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 F11M Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Grey Pepper, New Design)
Customer Review: Good choice
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I looked through most of the Heart Rate Montior products before buying the Polar F11. All I wanted was a reliable HRM that could be read by the machines at the gym, track calories burned, tell me when I am over the top of my exercise zone, and hopefully provide a way to upload exercise data to my computer. Pretty basic stuff, and the F11 fulfills all that just fine.
It's comfortable enough to wear while hiking, chopping wood, fishing, etc. The watch component is water-resistant enough that I don't have to worry about getting it wet while unhooking fish, and I can use it like a regular watch during outdoor activity.
I do a lot of uphill hiking (and just about as much downhill...) and condition myself on treadmills. I have noticed that the calorie counter takes the uphill slope into consideration only indirectly, through the increased exertion indicated by heart rate, so the HRM calorie tracking is quite a bit off from the treadmill's tracker - 10% to 20% lower. Not a big deal for me.
It has a lot of features I haven't used, and probably won't, but then I wasn't buying the F11 for them. This HRM does everything I want, was one of the least expensive and least over-featured, top-line quality, and a very good buy for me.
Customer Review: Polar rules!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
So glad to be back with Polar. I used up one of their basic models and then gave Suunto a try. Suunto monitors have big and bold designs and their belts used to be more comfortable than Polar's but for some inexplicable reason mine got moisture inside it and began a slow dying process. It may be a pain to have to send your Polar monitor away to an authorized service center for simple things such as battery changes but they may have some valid reasoning behind it. The F11M is simply my best HRM so far. Easy to use, very accurate and (thanks to a completely new belt design) very reliable and comfortable. The belt really makes this product. It is soft and most importantly the contact points are of a spongy material that retains moisture and guarantees an uninterrupted transmission to the monitor itself. I am a cyclist and with all my previous monitors I've had problems with static and dryness interfering with the belt to monitor communication. No such worries here. It looks great and works great. I'll never try any other brand ever again.Customer Review: A great value for a fitness and health watch

This is my second Polar heart rate monitor (HRM) watch. I bought it because it has more features than my old F6, and since I exercise daily, I wanted a watch that did its job on the trail and looked good in the office. There are so many features that it is mind boggling, and the price is moderate for an HRM. It can be configured in many different ways, -- maybe too many? -- recording exercise data is easy and you can program it to match your personal needs. A bonus is that you can upload the data by transmitting them via a microphone to the Polar Personal Trainer site (polarpersonaltrainer.com) -- it sounds awful -- and keep a diary of your exercise sessions, progress toward a goal, weight loss, etc. Because it's a really good, reasonably priced HRM and because you can upload data, I highly recommend it.Customer Review: Superb help with HRT and workouts

This is my 7th polar monitor in 25 years. It's not that they don't last, I move and misplace them, or decide to go up to the newer model. This model is easy to use, keeps daily and weekly workout info and helps keep you for over working (I frequently go over 160 when it's not the best burn for me( and makes charting success or overwork easy. Love it and now have a back up when batteries need to be replaced. Only problem is Polar needs to work on their payment site as I paid twice and they had no record. Great health addition for the busy people on the go. J LangCustomer Review: Hate to work out WITH OUT my F11
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I lost 60 lbs and have kept it off for 2 years using this F11 Heart rate monitor. The built in trainer is very motivating to me. It lets you know when you need to pick up the pace, and also lets you know when you can back it off a bit and "stride it out." I love the fact that when you get tired and want to quit you look down at the watch and it looks back at you and says come on man, 6 more min. or 85 more calories. You can do it.
Best tool I have ever bought for myself![[
