Amazon.com Product Description

If you're serious about reaching your training and fitness goals, the Polar S210 heart rate monitor will help you take it to the next level. It comes with the S210 wrist receiver, a transmitter that's worn comfortably around your chest, and an elastic strap to hold the transmitter in place. The wristwatch-like receiver features a large display that includes 12/24-hour time of day, alarm, and stopwatch. It provides readings of maximum heart rate of total exercise, average/maximum heart rate of each lap, recovery measurement (by either heart rate divided or time), and interval timers.

The OwnCal feature shows your energy expenditure during one exercise session as well as your accumulated kilocalories during several exercise sessions. It also allows you to set daily and weekly exercise goals in terms of calorie expenditure. The OwnIndex feature will determine your fitness level, track your improvements, and provide motivation. Polar's OwnCode technology blocks unwanted signals from other heart rate monitors, ensuring disturbance-free transmission of your heart rate data. The S210 also includes the UpLink feature, which enables you to download an exercise set and monitor icons from the Polar web site to the included PC software.

The S210's visual and audible alarms alert you when you reach 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.

If this will be your first HRM, I recommend spending the extra money for the S210. The less expensive models lack backlighting and do not allow programable interval training - a feature that you may appreciate having as you progress.

LOVE THIS PRODUCT. Although it takes a bit of reading to really understand how to use all the tools..and things like the calorie counter don't work until your heart rate is above 90, but it does work.

This review is from: Polar S210 Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Sports)

I have only 2 reservations with this watch. Firstly, the battery requires replacement after 18-months. A review of my training diary showed that I had used it for about 225hrs of training in this period (I don't always use my watch when running). The manual suggested that it would last 2 years, 7 days/week for an hour per day (aqpprox 700 hrs of use). Further, pushing the 'stop' button to finish your workout doesn't always seem to deactivate the timer. Sometines several clear/hard pushes are required. Other than that it is easy to use and performs well.
