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: Awesome monitor.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I love this heart monitor. It works great. It is easy to program and use. I bought this model which is a bit big (esthetically) for women but I wanted it to be easy to read and review while running and using at the gym. No regets here. Also, I realize many have had trouble with the computer sync but tech support at this manufacturer was awesome (USA and english speaking) and the online FAQ's solved all needs. Buy with confidence.Customer Review: I Love this Heartrate Monitor!!

I have had the an F11 women's for the past 2 years, with no problems. I decided to get this one for my boyfriend and he loves it! It is so easy to use and comfortable to wear. There are 3 heart rate zones and a diary to keep track of workouts and calories burned. This is a great product!Customer Review: Great heart rate monitor
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Bought this to replace a basic Polar monitor that had heart rate only. I like all of the additional capabilities (calorie count, Fit Test, etc.). My favorite improvement is actually the cloth heart strap, which is so much more comfortable than my old plastic one.Customer Review: Great product, data storing feature not terribly useful

Polar F11 Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Grey Pepper)
I've been using this for a few weeks. The accuracy of the heart rate and calorie measurements is fabulous. Also, I've never had a problem getting a reading at all. This product just plain works.
The data feature it comes with isn't terribly useful, though. For instance, the only data that it is capable of saving from a workout is time of workout, max heart rate, calories burned, and average heart rate. It does not save your heart rate at every moment during the workout then graph it out.
The OwnIndex feature, which tests your cardio fitness level while you lie down, is kind of neat, but I think most people getting one of these already have a pretty good idea of their cardio fitness level. It's fun nonetheless.
Customer Review: Polar clean design that works
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I have had three Polar heart monitors before I ordered this one. I have no experience with competing brands. The strap has a hook type clasp rather than snaps which is an improvement. The wrist monitor is a little easier to read but I still need my glasses to read it comfortably. If you are looking for a seamless download to a computer for workout record keeping I think you will be disappointed. There lots of bells and whistles with this product that you may not need or use but it will give you solid functionality. I've been back to Polar several times and would go back again.
