Summary: Polar F-11
Comment: I really like this Polar heart rate monitor, it's much better than the F-6 model because of the additional features and the fact that I had some problems with the F-6. It would regularlly freeze and I'd have to reset it with all of my information, it's time consuming and frustrating. I much prefer the F-11.

Summary: A few faults not a problem for me, but might be for others...
Comment: I just got this watch in the mail today and have been poring over the manual to make sure that it is programmed correctly. The watch is very attractive, has a large enough display for me to see pretty clearly, and the strap is very comfortable.
A couple of things were frustrating though; if you are not a "tech" person, who is used to cell-phones, texting, and other "smart" equipment that needs to be programmed, the manual is not of much help initially. It gives a general idea of how to do what you need to do in the very beginning. But it took me several minutes to figure out how to get to the main menu, and this is not described anywhere in the manual. I figured it out mostly from luck, and pressing every button several times.
Also, if you are attracted to this product because of the uplink to the web-based training software, be forewarned; you need a microphone on your computer in order for this to be an option. Your wrist unit communicates through the computer's mic by a series of electrical "chirps" and somehow the program decodes this and uploads your files. This is ostensibly how it should work, anyway. I was disappointed because that is not mentioned before purchase and my computer does not have a microphone. Also, the software is not compatible with a Mac, so that is another strike against it. So neither my computer nor my husband's worked; you'd think that with two between us, we would have success somewhere, but no.
I already have a training journal that I keep in writing, so the online one would have been just for kicks anyways. I just wanted to warn people about those few things, because if I had made this purchase and wasn't a tech person and was really going to rely on the software, I would have been pretty ticked off.
Other than those things, I am pretty impressed with how much you can customize all of your programs on here and tailor it to your specific desires. It reads your resting heart rate and calculates ideal levels to work out, and can give you a training schedule from 2 to 5 days a week, with more or less hours a day depending on what you want. I was pleased that since I work out 6 days a week, I was even able to go in and add a workout to the schedule they gave me, and shorten the hours put in on another day to compensate. To top it off, you can name each session, like, "Run", "Weights" or "Run/Walk". You are limited to 8 letters and it takes a while to do it, but I love that kind of stuff.
I think if you are fairly tech savvy and don't care about the training software, this watch is great...but I haven't had much time to see how durable it is so I will check back in a few months!

Summary: Awesome monitor.
Comment: I love this heart monitor. It works great. It is easy to program and use. I bought this model which is a bit big (esthetically) for women but I wanted it to be easy to read and review while running and using at the gym. No regets here. Also, I realize many have had trouble with the computer sync but tech support at this manufacturer was awesome (USA and english speaking) and the online FAQ's solved all needs. Buy with confidence.

Summary: Polar clean design that works
Comment: I have had three Polar heart monitors before I ordered this one. I have no experience with competing brands. The strap has a hook type clasp rather than snaps which is an improvement. The wrist monitor is a little easier to read but I still need my glasses to read it comfortably. If you are looking for a seamless download to a computer for workout record keeping I think you will be disappointed. There lots of bells and whistles with this product that you may not need or use but it will give you solid functionality. I've been back to Polar several times and would go back again.

Summary: I loved it until ...
Comment: I loved this heart rate monitor. Yes, it does have reliability issues. But I was able to overlook that. It felt like I had my own personal trainer. It was a nice gadget. I loved tracking my workout progress. Then after a month and a half of everyday use. It died. Maybe I just had a bad one. But if I'm going to spend $150 and it is only going to last a month. I don't think it is worth it.
