Sports reviews of Polar F11M Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Grey Pepper, New Design)
Customer Review: A Very Impressive Heart Rate Monitor, Polar F11
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
In the past I have used several Polar Heart Rate Monitors (HRMs). However, it has been almost 8 years since I last used one and have recently re-started my running program after 8 years away from it.
I am always concerned about beginning a challenging sports regemine and prefer to do it in a heart-friendly way: HRMs are the key for me.
Looking at all of the options from Polar (I have always had great experiences with Polar products, unlike a few others which have been sort of hit-n-miss in terms of quality and reliability). I didn't want to spend a lot of money; but wanted to be sure it had a logging capability. I chose the F11 because it seemed to be the best combination of relatively low cost with good features.
I have been using it now for almost 4 weeks and have found it to be well worth every penny. The logging capabilitly has proven to be just fine (I had used one, in the past, that logged heart rate every minute or so which provided a great history of how I handled different terrain; but the cost of such monitors was much more than I wanted to spend at this point) and it is very easy to use.
The only challenge that I had was trying to figure out how to upload the workouts to the Polar Web sites fitness tracking web site. The challenge was figuring out that there is a "SEND" option on the "FILES" setting...but you have to scroll down to get to it.
It wasn't in the Polar user's manual at all...in fact, my experience, is that the User's Guide is pretty poor...just good enough to get started. I have figured out most of it on my own; but I'm a bit of a computer geek so it wasn't that challenging...for someone who is not so Info Technology literate, I think it would be hard (or not possible) to figure out. It took a lot of research on the Polar Web site to finally find what was needed.
I find the Polar Website to be adequate for logging purposes. It has a lot of features that look pretty nice at first; but I think it isn't really all that powerful. I like the logging; but the rest (the "partners", the "workouts", etc.) just don't measure up and are more fluff (in my opinion) than of real value.
As I said, however, I do like the basic logging capability. There is also some good "Calculators" that you can use and that I like pretty well (e.g., for figuring out Pace from Time and Distance). All could be done with a simple hand calculator; but I like having them available on-line while at their web site.
Overall, I really like this HRM. It does what I need; it has nice extra features over the truly basic HRMs and it lives up, in my estimation, to the excellent experiences I have always had with Polar HRMs.
I would definitely recomend this product to others who are similarly looking for a upper low to low mid-range (in terms of cost and features) HRM.

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.
