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 tool
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
For those interested in getting a basic HRM this is a really good tool. The features are easy to use, and the possibility to use the online tool from Polar gives you a way to do a nice and structured training diary. The calorie counter seems far more accurate than those you see in fitness centers etc.
Only complaint I have is that I cannot get the weblink to work and have to update my data manually on the website, but that is no real trouble. I also noticed that the HRM band is fairly small, so for a big person it might be tight.
One of the buttons have fallen off, but seems to be more because it got stuck and not because of a design error as such.
For my next HRM I will also select polar!!
Customer Review: An Excellent Heart Rate Monitor
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I upgraded from a beginner's model to the RS200sd and am glad that I did. I love the ability to track my pace and distance while running. The countdown event alarm allowed me to stay focused for a marathon while I trained. The only drawback of the design is that the watch and the wrist band are molded together. My guess is that if the band breaks you have to buy a new model. I've had it for a year now and the wristband is still in good condition. I gave it four stars for the wristband. If the wristband were replaceable I would have given this review five stars.Customer Review: Works Well
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This watch/heart monitor is just what I expected. Comes with all the features I was looking for. As other reviews have mentioned it is a bit complex at the beginning. But stick with it and it will be easy to use in no time. I would have preferred the red version, however purchased the black one because at the time the red was $50 more. Same features different color shouldn't cost that much more. I'm not a stupid consumer.Customer Review: Good watch
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This is a good entry level watch for a runner that wants to follow their HR during runs. The watch is only moderately complex. The numbers are legible. The basic kit comes with a strap, the sd kit comes with the footpod.
You really need to buy into the HR zones to get the full function of this watch. Otherwise, it may be a bit of overkill. The polar website has some additional instructions that help with this.
Customer Review: Great monitor
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
The Polar 200sd is a good monitor and I love the footpod but I still have not been able to send the info via there heart link connection using my laptop. It seems like a great feature since the website keeps a log of all your workoutsw and provides feedback. I have been using the nike site for tracking runs and that one works great.
