Sports reviews of Polar F6 Women's Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Pink Coral)

Customer Review: Like a trainer on your wrist
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I am not a marathoner: I'm barely a run-walker. Polar heart rate monitors (mine is the F6) help me work harder and smarter.

The Own Zone feature on the Polar F6 Pink Coral (Size Large Chest Transmitter 42-60 Inch Chest) Heart Rate Monitor for Women (and most of their monitors, I think), calculates your target heart rate zone. After you've warmed up, it starts beeping when you are below your zone. I can't stand the beeping, so I speed up. Sometimes, I then go to the other extreme and raise my heart rate too high. Then it starts beeping again.

The Polar watch tracks time in your target zone, so I set my aerobic goal based on that number instead of total time working out. It feels like a game to me. My goal is to keep it from beeping for 30 minutes -- and I speed up or slow down to control it. If my heart rate it too slow -- then those minutes literally don't count. If my heart rate is too fast -- then those minutes don't count, either.


Personally, the reassurance of an actual measure of my effort is much more effective for me than the "sing" test that many people recommend to guess at your intensity. Remember the Presidential Fitness drills in school? I'd have these really embarrassing attacks during the running portion. My friends and other kids laughed and impersonated the honking-seal sort of sound that came out of me. The doctor called it exercise induced asthma - and prescribed a rescue inhaler.

I'm not a doctor -- please don't take this as medical advice-- but if I keep my heart rate within the Polar measured target heart rate zone, I may breathe very heavily and be short of breath, but I have not yet had another full blown seal attack. So, that also encourages me to try harder -- because I've come to trust that number -- I'm not as scared when I start breathing heavily.

Description of Polar F6 Women's Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Pink Coral)

The Polar(r) F6 heart rate monitor offers a sylish design with performance features to help you monitor your workout. It tracks your calories and percentage of fat burned with OwnCal(r) technology and OwnZone(r) automatically establishes your personal target heart rate zones. It also includes full watch functions, a stopwatch and a backlit display.
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:


The F6 displays your heart rate, exercise time, and average heart rate.
  • 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.
