Description of Polar F6 Men's Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Black Coal)
The F6 is a stylish model with advanced features previously found on products over $150.The Polar F6 heart rate monitor is a great choice for using in large groups where other exercisers might be using wireless training gear that could interfere with your own signal. The F6's coded transmission prevents crosstalk with other monitors so you'll get a personalized workout--even in a class environment. It's packed with innovative training features to help you toward your exercise goals, including:
- Zone Pointer: A visible and audible feature on the display of your heart rate monitor showing your target heart rate zone and where your current heart rate is within that zone.
- Polar OwnCal: This feature shows your energy expenditure during one exercise session as well as your accumulated kilocalories during several exercise sessions. You can set daily and weekly exercise goals in terms of calorie expenditure with the OwnCal feature. Because the OwnCal tracks both the energy expenditure during one exercise session and the accumulated kilocalories during a longer time e.g. one week, it helps in achieving both short term and long term goals.
- Polar OwnZone: This feature guides you through an appropriate warm-up routine and automatically determines a safe and effective exercise heart rate zone--your OwnZone--while taking into account your current physical condition.
- Polar OwnCode: This technology blocks unwanted signals from other heart rate monitors, ensuring disturbance-free transmission of your heart rate data.
The Fitness Bullets feature shows a bullet on the monitor's display for every 10 minutes spent exercising/training in your target heart rate zone. The Time in Target Zone feature calculates the amount of total exercise time spent in your personal target zone. You can use this feature together with the Total Exercise Time to determine the effectiveness of your exercise program. You can also better assess your training data using the included Polar Precision Performance (PPP) 4.0 software and the SonicLink feature, which wirelessly uploads exercise settings to the software or to Polar's web service.
Other features include:
- Display of heart rate, exercise time and average heart rate
- 24-hour clock with day/week indicator and stopwatch
- Large easy-to-read display with split screen
- One-year average battery life
- Water resistant to 30 meters (100 feet)

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 F6 Men's Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Black Coal)
Customer Review: Polar F6 Heart Rate Monitor Watch
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
All i can say is excellent! I was impressed with it the minute i activated it.
The manual is easy to read unlike so many other manuals that make what should be a simple action seem like you must know how to read backwards and skip pages frequently.
This monitor has features you can utilize for maximum results such as,
degree of workout intensity, heart rate limits and alarms that will let you know if you are overdoing it and many more than i can describe here.
Do your research carefully and when that is done i bet you'll come back to this one.
Customer Review: I LOVE IT!! A MUST HAVE IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT LOSING WEIGHT
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is my second Polar watch and I love the product. Gym machines over estimate the number of calories burned and I wanted something more accurate.
No need in thinking I burned 500 calories when I only burned 390.
If you are serious about losing and keeping off the weight, this is a worthwhile investment. Don't even think about purchasing a different brand. Polar is the gold standard.
They have many models to choose from. You will be satisfied.
Customer Review: Great heart rate monitor!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I've only been using my Polar F6 for 2 weeks now, and it's working spot on. I have ZERO problems with it picking up my heart rate, and the features are great and easy to use.
Pros: Accurate (better calorie counter than those on machines-obviously), easy to use, using online support to track results is great and easy, heart rate monitor works perfect.
Cons: Only one.......this watch is ugly. No beans about it-it's great for working out, but I wouldn't wear it outside the gym.
Customer Review: Very good product
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I have been using the F6 for a few weeks now. It's very accurate and trouble free. Provides weekly stats of intensity, calories burned, time spent, high and low heart rates. You can program the F6 for different intensity levels or let it automatically determine your exercise zone based upon sex, age, height and weight that you enter. A fine product. I highly recommend it. Free delivery; arrived in 2 days. Larry, Albany, NY.
Customer Review: Love, love, love this heart monitor!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I'm wearing it as I'm writing this review! It's just amazing how much LESS calories you are actually burning at the gym if you guide yourself by the machines and the standard calculations it gives you; it was an eye opener for me. The other thing I was amazed to discover was how much more calories I burn by actually walking instead of using the treadmill. interesting stuff. This watch is easy to use, I recommend it 100%. =)
