Description of Polar RS200sd Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Black)
The RS200sd was made for competitive, goal oriented runners who want to enhance their running experience. With the S1 foot pod the RS200sd provides accurate speed and distance data like the S625X so you can combine pace with heart rate data. Use the Event Countdown Timer to manage your training leading up to your next running event. You can even upload your settings to your running computer and then download your workout files to the Polar Running Coach Web Service for analysis. WearLink fabric transmitter included.In order to reach your fitness goals, you need to exercise at the right intensity. Designed for goal-oriented runners, the Polar RS200sd 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. It's great for both beginning runners or more experienced runners preparing for competitions. With the included S1 foot pod, you'll be able to take advantage of the RS200's Speed and Distance functions, such as speed, distance and pace per kmph/mph, target pace (with alarms and differential), trip odometer, run distance, totals for mileage, calories and time training, and summaries for distance and speed/pace.
Use the Polar Sports Zones and the Event Countdown Timer to manage your training for that key running event. You can even upload your settings to your running computer and then download your workout files to the Polar Running Coach Web Service for analysis. The RS200 offers up to 16 exercise files with summaries, date and time, and total calorie expenditure. This model features a black and silver face and strap, but it also comes in red.
Heart rate monitoring includes maximum heart rate (fitness test-based and age-based), maximum/average of total exercise and of each lap (up to 99 laps), three target zones, and audible alarms. It also offers such timing features as time of day (12/24-hour display), dual time zone, day and date display, stopwatch, and alarm with snooze. It features an oversized display, easy to manipulate buttons while on the run, and a comfortable WearLink fabric transmitter.
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 RS200'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 Sport Zones: Polar sport zones provides an easy way to select and monitor the intensity of your training and to follow PolarŐs sport zones based training programs. The training is divided into five zones based on percentages of your maximum heart rate: very light (50-60%HRmax), light (60-70% HRmax), moderate (70-80%HRmax), hard (80-90% HRmax) and maximum (90-100% HRmax).
- 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 RS200sd Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Black)
Customer Review: Great product
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought this product and i have to say that i'm completely satisfied. It has a lot of functions (i'm still discovering all that) and it is easy to use. It shows me my heart rate, speed, distance, all i need to control my running. I feel very animated to running with that and all the information it gives me. I recommend it for all who like running. The footpod is a bit bigger that i was expecting, but it isn't heavy at all and it don't bother anyway while running. It gives confiable measures after calibrating. Great product!Customer Review: Great HRM so far
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I haven't used all the features yet, such as the foot POD, but it has been very dependable so far. I found that I don't have to bother wetting the electrodes prior to my workout. It seems to pick up a signal just fine. I really like the "heart rate target zone lock" feature so I don't have to constantly watch my heart rate. It simple beeps at me when I'm above or below my target. The coded transmitter works with the "Polar ready" equipment in the gym. The calorie counter is far more accurate than any cardio machines.Customer Review: Quality

I've owned the RS200sd for over a year now. I've had to replace the battery in both the watch and heart rate monitor once and the foot pod twice. Outstanding product.
Only complaint is in the transmittal method from the watch to the computer. A USB port would not only be more convenient, but would probably work better as well. Newer batteries in the watch allow the transfer of data with fewer errors.
For the price, you cannot beat the quality.

Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I got the watch as a gift in December. I use it 3 to 4 times a week and run approx. 15 miles a week. I have used it in very cold outdoor weather, rain, and in the hot summer with no problems. I use the heartrate monitor when I'm swimming laps in the pool. Free website is excellent. Transfer all your runs to the website and see progress on graphs. Very accurate footpod and heart rate monitor. Watch also looks good on your wrist(not big and bulky).Customer Review: Polar RS200sd

Polar RS200sd hass the best cost-benefits relation for runners who want to improve their training and running quality. The distance measurement mechanism is very acurate (altough it requires more than one calibration adjustement) and is very simple to operate and transfer data to the computer.
