Description of Polar RS100 Heart Rate Monitor and Stopwatch
The RS100 is a simple, no-fuss solution that's perfect for entry level runners who want to get on the right track to fitness. It comes with a variety of uncomplicated yet highly effective features. Heart Rate features include OwnCode, OwnCal, OwnZone, average heart rate and maximum heart rate. Data features include 1 exercise file and data transfer.In order to reach your fitness goals, you need to exercise at the right intensity. The Polar RS100 wrist heart rate monitor helps you to easily and accurately measure your heart rate to help you get to just the right intensity or your exertion level. This basic HRM features added stopwatch and time-of-day watch features as well as extra-large digits for easy readability. 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.
The RS100 displays heart rate as beats per minute (beats per minute) and as a percentage of the maximum heart rate. The Target Zone feature can be set manually or automatically (for age/weight), and the RS100 provides visual and auditory alarms when you've moved away from the zone. Other features include dual time zone, alarm with snooze, and water resistance to 50 meters.
It's 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 RS100's coded transmission prevents crosstalk with other monitors so you'll get a personalized workout--even in a class environment. It also includes the following exclusive Polar features:
- 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.

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 RS100 Heart Rate Monitor and Stopwatch
Customer Review: Great heart rate monitor for cardio
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
The Polar RS100 is solid. This is my second - lost the first one.
I use it for measuring my heart rate swimming, biking and cardio with workouts.
I have seen a significant athletic performance increase by working the three heart zones of 65%, 75% and 85%.
My wife also uses one for her marathon training.
Customer Review: Rugged, effective, indispensable
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I use this HRM between 4 and 6 times per week. I can't imagine working out without it. The features are relatively basic. If you want to download your information to a computer, it is probably worth stepping up to one of the higher priced models. But this one provides all of the information about your heart rate that you really need.Customer Review: Great Product
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This HRM has great functions and works well as described. The sensor responses fast to sundden rises / drops of heart beats. The only downside of this product is that it can only store one set of workout record at a time(your workout summary for the day). Other than that, it's all good.Customer Review: Great product
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
