Sports reviews of Polar F11 Women's Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Blue Glow, New Design)
Customer Review: Excellent investment!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I recently bought the Polar F11 heart rate monitor at the suggestion of my trainer. I have been working out consistently for several years but it's just been within the last 6 months that I've really gotten serious about getting into shape. My trainer told me that a heart rate monitor would be a great way to track my progress and make sure I'm working out at the proper level.
After doing some research it was no secret that Polar is absolutely the best of the best. Hands down they receive the best ratings, are very user friendly, and seem to have a lot of repeat customers or customers that come based on recommendations. It was a little difficult for me to choose a model, and I asked several of my workout buddies which they preferred. After looking at all of the different monitors, I went with the F11 model for the following reasons:
Fitness test and program: There is a fitness test that tests your heart rate for 5 minutes and then gives you a number. Based on that number you can choose to create a program that will maintain, advance, or maximize your fitness level. Based on what you want to do (I chose maximize) it creates a program for you. Mine says to work out 5 days a week (you can change this) and tells me to do a total of 3 normal length sessions, 1 long, and 1 short. It gives times and target calories for all of these. If you reach 80% of your goal you are given a picture of a trophy that is displayed on the main screen of your watch. For me this was very motivating, as I wanted to keep that trophy on my screen! It was a reminder that I worked hard and it made me want to keep working hard.
Storage: It stores all of my daily sessions for about 12 days and probably about the same amount of weekly sessions (I've only had mine for 6 weeks so its not full). Within each day or week you can see how long you exercised total, how many calories you burned, how long your heart rate was at each zone (light, moderate, or hard) and how many sessions you had (each week). It's great to be able to track your progress over time and see your progression.
As a bonus, it syncs with all of the treadmills, ellipticals, stair climbers, and bikes at my gym (they aren't a Polar model). I think that any cardio machine that has a place for you to put your hands and measure your heart rate will sync up with this heart rate monitor. It was really nice to be able to see my heart rate vary as I was exercising without having to always look down at the watch.
The strap was very comfortable, I didn't even feel it when I was exercising.
The watch was pretty user friendly, but it took me some time to get the hang of everything. This was my first heart rate monitor purchase and I would absolutely recommend this to anybody. It's a great deal for the price you'll pay, not too expensive but with a lot more features than a basic model. You don't have to be a super jock to get a lot of use out of this, it's been very motivating for me to use in every day use. I got it primarily to be able to workout outdoors in the summer and skip the gym a little more often and it's been great for that. I wear it when I go hiking, running, at the gym, and even walking the dogs. I don't forsee ever using a different model as these are very high quality and very useful for my workouts. I would absolutely recommend this model!

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.
