Sports reviews of Polar S610i Heart Rate Monitor Watch

Customer Review: Great
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I've been using the Polar s610i for about 6-7 years now, off and on. I started using the watch in college, where I was an endurance athlete. I recorded many of my competitions. Its pretty neat to be able to load those heart rate recordings on my computer now, where I can directly compare my fitness with myself many years ago. The receiver itself (the part that goes on your wrist) is bulletproof. I've been wearing it since 2003 or 2004. I've had the battery changed twice, by Polar service. The strap has had some issues.. I've gone through about four of them. You really gotta wash the thing after you use it, and even then, they seem to wear out. I'm currently borrowing my brothers strap, until I get the nerve to bite the bullet and pay $50+ for a new one. All in all, its a great training device. I wish the software were just a little bit easier to use. Also, the diary feature could use some tweaking. Hopefully Polar will fix this. I look forward to buying a similar model from Polar once this once reaches the end of it's life.

Description of Polar S610i Heart Rate Monitor Watch

The S610i is the most powerful training tool available. With the new Infrared technology, you can download directly to your PC without a separate interface.* Get back from your workout and in seconds, the most in-depth performance analysis is right there on your PC. New enhanced Polar Performance software lets you look at your workouts every 5, 15 or 60 seconds. The 610 was designed for the athlete who trains with their head. *Please note, your PC or Laptop must have an IR window or you will need a separate Polar IR interface.
If you're serious about hitting your training and fitness goals, the Polar S620i heart rate monitor will help you take it to the next level. With its built-in infrared port, you can download exercise data directly to your PC without a separate interface. It comes with the S620i wrist receiver, a transmitter that's worn comfortably around your chest, and an elastic strap to hold the transmitter in place. The wristwatch-like receiver features a large display that includes 12/24-hour time of day, alarm, and stopwatch. It provides readings of maximum heart rate of total exercise, average/maximum heart rate of each lap, recovery measurement (by either heart rate divided or time), and interval timers.

You can also better assess your training data using the included Polar Precision Performance (PPP) 4.0 software when you transfer data from the monitor to the PC via a wireless infrared (IR) connection. This feature requires a PC with an IR window or you will need a separate Polar IR interface.

The OwnCal feature shows your energy expenditure during one exercise session as well as your accumulated kilocalories during several exercise sessions. It also allows you to set daily and weekly exercise goals in terms of calorie expenditure. The OwnIndex feature will determine your fitness level, track your improvements, and provide motivation. Polar's OwnCode technology blocks unwanted signals from other heart rate monitors, ensuring disturbance-free transmission of your heart rate data.

The S620i's visual and audible alarms alert you when you reach 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.
