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.
Sports reviews of Polar F6 Women's Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Pink Coral)
Customer Review: works very well
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is the first heart monitor I have owned and overall I found it easy to understand, to set up, and to use. The monitor beeps when you fall below your recommended heart rate and personally I find the sound obnoxious so it's a good motivator to pick my pace up to enter the target zone. It did take me several times to become familiar with which buttons to press to get certain functions,however I may just be on "function button" overload between all the electronic goodies I have. I do find it a very information resource when working out.Customer Review: Makes workouts more interesting

I bought this heart rate monitor about 2 months and absolutely love it. The quantitative feedback on my running has definitely helped me to stay motivated, and it also helps me to determine whether I'm working hard enough. The chest strap took some adjusting before I was able to keep it from slipping down my abdomen while running. It has to be rather tight to prevent it from falling off from the constant bouncing.
My only regret is that I didn't purchase a more expensive monitor with GPS built in for seeing how far I've run.

Purchased the Polar F6 heart rate monitor watch for my wife to use during her Jazzercise class. She has used it for about 3 weeks as of this reporting and finds it very helpful in monitoring her cardiovascular system during her exercise routine. She especially likes the color (Pink Coral; a typical woman's preference. Others in the class have another Polar model that is black in color, purchased through the Jazzercise franchise owner, that has less functionality but cost the same to purchase. The delivery process was flawless.Customer Review: LOVE IT!!!

I am training for a tri and needed to start dialing in on my heart rate zones. This watch and strap are perfect for a great price. I am able to track all of my workouts on the Polar Training site and it tells me calories burned, how long I worked out in the correct zone. Some of the previous reviewers talk about the cheapness of the watch (because it is plastic) and the lack of the chest strap. This DOES come with a chest strap and the watch is plastic which is ideal since it is for folks who are working out and sweating.Customer Review: AWESOME!!

I've never had any problems with my F6, it's my constant companion when working out and it's easy to set up, read and monitor. I couldnt possibly ask for anything better. I love that I can do my land workout, then jump in the pool with it on and it continues to monitor my progress in calorie burning.
If this one ever conks out, I'll be the first to buy another. I've had it for three years and never had a problem- i might add that I can be a bit rough of stuff, so it's sturdyness is definitely an added plus!
