure during one exercise session as well as your accumulated kilocalories during several exercise sessions. You can set daily and weekly exercise goals in terms of calorie expenditure with the OwnCal feature. Because the OwnCal tracks both the energy expenditure during one exercise session and the accumulated kilocalories during a longer time e.g. one week, it helps in achieving both short term and long term goals. * Polar OwnZone: This feature guides you through an appropriate warm-up routine and automatically determines a safe and effective exercise heart rate zone--your OwnZone--while taking into account your current physical condition. * Polar OwnCode: This technology blocks unwanted signals from other heart rate monitors, ensuring disturbance-free transmission of your heart rate data.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does what it says, March 23, 2010

This watch does exactly what it says.
Good heart rate monitor, I've been using it for over a month now without problems, syncs perfect with the chest band.

Contrary to popular believe the controls are fairly easy to use while exercising, except for the awkward position of the "Stop" button, though not a major problem.

If you are looking for a "cheap" and good heart rate monitor that also records calories count this is the one for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great watch and durable, December 18, 2011

I'm surprised at the negative reviews on this watch. I have had my Polar F6 for about 8 years now and I absolutely LOVE it. I have run with it, biked with it (including a 100mile century ride and training). I had done lifting sessions and spin classes. I swim with it, I hike with it. This watch puts up with everything I put it through. I have sent it in twice for new batteries which is nothing compared to the hours of tracking it has given me. It is singlehandedly the BEST piece of workout equipment I have ever bought. Highly recommend this watch.

I was satisfied with this product (3 stars) for the first 3 months of use. However, the chest strap connections became a real pain to use / establish connection. The watch functionality is not ideal either. It stopped working approximately after 1 year from purchase. We also bought the female model at the same time. Same problems with the strap, watch still works, but the color faded rapidly it looks very trashy...

Pro's:
- Good while it lasts
- Looks ok (before fading)
Con's
- Chest strap became a major pain
- Interface could use an improvement / be more user friendly
- Low quality construction
- Stopped working

I would not recommend this product and will buy a different brand in the future.
