Easy to operate, works with Polar fitness equipment at gym,
By
This review is from: Polar F1 Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Sports)
It was intimidating to begin using a heart rate monitor, but at the age of 50 the clear, instantaneous feedback of a monitor has become a necessary part of my fitness regime. This inexpensive set-up has proven to be just what was needed.I'm not big on instruction manuals and this comes with a hefty one. For what I wanted to do -- just monitor my heart rate, thank you very much -- it turned out that the instructions were relatively simple. I was "up and running" (so to speak) just a few minutes after opening the box. Figuring out the strap, transmitter, and "watch" (the device that actually shows heart rate) is not rocket science, once you've assimilated the basic instructions. I am your basic equipment dweeb, so if I could figure it out... Our gym has several types of heart-rate equipped Polar machines: recumbent bikes and treadmills. For these, the "watch" is superfluous because the machine picks up and reports the heart rate from the transmitter. Continuously. The instant feedback is useful for making immediate adjustments, which an overly-ambitious middle-aged lady would want to do when the heart rate gets pushed beyond reasonable bounds. Amusingly, it also provided me with the information that when one of the gym monitors sings along with the tapes, my heart rate goes down. It's possible that I may one day want to graduate to a more sophisticated monitor. But for someone starting out, this has proven to be a reliable, useful, and easily adopted part of my workout kit.

Service is a Problem,
By
This review is from: Polar F1 Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Sports)
Loved the monitor and used it at every workout. However, when the battery waned and I went to the retailer for replacement, I discovered it needed to be mailed in to Polar for servicing. More than a bit of an inconvenience. Would be an ENORMOUS improvement if basic maintenance could be handled without the hassle and delay of shipping.

Heart monitor is working well for my use on the treadmill,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The Polar B1 is easy to put on and the chest strap is comfortable. It sometimes takes a couple of "wettings" of the chest part with water to get the watch part pulse to read out.The area where a few drops of water goes could be better labled.But the digital readout is large size and easy to read and it does what it says it will. I am very satisfied-I like staying in my training rate and not getting my pulse too high. Chris E.
