Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The Polar F6 heart rate monitor is a great choice for using in large groups where other exercisers 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.
The Fitness Bullets feature shows a bullet on the monitor's display for every 10 minutes spent exercising/training in your target heart rate zone. The Time in Target Zone feature calculates the amount of total exercise time spent in your personal target zone. You can use this feature together with the Total Exercise Time to determine the effectiveness of your exercise program. You can also better assess your training data using the included Polar Precision Performance (PPP) 4.0 software and the SonicLink feature, which wirelessly uploads exercise settings to the software or to Polar's web service.
Other features include:
- Display of heart rate, exercise time and average heart rate
- 24-hour clock with day/week indicator and stopwatch
- Large easy-to-read display with split screen
- One-year average battery life
- Water resistant to 30 meters (100 feet)

About Polar
The first EKG accurate wireless heart rate monitor was invented by Polar back in 1977 as a training tool for the Finnish National Cross Country Ski Team. The concept of "intensity training" by heart rate swept the athletic world in the eighties. By the 1990s, individuals were looking to heart rate monitors not only for performance training needs, but also for achieving everyday fitness goals. Today, the same concept of heart rate training is being used by world-class athletes as well as everyday people trying to lose weight. Polar is the leading brand among consumers, coaches, and personal trainers worldwide and the company is committed to not only producing the best products, but also being the leading educator on the benefits of heart rate based exercise.

Polar F6 Heart Rate Monitor,
By Susan McGill (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Polar F6 Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Sand Pearl) (Sports)
Overall I am very pleased with this watch. I am not a health nut of a fitness fiend. I'm just an average person looking to get into better shape and needed something to tell me if I am over working or not working hard enough.
The Polar F6 Heart Rate Monitor did just that. The watch helps you figure out your "zones" that you personally work well in and monitors where you average, your peaks, your lows, counts your calories and then gives you a full report once you're done. For someone like me this is great! I found that I was not working hard enough and that when I did get an urge to work hard I was over doing it. With this watch I can pace myself and extend my workouts. Before I would get winded and have to stop. Then I would get frustrated and have to walk away, thus not fulfilling my fitness goals. In the month that I've been using the Polar F6 Heart Rate Monitor I have found a new interest in my workout and am on my way to having a semi-pleasant bathing suit season (if that is possible.) So to make a long story short, this watch has helped me a great deal and I am very happy with it.

The heart rate monitor watch is a nice tool; it has a full set of functionalities and it is perfectly suited for a lot of types of training.
The watch is very easy to use and instructions are user friendly. A complete set of programs allow planning of almost professional trainings. Despite all of this price is really affordable.
