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.
Sports reviews of Polar A4 Pulse Heart Rate Monitor Watch
Customer Review: not worth $5
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
The watch does tell time, but that is not why I purchased it. When I run, it does not tell my heart rate. I fact it is the watch that made my heart rate go up. I will never purchase another Polar product.Customer Review: don't buy this item unless you want it as a watch

The pulse rate feature on this item never worked. It is a good watch to exercise with and has some features, as a watch, that I liked.Customer Review: Don't waste your time...

The idea is great, but it just doesn't work. It really gives erratic heart rate readings - very undependable...
